Description
Air compressor units are intended to provide compressed air to power pneumatic
tools, operate spray guns and supply air for pneumatic valves and actuators. The
pumps supplied with these units have oil lubricated bearings. A small amount of oil
carryover is present in the compressed air stream. Applications requiring air free of
oil vapor should have the appropriate filter installed. The air compressor units are to
be mounted per the instructions provided on a solid floor. Any other use of these
units will void the warranty and the manufacturer will not be responsible for prob-
lems or damages resulting from such misuse. Refer to the enclosed "Replacement
Parts Manual" to identify compressor as single stage or two-stage.
