Location

CAUTION: In order to avoid damaging the air compressor, do not

allow the unit to be tilted more than 10˚ when operating.

Place air compressor at least 3 feet away from obstacles that may

prevent proper ventilation. Keep unit away from areas that have dirt,

vapor and volatile fumes in the atmosphere which may clog and gum

up the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient operation.

HUMID AREAS

In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in the bare pump and

produce sludge in the lubricant, 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 bare pump when it cools down and a “milky” appearance in

compressor lubricant. You may be able to prevent moisture from

forming in the bare 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

EWALT service center or call 1-800-4DEWALT for

assistance.

TRANSPORTING:

WARNING: Unit weighs more than 160 lbs. Do not move or lift

without assistance.

When transporting the compressor in a vehicle, trailer, etc. ensure that

the tanks are drained and the unit is secured and placed on a flat

horizontal surface. Use care when driving so to avoid tipping the unit

over in the vehicle. Damage can occur to the unit or surrounding items

if unit is tipped. Use a ramp if loading or unloading the unit from a

height of more than 12".

MOVING:

When moving the unit into a position for use, grasp handle grips at rear

of compressor, and lift compressor high enough so unit can be rolled

on the front tire.

WARNING: Ensure proper footing and use caution when rolling

compressor so that unit does not tip or cause loss of balance.

When location is reached slowly lower rear of compressor to ground.

ALWAYS STORE COMPRESSOR IN A HORIZONTAL POSITION,

ON ALL FOUR RUBBER MOUNTS.

NOTE: Should the unit tip over, hard starting and smoking will occur

due to oil spillage.

Air Inlet Filter

CAUTION: Do not operate without air inlet filter

General Requirements

The piping, fittings, receiver tank, etc. must be certified safe for at

least the maximum working pressure of the unit. Use hard welded or

threaded steel or copper pipes, cast iron fittings and hoses that are

certified safe for the units discharge pressure and temperature. Use

pipe thread sealant on all threads, and tighten joints thoroughly to

prevent air leaks. DO NOT USE PVC PLASTIC.

CONDENSATE DISCHARGE PIPING

If installing a condensate discharge line, the piping must be at least one

size larger than the connection, as short and direct as possible,

secured tightly and routed to a suitable drain point. Condensate must

be disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal laws and

regulations.

NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that

accumulates in any drain point (e.g. tanks, filter, aftercoolers, dryers).

This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances which may

be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state,

and federal laws and regulations.
