Installation
3.1 General
When selecting the machine mounting position, the following points should
be considered:
• Access to oil fi ll/level and drain plugs
• Adequate clearance to allow the cooling air to circulate around the
machine
• Install away from sources of heat, e.g. vehicle exhaust air or hot pipes that
could eff ect the compressor temperature in any way.
• Venting relief/control valve air must be unobstructed and direct to the
atmosphere.
• Fit the relief and/or protection valve control valves as close as possible to
the XK12 discharge port.
• Venting valves must be positioned so that hot air cannot vent onto the
operator or the compressor
• Silencers should be fi tted as close as possible to the discharge port.
For the recommended layout of the machine and ancillaries, see fi gure 1.
3.2 Lifting
- see fi g. 3
The weight of the basic compressor without ancillaries is 120 kg.
The mounting face to which the basic machine is fi tted should be fl at to
avoid distortion/stress and mounting bolts/locking nuts should be M16,
grade 8.8 or higher.
The basic compressor is supplied with an eyebolt attached for lifting. When
the machine has been installed, the eyebolt should be removed and replaced
by the blanking grommet (supplied) fi tted to the cover.
Any equipment used for lifting should be rated accordingly.

Do not lift using other parts of
the machine.
