REMOVAL OF SHIPPING BOARDS AND INSTALLATION FOR STATIONARY
It may be necessary to brace or support one side of
the outfit when removing the shipping boards
because the air compressor will have a tendency to
tip.
1. Remove all packaging such that only the compres-
sor on the pallet remains. Remove and discard the
(4) screws and washers that hold the compressor
to the
pallet.
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 compres-
sor. The air compressor should be located at least 12"
away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere
with the flow of fresh intake and cooling air.

Lubrication and Oil

This unit needs no lubrication or oiling.

Grounding Instructions

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In the event of a
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This
air compressor must be properly grounded.
This portable air compressor is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding
plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that has
been installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. The outlet must have the same
configuration as the plug.
Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if
there are signs of damage.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELEC-
TRICAL SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it
does not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet
should be installed by a qualified technician.

2. This compressor is designed to be bolted directly
to a level floor. Prior to installing, place the new
washers which are supplied with the compressor,
between the feet and floor such that the ring base
at the bottom of the tank does not contact the
floor. Tighten bolts 15-20 ft. lbs.
If repairing or replacing cord or plug, the grounding wire
must be kept separate from the current-carrying wires.
Never connect the grounding wire to a flat blade plug
terminal. The grounding wire has insulation with an outer
surface that is green with or without yellow stripes.
If these grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is
properly grounded, have the installation checked by a
qualified electrician.

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to page 5 (Specification Chart) for the voltage
and circuit protection requirements of your compressor.
Use only a fuse or circuit breaker that is the same
rating as the branch circuit the air compressor is
operated on. If the compressor is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use only dual element time delay
fuses.
