3. To provide proper ventilation for cooling, the compressor must be kept a

minimum of 12 inches (31 cm) from the nearest wall, in a well–ventilated area.

4. To prevent damage to tank and compressor on stationary models, the tank

must be shimmed so the pump base is level within 1/8" to distribute oil properly.

All feet must be supported, shimming where necessary, prior to attaching to the

floor. Fasten all feet to floor. We also recommend the use of vibration pads (094-

0137) under tank feet.

5. Fasten the compressor down securely if transporting is necessary. Pressure

must be released from the tank before transporting.

6. Protect the air hose from damage and puncture. Inspect them weekly for weak

or worn spots, and replace if necessary.

7. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store indoors.

BASIC AIR COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS

The basic components of the air compressor are

the electric motor, pump, pressure switch and

tank (see Fig. 1). The tank may be vertical or

horizontal, varying in size and capacity.

The electric motor (see A) powers the pump.

The electric motor is equipped with an overload

protector to help prevent possible motor burnout.

If the motor becomes overheated, the overload

protector will shut it down. Should this occur,

allow the motor to cool for 10-15 minutes, then

press (never force) the motor reset switch to

restart the motor.

The pump (see B) compresses the air and

discharges it into the tank.

The tank (see C) stores the compressed air.

The pressure switch (see D) shuts down the

motor and relieves air pressure in the pump and

transfer tube when the air pressure in the tank

reaches the kick–out pressure. As compressed air

is used and the pressure level in the tank drops to

the kick–in pressure, the pressure switch restarts

the motor automatically, without warning and the

pump resumes compressing air.

The air line outlet (see E). Connect 1/4" NPT air hose to this outlet.
