1.
Place tank feet on 1/4” thick rubber pads. Thicker padding will increase vibration and the possibility of
cracking the tank or other unit damage.
Do not place unit on dirt floor or uneven surface.
2. Fasten anchor bolts snugly but do not overtighten so normal vibration will not damage unit.
3. Use a flexible connector between compressor tank and piping system to minimize noise, vibration, unit
damage, and pump wear.
4. Install appropriate ASME code safety valves and make sure piping system is equipped with adequate
condensate drains. See figure 2. Refer to figure 3 for recommended closed loop installation.
5. Make sure any tube, pipe or hose connected to the unit can withstand operating temperatures and retain
pressure.
6. Never use reducers in discharge piping. Keep all piping and fittings the same size in the piping system.
Never install a shut-off valve such as a glove or gate valve, between the
pump discharge and the air tank unless a safety valve is installed in
the line between valve and pump.
DANGER
Compressor unit is top heavy and must be bolted to solid, flat surface
to avoid falling and premature pump wear. Splash lubrication will not
operate properly if unit is not level.
Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed air. Serious injury or
death could result.
