3-9. SITE AND SHELTER REQUIREMENTS.
WARNING
TO ENSURE AS LITTLE AIR CONTAMINATION AS POSSIBLE, THE INTAKE HOSE
MUST BE FULLY EXTENDED AND ALWAYS LOCATED UPWIND OF THE ENGINE
EXHAUST. WHEN THE WIND CHANGES, THE COMPRESSOR AIR INTAKE MUST
BE RELOCATED. THIS ACTION IS IMPERATIVE TO ENSURE THAT AS LITTLE
CONTAMINATED AIR AS POSSIBLE ENTERS THE COMPRESSOR.
The usage site for the compressor should be selected so as to avoid excessive dust, mud, rain, snow, heat, or cold. The
compressor must be kept as level as possible. The compressor must never be operated If it is tilted at an angle in excess
of 15 degrees in any direction. The unit should be mounted on a hard, flat surface from which all gravel, dirt, or other
loose substances have been removed. Avoid the possibility of pickup of trash, stones and so forth by the rapidly rotating
flywheels and V-belt. Ensure all loose trash is removed from the area of the compressor to prevent refuse from entering
the cooling air inlets Ensure compressor is not operated inside closed rooms or buildings. If such operation is mandatory,
connect an extension pipe to engine exhaust and pipe exhaust fumes outside. Ensure the compressor is protected from
rain, wind, snow, dust, and tropical or desert sun. A temporary shelter should be provided by tarpaulins or other means
The maximum utilization of natural shelter such as trees, hills, and rock formations is highly recommended.
