General Lifting Information
1. Carefully inspect all lifting equipment and ensure it is in good condition. The rated capacity of lifting equipment
must exceed compressor weight.
NEVER lift with under sized or damaged equipment.
2. If using lifting equipment, ensure all lifting points are in good condition and tighten any loose nuts or bolts before
lifting. Verify that there are no cracks in the welding points of the slings, of the attachment points or any other
components used for lifting,
3. Ensure the lifting capacity of the equipment is not exceeded by the weight of the combined items being lifted.
4. A sling MUST be used when moving the compressor with a helicopter or other airborne equipment. Be sure to
follow OSHA standards 1910 subpart N.
5. Use guide ropes or equivalent to prevent twisting or swinging of the compressor while it is in the air and NEVER
attempt to lift the unit in high winds. Keep the compressor as low to the ground as possible.
6. Keep everyone away from the compressor when it is lifted. DO NOT allow anyone under the compressor while it is
being lifted.
7. DO NOT use bolts or other hooks on individual components to move the compressor.
8. When moving and or placing the compressor ensure it is on or across a surface that can hold the combined weight
of the compressor and the loading equipment.
9. NEVER store the compressor suspended by its lifting points.
Anchoring
To ensure proper and safe operation of the compressor the unit must be anchored to a flat, smooth surface. Compressors
must be on ¼ inch (6.35mm)
MAXIMUM thick rubber anti-vibration pads.
Truck Installation
You can install the compressor in a truck for convenience and portability. Be sure to follow these additional safety
precautions:
1. Bolt the compressor to the truck bed with rubber isolator pads no more than ¼” (6.35mm) thick under the tank
feet. Thicker padding will INCREASE vibration from the unit and greatly increase the chance of the tank cracking or
other unit damage.
2. Portable compressors must be secured during transport to avoid unit damage.
WARNING: Do NOT operate the unit if damaged during shipping, handling
or use. Damage may result in bursting and may cause injury to persons or
property damage. If the unit is received with damage, please contact
customer support as soon as possible.
