SECTION 4 INSTALLATION
4.1 RECEIVING
Carefully inspect for any signs of possible shipping damage.
4.2 WELDING
WARNING: Do not weld on compressor package.
4.3 LOCATION
The standard compressor is designed for indoor operation or protected outdoor site with an ambient
temperature range of 35° to 104° F (2° to 40° C). It is important that there be sufficient unobstructed
ventilating airflow to prevent re-circulation of hot air. The compressor should be in a clean, dry, lighted
area with ample space for maintenance and servicing. Duct the hot air outside if necessary to prevent
excessively high ambient temperatures. Below is a listing of heat loads and fan air volumes that must be
accommodated to keep machines operating normally. It is possible to utilize this heat for space heating,
combustion air pre-heating, product drying, etc., --providing that no additional restriction is imposed upon
the compressor cooling fan. Consult the factory for assistance if heat recovery is desired.

Locate compressor as close as practical to where the compressed air is to be utilized. This saves piping
and reduces power requirements necessary to transmit compressed air long distances. The compressor
should be piped into a receiver tank prior to any filters or dryer. It is recommended that a moisture
separator be placed between compressor and receiver tank.
4.4 SUPPORT
The compressor may be mounted on any level surface capable of supporting its weight. It is
recommended that the machine be mounted on isolation pads and secured to prevent movement.
4.5 ELECTRICAL
A trained qualified electrician must do electrical wiring to the VFD with all pertinent Federal, State and
local codes concerning isolation switches, short circuit protection, grounding, etc.
Check all electrical connections for tightness.
Check for proper incoming voltage!
Insure proper grounding has been made.
