Grouting must be carried out in accordance with the instructions provided by the
grouting supplier. After complete de-aeration of the grouted layer, secure the
base frame by tightening the anchor bolt nuts and remove all adjusting bolts. At
this stage the drive system can be installed. These (accessories) installation
instructions can be found in the order manual.

1.3.5.4 Mounting bare compressor on a concrete block

If base frame is not applied the approximately the same procedure of levelling the
base frame has to be applied for the bare shaft compressor (refer
Section 1.3.5.3, Page 19).
The mounting surfaces of the compressor feet must be level without any
deviation and projecting at least 10 mm above the concrete base.

Warning!

DO NOT ground through the compressor when arc welding

After the compressor (package) has been levelled and secured to the foundation,
the system piping may be connected. The suction line(s) and discharge line(s)
should be installed and supported such that there is no load exerted on the
compressor. The size and location of the suction and discharge connections, can
