Installing Wheels, Handle, Rubber Foot Strip
THE WHEELS AND HANDLE DO NOT PRO­
VIDE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE. STABILITY
OR SUPPORT FOR PULLING THE UNIT UP
AND DOWN STAIRS OR STEPS. THE UNIT
MUST BE LIFTED, OR PUSHED UP A RAMP.
1. Attach the handle to the inside of the compressor sad­
dle by pushing the handle in, until the slot in the handle
engages with the tabs in the saddle. Pull the handle
back and install the two screws, one on each side of
the saddle. Tighten securely.
CAUTION
It may be necessary to brace or support one
end of the outfit when attaching the wheels
and the rubber foot strip, because the air
compressor will have a tendency to tip.
2. Remove the protective paper strip from the adhesive
backed rubber foot strip. Attach the rubberfoot strip to
the bottom of the air tank leg. Press firmly into place.
3. Attach one wheel to each side of the air compressor.
Use one shoulder bolt and one nut for each wheel.
Tighten securely.
Installing Regulator
Use a small amount of pipe thread sealant on all pipe
thread joints.
Install the regulator on the end of the manifold using the
short pipe nipple. The arrow on the bottom of the
regulator must point away from the manifold in order for
the regulator to function properly.
Install the adapter and plug in the regulator. The plug is
supplied with the regulator. Install the gauges. See dia­
gram below.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Location of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well venti­
lated area. The air filter must be kept clear of obstruc­
tions which could reduce air delivery of the air
compressor. The air compressor should be located at
least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that
will interfere with the flow of air. The air compressor head
and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. If
humidity is high a Sears air filter can be installed to
remove excessive moisture. Follow the instructions
packaged with the air filter for proper installation.
Lubrication and Oil
This unit needs no additional lubrication or oiling.
Extension Cords
Use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to avoid
voltage drop and power loss to the motor.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on
the product.
• in good condition.
• no longer than 50 feet.
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as
gauge number decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may
also be used. DO NOT USE 14 or 16 AWG.)
