Table (2) Compressor mounting methods
If you wish to utilize an installation method other than the approved methods described in
Table (2), please contact your local distributor. FS Curtis neither states as fact, nor implies
that the above list of Acceptable/Unacceptable mounting is all-inclusive. Contact your local
distributor for more information.
Step 4 – Install Vibration Isolator pads and mount the compressor
Exposure to excessive vibrations can significantly shorten the life of the compressor. FS
Curtis highly recommends mounting the unit on vibration isolator pads and the compressor
should NEVER be operated without being securely fastened to the ground.
Using a level, please check for proper alignment of the compressor. Uneven installation will
unbalance the compressor leading to excessive noise, vibrations, and wear. Place a steel
shim between the concrete and vibration pads and shim down as necessary for leveling. Level
the compressor so it can be bolted down securely. Before tightening the bolts, check to see
that all four feet are resting on the foundation. See fig (5) for mounting instructions for a floor
stud, and see fig (6) for mounting instructions for an anchor bolt.
