Correct installation is your responsibility.
Make sure you have the proper installation conditions
and that installation clearances do not block air flow.
Blocking air flow over the product in any way can
cause the product to overheat.
Mounting
This product can be installed in any orientation.
Mounting the product to a stable, rigid operating
surface and using shock mounts will reduce noise and
vibration.
Plumbing
Remove plugs from the IN and OUT ports. Connect
with pipe and fittings that are the same size or larger
than the product's threaded ports. Be sure to connect
the intake and exhaust plumbing to the correct inlet
and outlet ports. Ports will not support plumbing.
Accessories
The product's external intake and exhaust muffler will
provide adequate filtration in most applications. Check
filters periodically and replace when necessary.
Consult your Gast Distributor/Representative for
additional filter recommendations.
Install relief valves and gauges at inlet or outlet or
both, to monitor performance. Check valves may be
required to prevent back streaming through the pump.
Motor Control
It is your responsibility to contact a qualified
electrician and assure that the electrical installa-
tion is adequate and in conformance with all
national and local codes and ordinances. The
metal capacitor must be grounded.
Determine the correct overload setting required to
protect the motor (see motor starter manufacturer's
recommendations). Select fuses, motor protective
switches or thermal protective switches to provide
protection. Fuses act as short circuit protection for the
motor, not as protection against overload. Incoming
line fuses must be able to withstand the motor's
starting current. Motor starters with thermal magnetic
overload or circuit breakers protect motor from over-
load or reduced voltage conditions.
The wiring diagram supplied with the product provides
required electrical information. Check that power
source is correct to properly operate the dual-voltage
motors.
