Select a Location
Keep the following in mind when selecting a location:
•
Clearance . You must have adequate space on all sides and above. See Clearance for more
information. Make sure the Compressor is at least 3.3 feet / 1 meter from a wall or corner, with at
least 3.3 feet / 1 meter of open space
above the unit (for good air circulation).
•
Floor
. Install your Compressor on a flat, dry concrete floor.
• Power . You will need a 208–240 VAC power source available near the Compressor. Use a 60
amp or greater fuse and 6 AWG wire.
•
Operating temperature
. The Compressor is designed to be used between temperatures of
41º to 104ºF (5º to 40ºC).
• Second floor installs . Do not install the Compressor on a second floor or elevated floor without
first consulting the building architect and getting their permission.
• Indoor installation . Your Compressor works best with clean, dry air, which is found indoors . If
you install the Compressor outdoors, the air is wetter and dirtier; outside air
must
be filtered
before it can be used with the Compressor.
•
Ventilation
. Install the Compressor in a well-ventilated area, away from sources of contamination
such as dirt or dust. You do not want the Compressor pulling in the same air that just came out of
it; that air is hot and dirty, not suitable for air intake. Installing the Compressor in a dust-filled
environment is not acceptable; it will damage the Compressor and it voids your warranty.
⚠
DANGER The pressurized air generated by the Compressor is
not
human breathable when it
leaves the Compressor. If you want it to be human breathable, additional
equipment is
required
. Refer to the current version of the Compressed Gas
Association (CGA, an ANSI-approved standards developing organization) for
information about what is required for human breathable air.
