FOUNDATION - The rotary screw compressor requires no special foundation, but should be mounted on
a smooth, solid surface. Whenever possible install the unit near level. Temporary installation may be
made at a maximum 5
°
angle lengthwise or 5
°
sidewise. Mounting bolts are not normally required.
However, installation conditions such as piping rigidity, angle of tilt, or danger of shifting from outside
vibration or moving vehicles may require the use of mounting bolts and shims to provide uniform support
for the base. Belt alignment and tension should be checked after installation. (For information on belt
alignment and tension, see SECTION 7, page 37.
OIL RESERVOIR DRAIN - The oil drain is piped from the bottom of the reservoir to the side of the frame.
This drain is approximately 20 inches above the floor level.
