Description
Air compressor units are intended to
provide compressed air to power pneu-
matic tools, operate spray guns and sup-
ply air for pneumatic valves and actua-
tors. The pumps supplied with these
units have oil lubricated bearings. A
small amount of oil carryover is present
in the compressed air stream.
Applications requiring air free of oil
vapor should have the appropriate filter
installed. The air compressor units are to
be mounted per the instructions provid-
ed on a solid floor. Any other use of
these units will void the warranty and
the manufacturer will not be responsi-
ble for problems or damages resulting
from such misuse. Refer to the enclosed
"Replacement Parts Manual" to identify
compressor as single stage or two-stage.
