Air Compressor Anchoring Methods - DeVilbiss Air Compressor General Manual

If humidity is high, an air filter can be installed to remove
excessive moisture. Closely follow instructions packaged with
the filter for proper installation. It must be installed as close as
possible to the accessory.
The air compressor should be as near to air outlets as possible
in order to avoid long pipe lines. Do not place the air compressor
where heat is excessive.
Do not use an extension cord. To avoid voltage drop and power
loss to the motor, use extra air hose instead of an extension cord.
Low voltage can cause damage to the motor.

VIBRATION CAN WEAKEN THE AIR TANK
AND CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. THE COM-
PRESSOR MUST BE PROPERLY MOUNTED
AS ILLUSTRATED BELOW.
This air compressor must be bolted to the floor. Bolting holes
are provided in the base feet. Mount the air compressor on a
solid, level foundation. Support compressor weight evenly on
all four feet. Solid shims may be used if necessary.

INSTALLATION (cont'd)
Wiring Instructions
Perform electrical wiring according to the following instructions:
Install the compressor outfit as close to the main power supply
as possible. This practice will avoid using long lengths of
electrical wiring for the power supply which can cause power
loss to the motor. When connecting wires make sure that:
1.
2.
Refer to the Specification Chart in the Outfit Parts Manual for
your air compressor outfit.
Wiring must be such that full motor nameplate voltage plus
or minus 10%, is available at the motor terminals during
starting. Refer to local codes for recommended wire sizes for
correct wire size and maximum wire run; undersize wire
causes high amp draw and overheating to the motor.

Do not operate compressor without air filter
assembly installed as this will cause damage to
the compressor.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL GROUNDING CAN
RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
WIRING FOR THE PRESSURE SWITCH AND
ELECTRICAL MOTOR SHOULD BE DONE BY A
LICENSED ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE
WITH NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES AND
ORDINANCES.
The amperage rating of the electrical box is adequate.
The supply line has the same electrical characteristics
(voltage, cycle, and phase) as motor.
NOTE: THESE OUTFITS DO NOT INCLUDE ANY
WIRING BECAUSE OF VARIOUS INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS.
Electrical wiring must be located away from hot
surfaces such as the compressor head, compressor
cylinder, or compressor outlet tube.
