When determining a mounting location for the G300004, ensure the following
conditions are met (see Figure 1 on page 15):
•
The fuel shut off valve is easily accessible (the fuel valve must be shut off
when the unit is not in use, including during transport).
•
The sight glass, oil drain and filters on the WHASP Tank are easily accessible
for service.
•
The belt guard is accessible and can be removed for service.
•
The engine oil drain, oil fill, fuel fill, and air filter are easily accessible for
service.
•
There is adequate access to cool fresh air for optimum engine performance.
•
There is sufficient clearance around the unit for good air circulation and
effective cooling.
•
The unit is mounted in a position where hot air and exhaust will not recirculate
back into the system.
•
The exhaust is routed to open air and not orientated in a way that will fill with
rain.
•
The unit is protected from damage and excessive exposure to the elements.
•
The unit is away from heat sources such as engines, exhaust systems or other
components that generate heat.
•
The unit is not in a location where it will be exposed to high contamination
levels, including combustible gases.
The information in this section is very important for proper
operation of the compressor. Read these requirements prior to
beginning the installation.
Installation Requirements
Read pages 2 – 10 of this manual prior to proceeding.
See page 23 of this manual for an overview of the various
components.
Enclosed mounting must incorporate one of the following to ensure an
adequate supply of cool fresh air to the engine, and to remove all of
the engine exhaust and heat generated from the system:
•
The unit must be mounted on a pull out tray that is extended
anytime the unit is run. In general, this is the simplest method.
•
The cabinet must be designed with features such as ducting and
intake/exhaust fans.
