stress on the air receiver tank. Use metal shims to pack under any “short” feet, if necessary, which is
most often due to the floor surface not being perfectly level rather than the mounting feet being
uneven. The use of flexible vibration isolators underneath the mounting feet is highly recommended
and will reduce noise emissions. Certain compressor models are supplied complete with rubber
vibration isolators and these must be installed using the supplied fasteners.
5.3
Petrol and Diesel Air Compressors
Keep the engine at least 1 metre (3 ft) away from building walls and other equipment to prevent a
fire hazard and ensure that the exhaust does not blow onto any surface. An exhaust deflector is
supplied with the compressor for use, if necessary. Install the compressor in a location with plenty of
space for proper ventilation, cooling air flow and accessibility. Do not install or operate the
compressor in a confined area. Provide sunshade and shelter from moisture wherever possible.
5.3.1 Portable
W
heel-Mounted Type
Assemble the supplied axles and wheels onto the compressor using one nut and washer per wheel.
Apply a small amount of lubricant to the axle and wheel rubbing surfaces. Tighten the axle nuts to
55 Nm (40 lbf-ft). Use only the supplied rubber wheels or equivalent vibration isolators. Place the
compressor on a firm, level surface that is strong enough to support its weight. Use wheel chocks to
prevent movement of the compressor during operation and possible straining of the air hose. Do not
place on an incline during use as this will interfere with the compressor pump’s splash lubrication
system.
Some models are equipped with only two – rather than four – wheels and also two rubber foot
mounts. Assemble the latter onto the foot mounting bracket with the supplied fasteners. These
compressors also require their removeable carry handle to be attached using the supplied fasteners.
And depending on the model, some also require the filter-regulator to be attached to this handle.
Portable type compressors may alternatively be installed for fixed stationary or mobile applications
by bolting them down loosely through the holes in the bottom of the wheel mounting brackets.
Flexible vibration isolators must be used. The wheels and axles should not be fitted in such cases.
5.3.2 Stationary S
kid
-Mounted Type
The correct mounting of a stationary engine-driven compressor set is essential for vibration control.
Failure to install the compressor set properly will likely result in misuse damage to the unit, which is
not covered by warranty.
The compressor can be operated freestanding on a firm and level foundation if mounted on its
factory supplied vibration isolators as shown in Figure 5-1. Caution: The unit will move around when
the engine is running and may need to be loosely restrained in position.
