Never clamp or bolt Air Receiver Feet to the
floor or support structure. Doing so can
greatly increase stress on the Tank, causing
it to weaken and/or fracture.
The Compressor must not be operated in a
confined area where the heat from the Unit
cannot readily escape.
Installation – Mechanical
Location of the Unit.
Items to consider when installing the Unit are as
follows:
Though these Units are used in more portable
applications (eg trailers or trucks), they should be
protected from the weather.
Allow sufficient room behind the Beltguard to
allow for proper ventilation of the Unit and ease
of servicing.
When anchoring the Unit, ensure that there is
approx. ¼” (0.75 cm) between the Nut and the
Compressor Foot (as shown below). Do not
bolt down tightly.
Ensure that the floor under the Unit is capable of
bearing the weight of the Compressor. The
Compressor must sit squarely on the floor.
DV Systems has available a ‘UDH-9700-K4’ Kit
consisting of (4) Vibration Isolator Pads to be
placed under the Unit to absorb vibration.

installed correctly.
