Safety Steps
1. Install compressor in a clean, well ventilated and well lit area. Make sure air inlet is away from exhaust fumes
or other toxic, noxious or corrosive fumes or substances. Installation area must maintain low relative
humidity and a temperature range between 35o – 110 o F (2o – 43 o C). This unit must be kept under roof
and away from rain, snow, etc.
2. Clearances around compressor. At least:
• 36 inches sides and back
• 3 feet in front of compressor.
3. Make sure compressor base is on a hard, flat surface
and anchored securely.
4. If installation is above the first story of a building, use
appropriate vibration insulation.
1. Install appropriate flow-limiting valves as necessary, according to pipe size(s) and run lengths. This reduces
pressure in case of hose failure, per OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.302(b)(7).
2. Flow-limiting valves are listed by pipe size and rated CFM. Select appropriate valves accordingly, in accordance
with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
3. Do not install check valve as compressor has internal check valve.
Installation
Area
Piping
Exhaust air from this unit can be used to supplement environment heat. Install unit in separate room then create duct
system as shown in figure 3.
In environments where fine dust is common, such as granite or concrete
plants, the compressor MUST be installed in a separate area
with dedicated ventilation.
Failure to provide dust free operating area
voids the warranty.
This compressor unit is equipped with internal
rubber vibration isolators. To avoid internal pump
damage,
DO NOT
use an additional rubber
mounting surface when installing compressor.
Tank Sizing Guideline: Tank capacity must be
at least 1.2 gallons (5.3 L.) for every CFM of air
produced by compressor. This eliminates wear on
internal pump parts.
