Installation
7.2.1
Corrosion Resistance
• The compressor unit is not resistant to the corrosion caused by exposure to seawater.
• After operation in a salt air environment the unit should be sprayed with anticorrosion protection
(E.G. Quicksilver Corrosion Guard).
• All Junior II WT units should be operated in an area with sufficient ventilation and stored below
decks after operation
7.2.2
Outdoor Location
1. Locate the unit so it is level.
2. Locate the unit so that the prevailing wind blows any exhaust fumes away from the unit.
3. Reposition the intake as soon as the wind direction changes.
4. Allow no vehicles to be in the direct vicinity of the intake while their engines are running.
5. Do not operate the unit in the vicinity of an open fire or combustion type heater.
6. Immediately after start-up check rotation direction for agreement with arrow on the compressor unit
7.2.3
Indoor Location
1. Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air
2. This air must be free of exhaust fumes and hazardous vapors (e.g. smoke, solvents, etc.).
3. If possible install the unit so that the compressor cooling fan can get fresh air from the outside, for
instance through an opening in the wall.
4. Ensure that an adequate exhaust air opening is provided.
5. When locating the compressor in a small room where natural ventilation is not ensured, positive
measures must be taken to provide artificial ventilation.(This also applies when other items with
high temperatures operating in the same room
6. Immediately after start-up check rotation direction for agreement with arrow on the compressor unit
