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.
