OPERATION (con’t.) High Altitude Operation: Due to a decrease in atmospheric pressure air compressor pumps produce less CFM at higher elevations. As a rule of thumb the output will decrease approximately three percent per 1000 feet of elevation. Also, because air at higher elevations is less dense and does not cool as well, electric motors cannot be subjected to the full nameplate service factor amp rating and may need to be upgraded to avoid repeated overheating. -
