NOTICE

For compressor tank to have full manufacturer warranty. The tank must 

be installed properly on manufacturer supplied vibration pads per

compressor manual. Failure to do so can void compressor tank 

warranty and cause tank cracks or failures.

On Electric compressors all electrical connections must be wired and 

installed per NEC (National Electric Code) (See the back of the manual 

for NEC code) and all local applicable codes for full electric component 

warranty. Failure to do so can void compressor electrical warranty.

Installation

LOCATION

Locate the compressor in an indoor area that is clean, dry, well lighted, 

and well ventilated, with sufficient space for safe and proper inspection 

and maintenance. Ambient temperatures should not exceed 104 degrees. 

For fall below 30 degrees unless an electric motor rated for a higher 

temperature is used. Inspection and maintenance checks are required 

daily, therefore, ample space is required around the compressor.
The compressor must not be installed closer than fifteen inches from a 

wall or from another compressor to allow ample circulation or air across 

the compressor cylinders and head, and through the coolers if they are

part of the system. Additional safety can be achieved by locating the 

pulley guard next to the wall.

MOUNTING

The use of the factory supplied rubber vibration isolation pads, or other 

factory supplied vibration isolation mounting equipment is required for 

tank warranty from the original tank manufacturer. The compressor should 

never be left on original shipping material for installation. If a shim is 

required to level the unit, place it between the pad and floor. If you bolt 

the unit to the floor, use the bolts as guide pins and do not tighten the 

bolts. The rubber pads are used to absorb machine vibration and cannot 

work effectively if bolted tightly.

INDUCTION SYSTEM

Do not locate the compressor where it could ingest or ignite toxic, 

explosive or corrosive vapors, ambient air temperatures exceeding 110 

degrees F, water or extremely dirty air. Ingestion of any of the above noted

atmospheres by the compressor could jeopardize the performance of the 

equipment and all personnel exposed to the total compressed air system.
Destructive pulsations can be induced by reciprocating compressors that 

will damage walls and break windows. Pulsation can be minimized by 

adding a pulsation dampener on the inlet side of the compressor.
