HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT
Location of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well
•
ventilated area.
Located the air compressor at least 12" away
•
from the wall or other obstructions that will inter-
fere 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.
Anchoring of the Air Compressor
cause an explosion. The compressor must be
properly mounted.
The air compressor MUST be bolted to a solid, level
surface.
Hardware needed:
4 - Concrete anchors
4 - 3/8" Lag screw to fit concrete anchors
(not supplied)
4 - 5/8" Washer (found in parts bag)
shims (if needed)
1. Place the air compressor on on a solid, level sur-
face.
2. Mark the surface using the holes in the air com-
pressor feet as a template.
3. Drill holes in the surface for the concrete anchors.
Install concrete anchors.
4. Line-up holes in surface with holes in air com-
pressor feet.
5. Place the (4) washers (supplied) between the floor
and air compressor feet. If needed, solid shims
may be placed between the washers and floor to
evenly distribute weight on all four feet. See next
figure.

6. Place the (4) 3/8" lag screws through the air com-
pressor feet, washers, shims, and into the
anchors.
7. Torque 3/8" lag screws to 15-20 ft.-lbs.
Wiring Instructions
trical grounding can result in electrical
shock. The wiring should be done by a
qualified electrician
A qualified electrician needs to knows the following
before wiring:
1. The amperage rating of the electrical box is ade-
quate. Refer to the Specification Chart, in the
parts manual, for this information.
2. The supply line has the same electrical character-
istics (voltage-240, cycle-60, phase-1) as the
motor. Refer to the motor nameplate, on side of
motor, for this information. NOTE: The wiring
must be the same as the motor nameplate volt-
age plus or minus 10%. Refer to local codes for
recommended wire sizes, correct wire size, and
maximum wire run; undersize wire causes high
amp draw and overheating to the motor.
hot surfaces such as manifold assembly,
compressor outlet tubes, heads, or cylin-
ders.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Parts Manual for the voltage and mini-
mum branch circuit requirements.
Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp
circuit if the following conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply through branch circuit is 15 amps.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical
needs (lights, appliances, etc.).
3. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker
or 15 amp time delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor
is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use
only time delay fuses marked "D".
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if
operation of the compressor repeatedly causes inter-
ruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it
from a 20 amp circuit.
