SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
1. Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris which may
be harmful. Release air slowly when draining moisture or
depressurizing the compressor system.
2. Do not spray flammable materials in vicinity of open flame
or near ignition sources including the compressor unit. Do
not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides, or other
flammable substances.
3. Use a face mask/respirator when spraying and spray in a
well ventilated area to prevent health and fire hazards.
4. Do not direct paint or other sprayed material at the
compressor. Locate compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to minimize overspray
accumulation on the compressor.
5. When spraying or cleaning with solvents or toxic
chemicals, follow the instructions provided by the chemical
manufacturer.
INSTALLATION
Disconnect, tag and lock out power source then release all
pressure from the system before attempting to install,
service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
Do not lift or move unit without appropriately rated
equipment. Be sure the unit is securely attached to lifting
device used.
Do not lift unit by holding onto tubes or coolers.
Never use the wood shipping skids for mounting the
compressor.
Install and operate unit at least 24” from any obstructions in
a clean, well ventilated area. The surrounding air
temperature should not exceed 100* F. This will ensure
an unobstructed flow of air to cool compressor and allow
adequate space for maintenance.
Do not locate the compressor air inlet near steam, paint
spray, sandblast areas or any other source of
contamination.
NOTE: If compressor operates in a hot, moist environment,
supply compressor pump with clean, dry outside air. Supply
air should be piped in from external sources.
TANK MOUNTING
The tank should be bolted into a flat, even, concrete floor
or on a separate concrete foundation. Anti-vibration pads
should be used between the tank leg and the floor. When
using anti-vibration pads, do not draw bolts tight. Allow
the pads to absorb vibrations. When isolators are used, a
flexible hose or coupling should be installed between the
tank and service piping.
Failure to properly install the tank can lead to cracks at the
welded joints and possible bursting.
The compressor must be properly mounted to a concrete
floor as illustrated. Bolting holes are provided in the base
feet. Mount the air compressor on a solid, level foundation.
Support air compressor weight evenly on all four feet. Solid
shims may be used if necessary.
PIPING
Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed air. Serious
injury or death could result.
Any tube, pipe or hose connected to the unit must be able to
withstand the temperature generated and retain the pressure.
All pressurized components of the air system, tube, pipe or
hose must have a pressure rating higher than or equal to 200
psi or bursting could result and injury occur.
