HUMID AREAS
In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in the pump and
produce sludge in the oil, causing running parts to wear out
prematurely. Excessive moisture is especially likely to occur if the unit
is located in an unheated area that is subject to large temperature
changes. Two signs of excessive humidity are external condensation
on the pump when it cools down and a "milky" appearance in
compressor oil. You may be able to prevent moisture from forming in
the pump by increasing ventilation or operating for longer intervals.
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
Consult local officials for information regarding acceptable noise
levels in your area. To reduce excessive noise, use vibration mounts
or silencers, relocate the unit or construct total enclosures or baffle
walls. Contact a D WALT service center or call 1-800-4-D
E
assistance.
