For continuous efficiency, oil cooler cores must be periodically cleaned with either vacuum or compressed
air. If wet cleaning is required, shield motor and spray on a mild soap solution and flush with clean water.
NOTICE
Coolers are aluminum; do not use any cleaning solution that is not compatible
with aluminum. Use of improper solution may result in damage to the cooler.

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 58.
OIL RESERVOIR DRAIN - The oil drain is piped from the bottom of the reservoir to the side of the frame.
This drain is approximately 6.5 inches above the floor level, on base mounted package.
