LUBRICATION
INTAKE FILTER
Thread the intake air filter into the threaded opening in the side of
the compressor head as illustrated in Figure 4. Tighten gently with a wrench.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
It is extremely important to install the compressor in a clean,
well ventilated area where the surrounding air temperature
will not be more than 100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches between the compressor
and a wall is required because objects could obstruct air flow.
CAUTION
Do not locate the compressor air inlet
near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas or any other
source of contamination. This debris will damage the motor.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
WARNING
All wiring and electrical connections
should be performed by a qualifi ed electrician.
Installation must be in accordance with local codes and
national electrical codes.
WIRING
1. Local electrical wiring codes differ from area to area.
Source wiring, plug and protector must be rated for at
least the amperage and voltage indicated on motor
nameplate, and meet all electrical codes for this
minimum.

2. Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit breaker.
3. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. This product must be
grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electrical shock by providing
an escape wire for electric current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. Plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
CAUTION
Overheating, short circuiting and fi re
damage will result from inadequate wiring.
