3. INSTALLATION
During the assembly, check that no foreign body penetrates
into the compressor. The piping inlet and outlet must be per-
fectly clean.
Any foreign body risks to damage seriously the compressor.
All the fixation points availables must be used.
The presence of foreign bodies in the compressor inlet
channel is susceptible of leading to serious property
damage or serious injuries.
3.1 Mounting location
The compressor must be installed in a location where it
is easily accessible. In particular, check that the oil filling
plug , the magnetic plugs and the filter are accessible.
Choose a location where the compressor is relatively
protected from gravel projections and road spray as well
as exhaust fumes and engine heat. When the compres-
sor is directly driven by universal joints, it will be installed
between the chassis side members. In other cases, it
can be installed either between the side members or
beside the chassis side. The compressor may be installed
with a small angle, but please ensure not to exceed the
angular values set out in the diagrams below.
If the compressor is to be painted, use high temperature
resistant paint.
3.2 Fixations
3.2.1 Install lateral plate
3.2.2 Install U
NOTA
:
3 possible positions (position 2 shown).
The compressor must be fixed on one side or the other
using the 3 bosses.
The 3 ØM16 threads must be free of grease, paint, oxi-
dation, etc. Retap if necessary.
Use quality 8.8 screws fitted with Nord-Lock type steel
washers.
The screws which must have an implantation of ~ 20 mm
in the threads must be tightened to a torque of 120 Nm
using a torque wrench.
Finally, make sure that the side plate is perfectly clam-
ped, meaning that the screws are not against the bottom
of the threads.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
During operation, the tem-
perature of the surface of a
compressor and nearby
parts can be in the region
of 200°C.
The compressor and the
parts located nearby are
thus susceptible of provo-
king serious burns and pro-
perty damage.
Be careful to not approach
elements that are sensitive
to heat and affix plates
informing users that the
compressor is hot, to pre-
vent any risk of burns.
