Operating Instructions
8
1.
Install compressor in a clean, dry and well-lit area. Be sure installation area can maintain a temperature
range between 35˚ - 110˚ F.
2. Allow sufficient space around compressor for maintenance access and adequate airflow. Mount unit with
pulley towards wall and leave a minimum of 15 inches of clearance.
3. Use shims to level compressor if installation area is not flat. This will avoid excessive vibration
and premature pump wear.
4. If acid is used in operating environment or air is dust laden, pipe intake to outside, fresh air. Increase
pipe size by one size for every 20 feet of run. Be sure to install protective hood around intake filter.
5. In operating environments where excessive water, oil, dirt, acid or alkaline fumes are present, a TEFC
(totally enclosed, fan cooled) motor is recommended. Check nameplate for motor type.
6. Insulate cold water or other low temperature pipes that pass overhead to avoid condensation dripping on
compressor which could cause rust and / or motor shorting.
Safety Steps
1.
Install appropriate flow-limiting valves as necessary according to pipe size(s) used and run lengths. This will
reduce pressure in case of hose failure, per OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.302(b)(7).
2. Flow-limiting valves are listed by pipe size and rated CFM. Select appropriate valves accordingly, in
accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
If ambient temperature drops below 32˚F, be sure to protect safety/relief
valves and drain valves from freezing. NEVER operate compressor with
temperatures below 15˚F or above 125˚F.
CAUTION
DO NOT install compressor in boiler room, paint spray room, or area
where sandblasting occurs. Make sure inlet air is away from exhaust
fumes or other toxic, noxious or corrosive fumes or substances.
