Guidelines for Selecting Mounting Location:The selection of proper mounting location for your air compressor will help ensure a long and trouble freecompressorservicelife.Pleasepay close attention to the following guidelines:

1. Select a FLAT,UPRIGHTANDSECURE location where the compressor can be mounted.2.Tomaximizeaircompressorperformance,locatecompressorasCLOSETOTHEBATTERY as possiblesothatlengthofpositiveleadwirerequiredisataminimum.3. Choose mounting location that is as cool as possible and AWAYFROMHEATSOURCES.
