positioned not less than 30 inches and not more than 40 inches from the floor. The storage rack
shall hold the air hose specified in 3.9. The storage rack shall be located so that the hose when
stored on the rack, will not contact any component of the compressor subject to high
temperature.
3.24 Class 4, trailer mounted. The class 4 air compressor shall be mounted on a trailer as
specified in MIL-C-52437, class CCE, size 3. The CCE trailer chassis shall be equipped with a

5.9.11.4.1 (see 3.7.2.).
3.24.4 Storage rack. A storage rack shall be furnished and installed on each compressor for
wrapping or looping the air hose when not in use. The rack shall be installed on the compressor
