How to Set Up Your 60 Gallon Air Compressor

lets be honest , 99 percent of people who will buy this unit or something similar will leave it on the pallet for 20 years

Had one loved it ..new in 1999..still works in 2022..gave it to my brother..in 2003..

Those "add-ons" that come at additional cost are actually essential components to the compressor and should be sold with it (i.e. vibration damper pads and anchor bolts). If you list it as an initial install kit, then it should come with a filter/dryer and a pressure regulator as well. The only time a customer DOESN'T need them is when he is replacing a compressor in an existing system, but still should replace the damper pads because they do degrade with time and use.

Free info for any passerby: This compressor fits a 2nd gen Ford explorer perfectly (must lay it flat). 1 person can safely unload this compressor in less than 3 minutes. Just keep pulling it out of the SUV until you feel that it wants to drop. Then slant it 45° againt your garage floor, and MAKE SURE THE PALLET BASE DOESN'T SLIP! Grab the top motor by it's ears and just pull it untill the compressor stands straight. It took me 30 seconds to unload the thing alone, and I'm not a bodybuilder :)

Thanks for the information I was able to install my compressor. Suggestion; for the 4 wire 220v part. Don't cap the return just don't connect it inside the plug, since it's only connected to the compressor. That way if another 220v tool needs to be used on the same outlet it can be used safely. Also it doesn't make sense to rewire a box for one item. Yes I saw the shielded cable, and yes it does make sense to do it that way if it's a dedicated system, but the video does not state this. So it would make more sense to use a plug, like in your none dedicated plug instructions. Thanks for the post though it helped. Thumbs up!

Ah yes im sure every home owner uses lockout tagout procedures lol. Its so if your family works in shifts and osha visits your house. 5 inch holes is also laughable. Im sure it will stay put in a hurricane. Best part was the guy drilling the holes clearly went clean through his 4" pad

Excellent video. Thanks.

This video is Helping me in 2021, Thanks Campbell Hausfeld!

Superrr video ,thanks!!!

Installed a new pump, second stage of the break-in procedure is as clear as mud. You think information as valuable as this would be explained in better detail than one paragraph in the installation manual.

Thanks for the video...this video helps me a lot....thankfully again.....👍

I can't believe how crooked that guy drilled the holes in the concrete . I couldn't sleep at night if I did that lol

If you decide to go the receptacle/plug route could you use twist-and-lock connectors for both

@DonutGuard Also, to be fair, I did what somebody else on a forum did and connected the filter before the regulator. So the order is: Shut off valve, Hose, 3/8 connector, air filter, double male 3/8, air pressure regulator, 3/8 to 1/4 reducer, 1/4 connector, tool hose.

Why not a dryer cord?

@campbellhausfeld Thanks for the reply, I actually figured a way to hook it up differently. I went to Harbor Freight Tools, and bought a hose (3 foot length, 3/8 threads) and went from the shut off valve to the regulator using a 3/8 size connector for easy removal, then with a 3/8 double male end, connected the filter to the regulator, and then to a 3/8 to 1/4 reducer and a 1/4 connector directly to the hose. The regulator and filter were mounted to the wall with "Tornado" sheet rock hangers.

I wonder if there's a way to install the regulator and shut off without having it stick out so far... that just looks like it's begging to get pulled on or bumped into.

Not telling the size of pipe and adapter is just part of the game heh

What gauge was the wire from the wall to the compressor . Looked like 8 gauge ? Will it except 6 gauge ? Thank you for the video

Thank your Video,I user new compressor 👍👍👍🌍🌍
