Lifting, Transporting and Preparation
Lifting the Compressor
Crushing/compressor damage hazard. Use approved lifting devices as
necessary within sufficient capacity to lift the compressor safely. Refer
to
General Data for the proper operating weight of the compressor.
Severe injury or death can result if compressor shifts or falls suddenly
during installation procedures.
If the compressor is provided with a lifting bail, then lift by the lifting bail provided. If no lifting
bail is provided, then lift by using forklift either end of compressor (See Figure 2-1).
Inspect lifting bail and points of attachment for cracked welds and for cracked, bent, corroded
or otherwise degraded members and for loose bolts or nuts prior to lifting.
Make sure entire lifting, rigging and supporting structure has been inspected, is in good
condition and has a rated capacity of at least the net weight of the compressor plus an
additional 10% allowance for weight of snow, ice, mud or stored tools and equipment. If you
are unsure of the weight, then weigh compressor before lifting.
Make sure lifting hook has a functional safety latch or equivalent and is fully engaged and
latched on the lifting bail (if equipped) (See Figure 2-1).
Use guide ropes or equivalent to prevent twisting or swinging of the compressor once it has
been lifted clear of ground.
DO NOT attempt to lift in high winds
Keep lift operator in constant attendance whenever compressor is suspended. Keep all
personnel out from under and away from the compressor whenever it is suspended. Lift
compressor no higher than necessary.
Set compressor down only on a level surface capable of supporting at least its new weight
plus an additional 10% allowance for the weight of snow, ice, mud or stored tools and
equipment.
Compressor Mounting
Portable Compressors which are modified to remove the Running Gear and mount the
Compressor directly to Trailers, Truck Beds, or Frames, etc. May experience failure of the
Enclosure, Frame, and/or other Components. It is necessary to isolate the Compressor
package from the Carrier Base with a Flexible Mounting System. Such a system Must also
prevent detachment of the package from the carrier base in the event the Isolators Fail.
Contact your portable power representative for flexible mounting kits.
Warranty does not cover failures attributable to mounting of the Compressor package to the
carrier base unless it is a Portable Power Provided System.
