Danger

The weight carrying capacity of the foundation
has to be taken into account when installing the
compressor.

Provide for a solid and plane base.

The system may not be operated on the transport
pallet.

The intakes are to be located so that no
hazardous constituent (solvent vapour, etc., but
also dusts and other hazardous material) can be
sucked in. This applies also to flying sparks.

Pipes and/or other parts with a surface
temperature higher than 70 °C/158 °F have to be
suitably identified and secured against
touching.
See also the safety regulations in chapter 3 of the
operating instructions.
Important
The operator has to provide adequate ventilation for
the compressor station.
The screw compressor unit has to be levelled. A
minimum distance from walls, other machines, etc.
should be maintained so that there is sufficient
clearance for maintenance and repair work (Fig. 7).
During operation of the screw compressor unit, heat is
generated by the electric motor and the compression
process. The screw compressor radiates a part of this
heat into the surroundings.
Proper ventilation has a considerable effect on the
service life and the performance of a compressor.
