ASSEMBLY
Installing Wheels, Handles, Molded
Foot Bumpers
1.
THE WHEELS AND HANDLE DO NOT PRO-
VIDE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE, STABILITY
OR SUPPORT FOR PULLING THE UNIT UP
AND DOWN STAIRS OR STEPS. THE UNIT
MUST BE LIFTED, OR PUSHED UP A RAMP.
Attach the handletothe compressor saddle by insert-
ingthe handle insidethecompressor saddleand lining
up the bolt holes on each side. Install thetwo screws,
one on each side. Tighten securely.
It will be necessary to brace or support
one side of the outfit when installing the
wheels because the corn pressor will have
a tendency to tip over.
2. Install one shoulder bolt and one nut for each wheel.
Tighten securely. The outfit will sit level if the wheels
are properly installed.
3.
Clean and dry underside of air tank leg opposite
wheels. Remove the protective strip from the adhe-
sive backed molded foot bumpers. Attach the foot
bumpers to the bottom of leg on each end. Press
firmly into place.
INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
Location of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well
ventilated area. The air compressor should be located at
least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that will
interfere with the flow of air. The air com pressor p u mp and
shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. The
ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to
maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags
or other containers on or near these openings.
Lubrication and Oil
This unit needs no lubrication or oiling.
Extension Cords
Use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to avoid
voltage drop and power loss to the motor, and to prevent
overheating.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the product
• in good condition
• no longer than 50 feet
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as
gauge number decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may
also be used. DO NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to your Parts List Manual for the voltage and circuit
protection requirements of your compressor. Use only a
fuse or circuit breaker that is the same rating as the branch
circuit theair compressor is operated on. Ifthecompressor
is connected to
a circuit protected by fuses, use only dual element time
delay fuses, as noted in that Service Bulletin.
