SECTION 2
INSTALLATION
GENERAL
- On receipt of the unit, check for any damage that may have been incurred during transit.
Report any damage or missing parts as soon as possible.
Do not electric weld on the compressor or base; bearings can be damaged by
passing of current.
LIFTING UNIT
- Proper lifting and/or transporting methods must be used to prevent damage. Unit may
be moved into location by lift truck.
Lift compressor unit under base only. Do not use other places such as motor,
compressor or discharge manifold piping as lifting points.
The eyebolts or lugs provided on the motor are for lifting the motor only and
should not be used to lift any additional weight. All eyebolts must be securely
tightened. When lifting the motor the lifting angle must not exceed 15 degrees.
Failure to observe this warning may result in damage to equipment or personal
injury.
Compressor, air/oil reservoir, separator chamber and all piping and tubing may
be at high temperature during and after operation.
LOCATION
(Figure 2 - 1
,
page 13) - The compressor must be installed where it is protected from rain,
snow and freezing temperatures, in a clean, well-lighted, well-ventilated area with ample space all around
for maintenance. Select a location that provides a cool, clean, dry source of air. In some cases it may be
necessary to install the air filter at some distance from the compressor to obtain proper air supply, see
“Inlet Line, page 15 and 16.
AIR-COOLED UNIT
- A combination oil/air cooler is supplied as standard equipment on all air-cooled
units. An electric fan module supplies the ventilation needs for the oil/air cooler and electric motor cooling
(Figure 1-2, page 9). Air is drawn into the unit through the left side panel, over the motor and discharged
through the cooler cores. Do not block the air flow to and from the unit. Allow three and one half (3-1/2)
feet to the nearest obstruction on the control box end of the unit. Allow two (2) feet to the nearest
obstruction above and on other sides of unit.
