INSTALLATION
Before installing your machine, check that its air output is sufficient for the
equipment to be used. The air output from the compressor must be more than the
volume of air required. We recommend the following:
1.
Firm and level site, and the use of floor mountings for stationary compressors -
anti-vibration pads. (Do not bolt machines directly to the floor).
2.
Dust and damp free environment.
3.
Adequate ventilation for:-
a)
Air intake to compressor pump (in order to draw in clean air).
b)
Cooling to compressor pump, engine or electric motor.
c)
Engine exhaust gases.
4.
Do not operate compressor in the vicinity of combustible materials.
5.
To allow sufficient access for servicing, a minimum clearance of 500mm must
be allowed around the machine.
6.
The power cable from the main supply must be large enough to carry the
starting and running load of the electric motor. This is particularly relevant if
the compressor is some distance from the source of supply.
7.
Electrical installations should be completed by a qualified electrician.
8.
Electrical connection to the mains supply must be via a suitably fused (see
table below) approved plug or isolator (allowing sufficient capacity for motor
starting). If using a circuit breaker in place off uses, ensure it is Motor Rated
and of sufficient size to allow for motor starting.
9.
Compressors should be connected to mains electricity supply via an earth
leakage protection device (RCD), particularly if used outdoors.
