LOCATION
The tank must sit level or slope slightly
towards the drain cock to allow
the
tank to drain properly.
it is extremely important to install the
compressor
in a clean, well ventilated
area where the surrounding air
temperature
will not be more than
100°F.
A minimum
clearance
of 4 inches
between
the compressor and a wall is
required because object_ could obstruct
