Anchoring of the air
compressor (Figure 3)
WARNING: Risk of bursting.
Excessive vibration can
weaken the air tank and
cause an explosion. The
compressor must be properly
mounted.
The air compressor MUST be bolted to a level,
solid concrete surface. Use 3/8” lag screws,
washers (supplied) and concrete anchors. If
help is needed anchoring the air compressor
consult a licensed contractor.
1. Place the air compressor on a level,
solid concrete surface. Make sure the
concrete is in good condition with no
cracks or damage.
2. Mark the surface using the holes in the
air compressor feet (J) as a template.
3. Drill holes in the surface for the concrete
anchors. Install concrete anchors (BB).

Breaking in the pump
NOTICE: Risk of property
damage. Serious damage may
result if the following break-
in instructions are not closely
followed.
This procedure is required
before
the air
compressor is put into service and when the
check valve or a complete compressor pump
has been replaced.
1. Make sure the Auto/Off switch (A) is in
the “Off” position.
2. Check oil level in pump. See
Oil
paragraph in the
Maintenance
section for instructions.
3. Recheck all wiring. Make sure wires
are secure at all terminals connections.
Make sure all contacts move freely and
are not obstructed.
4. Open the drain valve (F) fully to permit
air to escape and prevent air pressure
build up in the air tank during the
break-in period.
Assembly (continued)
4. Line-up holes in surface with holes in
air compressor feet (J).
5. Place the washers (AA, supplied)
between the floor and air compressor
feet, see figure. If needed use shims
(DD) to level the unit.
6. Place the 3/8” lag screws (CC) through
the air compressor feet (J), washers
(AA) and into the anchors (BB).
7. Torque 3/8” lag screws to 7-10 ft.-lbs
(9.5-13.5 Nm).

5. Move the Auto/Off switch (A) to “Auto”
position. The compressor will start.
6. Run the air compressor for 20 minutes.
Make sure the drain valve and all
air lines are open so there is only a
minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
7. Check all air line fittings and
connections/piping for air leaks by
applying a soap solution. Correct if
necessary.
NOTICE:
Minor leaks can
cause the air compressor to
overwork, resulting in premature
breakdown or inadequate
performance.
8. Check for excessive vibration. Readjust
or shim air compressor feet, if
necessary.
9. After 20 minutes, close the drain valve.
The air receiver will fill to “cut-out”
pressure and the motor will stop.
The air compressor is now ready for use.
