Important
READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
The location where the compressor is installed determines to a considerable extent the overall performance and
service life of the unit.
The compressor should be located in an area that is dry and sheltered, well ventilated, not exposed to
high ambient temperatures and air borne contaminants such as dust,fumes, lint, vapor, steam, gases,
engine exhaus, etc.
Install the compressor with a minimum of advised clearance between adjacent surfaces, to insure adequate
cooling and access for service. You can find the necessary information about the clearances on the pictures
below.
Locate the compressor on a smooth surface of sufficient strength to support the static weight of the
equipment, as well as the dynamic forces resulting from its operation ( preferably on 6’’ (150 mm) thick
concrete floor)
