Notes
•
Installation and start-up operation must only be carried out by trained personnel. Gardner Denver will not be liable for
warranty claims caused by operator error.
•
The machine is delivered ready for connection.
•
Please make sure that the rotor shaft can be turned by hand; if not, contact our service department.
•
The machine should only be lifted by means of the securely fitted eye bolts.
5.1 Installation Location and Attachment
The installation location on the vehicle must:
•
be easily accessible,
•
be protected from dirt, flying debris and water splash,
•
provide enough clearance for the connection of the suction and pressure pipes,
•
provide easy access for maintenance (e.g. oil filler cap).
The machine is mounted by means of the 4 feet (screw thread M12) on the bottom.
The drive shaft of the compressor/vacuum pump must be mounted horizontally (maximum permitted deviation when the vehicle is
stationary: 5°).
The compressor/vacuum pump can be rotated a maximum of 90° around the longitudinal axis. The oil tank must be disconnected
and turned so that the filler cap is at the top and the oil pickup at the bottom. It may be necessary to use a different oil intake
suction pipe.
If help is needed to adapt the installation of the machine, please contact our service department.
Mounting brackets on the vehicle chassis must be strong enough to support the machine, pipework and any ancillaries; thin
profiles should not be used.
For dimensions and weights, see section 3 .
