Review Long Term Storage Instructions supplied with Final Data Package. Should you have any
questions, contact the factory in Arvada, Colorado.
After long-term storage, have an authorized Sundyne service engineer inspect all components and
supervise any necessary repair to be sure that they work properly. Any components not made by
Sundyne (except mechanical seals) must be inspected or replaced as determined by the
manufacturer’s authorized personnel, at the purchaser’s expense. Any Field Service work must be
clearly stated at the time of purchase to validate an Extended Warranty.
Because storage location and unknown factors at the site or storage are beyond our control,
Sundyne does not accept any liability for damage to the equipment during storage, nor do we
guarantee the quality of the equipment during and after the storage period. An Extended Warranty
will be null and void if the proper equipment preparation is not maintained.
Installing the Suction and Discharge Piping - Guidelines
Step 1:
Clean the suction line.
Step 2:
Install a strainer to protect the impeller from damage by mill scale, welding slag, or other
foreign particles.
Step 3:
Make sure that the piping is aligned with the compressor flanges.
Step 4:
Support all piping independently of the compressor.
Step 5:
When you move the piping into place, never use excessive force at the flanged suction and
discharge connections. This could strain the unit.
Step 6:
Use suction pipe that has a diameter at least as large as the diameter of the suction inlet of
the compressor.
Step 7:
Make sure that the suction and discharge piping have no unnecessary elbows, bends, and
fittings. These increase the losses caused by friction. Also, be sure that all piping and fittings
are large enough to minimize losses caused by friction.
Step 8:
Before you connect the piping to the compressor, tighten the hold down-bolts on the
compressor.
Step 9:
Do not use elbow parts near the suction flange. A straight pipe run of at least 3 times the pipe
diameter is desirable between an elbow and the suction flange.
