Bolting legs to a stiff surface can
cause tank rupture resulting in serious
injury or damage. Do not permanently
mount compressor to any surface with-
out using the vibration mount kit.
Portable compressor outfits may be permanently
mounted in one locationsuch as a truck bed, ifde-
sired. A vibration mount kit is included with the outfit
for this purpose.
1. In order to maintain adequate ventilation for
compressorcooling and to avoidcontactwith
pick-up truck bed, always mount the outfit at
least 8 inches from any vertical wall. Using the
holes in the airtank support legs as a guide,
mark and drill four 5/16 inch diameter holes in
the mounting surface.
To prevent excessive vibration which
may cause tank rupture or explosion,
never remove the engine stiffener bar
or increase the engine RPM. Make
sure the engine bolts and stiffener bar
nuts are tight. Do not operate the outfit
if the rubber feet are not attached.
3. Set the outfitontop of the vibrationmounts
(theexposed threaded ends) and secure
each mount to the air tank legs with lock
washer and nut.
