GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
As the owner of a new Omega Air Compressor Unit, it is your responsibility to ensure it is installed correctly, as well as
maintained and serviced on a regular basis. Information has been included in this booklet outlining the suggested air
compressor maintenance schedules and a trouble shooting guide. It is important that you read this information and
keep it in a safe place for future reference.
INSTALLATION - MECHANICAL
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated sized area that allows for room temperature under 38 degress Celsius (Ideal
temperature range would be between 15 to 25 degrees Celsius). The air compressor should be located 12 to 18 inches away from walls or
any other obstruction that would interfere with the air flow through the pump flywheel. If possible, the air compressor should be located
in a separate room or area with an air intake or fan positioned on an outside wall for maximum air flow and cooling. The air compressor is
designed with heat dissipation fins that allow for proper cooling. Keep the fins and other components clean. A clean compressor runs
cooler and provides longer service. Allow room for easy access to the air compressor for maintenance and service work.
For permanent installation, the compressor may be bolted to the fl oor through holes provided in the compressor feet.
Shims and vibration isolators or vibration pads must be used to level the compressor before bolting it to the fl oor.
Severe vibration will result when the compressor is bolted down tightly and the feet are not level. This can lead to
welds cracking or fatigue failure of the air receiver.
Omega Compressors offers vibration isolators or vibration pads, fl ex hoses, electronic auto drains or pneumatic auto
drains along with a host of other accessories such as fi lters and refrigerated air dryers etc. to provide reliable clean dry
compressed air. Ask your local Omega distributor for details on all our accessories.
INSTALLATION - ELECTRICAL
It is your responsibility to ensure that the Air Compressor Unit is electrically connected in a safe and correct manner.
Any electrical work should be carried out by a competent electrician and installed in a way which meets all applicable
codes and regulations. A magnetic starter must be an integral part of the air compressor except on contractor and
professional series units. A magnetic starter may be supplied with your unit from the factory.
Failure to connect the air compressor correctly to your buildings electrical services may result in serious personal injury
or damage to the equipment.
