Compressor
General Guidelines
•
Components must be bolted to brackets welded to the pump compartment
frame or bolted directly to the pump compartment frame.
•
Allow enough clearance for routine maintenance, including clearance for
checking oil, adding oil, adjusting pressure, changing filters, cleaning screens
or opening drain valves.
•
The sump (oil/air reservoir) can be mounted at the same level as the com-
pressor or below it. If the sump must be mounted above the compressor (12
inches maximum), contact Waterous for the correct check valve to prevent
compressor flooding.
•
The sump must be horizontal, level and in the proper orientation. Do not relo-
cate or extend the sight glass.
•
The oil sight glass must be visible after all the components are installed so
oil level can be monitored easily.
•
The heat exchanger must be installed horizontally with the drain at the lowest
point.
•
To prevent damage to hydraulic and air lines or accidentally disconnecting
them, run them along the support beams of the pump compartment whenever
possible, bundled with cable ties or other fasteners.
•
Wire, hoses or tubing that passes through metal, such as a compartment pan-
el, must have a protective bushing or shield around the edge of the hole to
protect against abrasion.
•
To make troubleshooting easier, use colored air hoses as supplied and
shown on the air schematic (see Page 32 for color coding - Do not paint air
hoses).
•
Labeling the lines is strongly recommended.
CAUTION
Do not damage the vehicle chassis (also called frame or undercarriage)
during installation. Check with the vehicle manufacturer to make sure the
planned weld and bolts are in acceptable areas.
