ASSEMBLING THE COMPRESSOR
The air compressor should be turned off, unplugged from the power source, the
air bled from the tank and the unit allowed time to cool before any maintenance
is performed. Personal injuries could occur from moving parts, electrical sources,
compressed air or hot surfaces. The quick connect assembly must be attached
before use. Failure to assemble correctly could result in leaks and possible injury.
If unsure of assembly instructions or you experience difficulty in the assembly please
call your local service department for further information.
1. Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the unit has been
damaged in transit, contact the carrier and complete a damage claim. Do this i
mmediately because there are time limitations to damage claims.
2. Check the compressor’s serial label to ensure that you have received the model
ordered, and that it has the required pressure rating for its intended use.
3. Locate the compressor according to the following guidelines:
a. Position the compressor near a grounded electrical outlet.
b. The compressor must be at least 12 inches (31 cm) from any wall or
obstruction, in a clean, well-ventilated area, to ensure sufficient air flow and
cooling.
c. In cold climates, store portable compressors in a heated building when
not in use. This will reduce problems with motor starting and freezing of
water condensation.
d. Remove the compressor from the carton and place it on the floor or a hard,
level surface. The compressor must be level to ensure proper drainage of
the moisture in the tank.
