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
insta[led. 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.
