INSTALLATION

LOCATION OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR

Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well ventilated area.

Located the air compressor at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the wall or

other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.

Locate the air compressor as close to the main power supply as possible to

avoid using long lengths of electrical wiring.

NOTE: Long lengths of electrical

wiring could cause power loss to the motor.

The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air flow

to the air compressor.
