temperature changes. Two signs of excessive humidity are external
condensation on the pump when it cools down and a “milky”
appearance in compressor oil. You may be able to prevent
moisture from forming in the 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
e WALT service center or
call 1-888-895
- 4549 for assistance.
Anchoring of the Air Compressor
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Excessive vibration can weaken the
air tank and cause an explosion. The compressor must be properly
mounted.
The air compressor MUST be bolted to a level, solid concrete
surface. Use 3/8” lag screws, vibration pads and concrete
anchors. If help is needed anchoring the air compressor consult
a licensed contractor.

1. Place the air
compressor on a
level, solid concrete
surface. Make sure
the concrete is in
good condition
with no cracks or
damage.
2. Mark the surface
using the holes in
the air compressor feet as a template.
3. Drill holes in the surface for the concrete anchors. Install
concrete anchors.
4. Line-up holes in surface with holes in air compressor feet.
5. Place the vibration pads (not supplied) between the floor and
air compressor feet, see figure. If needed use shims to level
the unit.
6. Place the 3/8” lag screws through the air compressor feet,
vibration pads and into the anchors.
7. Torque 3/8” lag screws to 7-10 ft.-lbs (9.5-13.5 Nm).
Wiring Instructions
WARNING: Improper electrical installation of this product
may void its warranty and your fire insurance. Have circuit wiring
performed by qualified personnel such as a licensed electrician who
is familiar with the current national electrical code and any prevailing
local electrical codes.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Improper electrical grounding
can result in electrical shock. The wiring should be done by a
qualified electrician.
A qualified electrician needs to knows the following before wiring:
1. The amperage rating of the electrical box should be adequate.
Refer to the air compressor's serial label for the unit's voltage
and amperage requirements.
2. The supply line should have the same electrical characteristics
(voltage, cycle, phase) as the motor. Refer to the motor
nameplate, on side of motor, for this information.
NOTE: The wiring used must be rated for the motor nameplate
voltage, plus or minus 10%. Refer to local codes for recommended
wire sizes, correct wire size, and maximum wire run; undersize wire
