Provide a vibration-absorbing
mat if the foundation is
vibrative. If it is too vibrative,
look for another dequate

Maintenance Space
■
Install the air compressor in a dry and dust-free room, and avoid the following.
■
Install the air compressor on a level floor.
■
Do not install the air compressor near a wall.
Doing this may cause the operating noise
to resonate and increase the noise levels.
Raindrops, Basements, Steam
Metals, Sand, Other Hard Materials
Harmful Gases
Causes electric leak, generation of
drain/rust, microcomputer malfunction.
To ensure an appropriate amount of oil
To prevent noise and vibration
Do not set the air
compressor on blocks.
Causes motor insulation failure, bearing
damage, microcomputer malfunction.
Causes deterioration of oil, wear of cooler,
detachment of coating from rotor surface.
Prohibited
WARNING
1. Keep flammable solvents or any other hazardous chemicals away from the air compressor. Such
chemicals may be ingested into the air compressor and could cause an explosion during the
compression process.
2. Do not use fire near the air compressor; otherwise the sparks may enter the airend and burn it internally.
CAUTION
●
Install the air compressor indoors. Installing it outdoors may lead to damage of the airend due to
water vapor, dust, etc.
●
The air compressor installation room should have an air intake opening, an air exhaust opening and
have good ventilation. If the room is poorly ventilated, hot air exhausted by the air compressor may
cause the room temperature to rise excessively and lead to damage of the air compressor.
Toxic gases such as chlorine gas, hydrogen
sulfide gas, sulfurous acid gas, high consistency
ozone, ammonia gas
