The Compressor must not be operated in
a confined area where the heat from the
Unit cannot readily escape.
Installation – Mechanical
Moving of the Unit
When moving the Air Compressor, the
forklift or hand lift forks go under the Unit
from the directions as indicated.
Please be advised that care must be taken
when moving and positioning the Units as
they are top heavy.
Location of the Unit
Items to consider when installing the Unit are as
follows:
The Unit must be located indoors, in a dry, clean,
cool, dust free, and well ventilated area. If
possible, the Compressor should be located in
a separate room or area, away from the
general operations of the shop.
Allow approximately a minimum of 18” (458mm)
around and 3 feet (915mm) above the Unit for
easy access to the various sides, this being for
both the proper ventilation of the Unit and ease
of servicing.
Ensure that the floor under the Unit is smooth,
level and capable of bearing the weight of the
Compressor. The Compressor must sit
squarely on the floor.
Ensure that the Unit is anchored to the floor using
isolator pads.
If installed in a compressor room, ensure that the
room is adequately ventilated. (One
Horsepower produces approximately 2500
BTU/HR.)
The ambient temperature should be between
10°C and 40°C (50°F to 104°F).
If installing the Unit on a mezzanine, ensure that
the structure can safely support the weight of
the Unit. As well, the sound level of the Unit
may increase due to the harmonics created by
the structure; use Vibration Pads to lessen this.
When anchoring the Unit, ensure that there is
approx.. ¼” (0.75cm) between the Nut and the
Compressor Foot (as shown below). Do not
bolt down tightly.
Many common Compressor problems can be
attributed to the location or installation of the Unit.
Make sure the Unit is in a suitable location, and
installed correctly.
