THE WHEELS AND HANDLE DO NOT
PROVIED ADEQUATE CLEARANCE, STABIL-
ITY OR SUPPORT FOR PULLING THE UNIT
UP AND DOWN STAIRS OR STEPS. THE
UNIT MUST BE LIFTED OR PUSHED UP A

Put one set screw through hole in one side of tank
saddle and tighten down on handle.
It may be necessary to brace or support
one end of the outfit when attaching the
wheels and the foot extension bracket
because the air compressor will have a
tendency to tip before both wheels are
assembled.

2. Attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the foot
extension bracket. Attach foot extension bracket to
the air tank bracket. Use one cap screw, one lock
washer, and one hex nut at each end. Tighten.
3. The leg bracket on the underside of the air
compressor tank has 2 holes on each side for
mounting the wheels. Place one shoulder bolt through
the hole in a wheel. Next, push the bolt through the
LOWER hole of the leg bracket and screw on one
hex locking nut. The special locking nut does not turn
freely. Tighten the nut firmly until it contacts the tank
leg. See pg. 16. The outfit will sit level if the wheels
are properly installed.
4. Apply teflon tape to the tapered pipe threads on
the adapter and tighten into the manifold. Install the
swivel connection end of the shut-off valve to the
straight threaded end of the adapter (pipe sealant is
not required) and tighten this connection. See photo
below.
5. Attach the spark plug wire to the spark plug.
Operate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well
ventilated area. The air intake filter must be kept clear
of obstructions which could reduce air delivery of the air
compressor. The air compressor should be located at
least 12" away from walls or other obstructions that
could interfere with the flow of air through the fan bladed
flywheel. The air compressor crankcase and head are
designed with fins to provide proper cooling, if humidity
is high, Sears air filter can be installed to remove
excessive moisture. Closely follow the instructions pack-
aged with the filter for proper installation.
