Receiving/Handling/Storage
Receiving
Centac compressors are shipped in first class condition. They have been inspected prior to
leaving the factory. Loading of the compressor has been supervised by Ingersoll-Rand
personnel to ensure that the unit has not been damaged during loading and that all
accessory equipment has been properly documented.
Inspect the compressor for shipping damage before removing the compressor from carrier’s
vehicle. If damage or indication of rough handling is evident, file a claim with the carrier at
once, and notify your Ingersoll-Rand representative.
Remove only the shipping notice. Do not remove tags pertaining to lubrication, operation,
and storage. Read all tags and instructions.
Document receipt of all items included with the compressor, but packed separately. Make a
list of any items that were not received and notify your Ingersoll-Rand representative. Store
all items either with the compressor or in an appropriate secured area.
Handling/Lifting
An experienced rigger should move and install
the compressor. Adequate rigging and lifting
equipment must be provided to safely handle
the unit. Use spreader bars to prevent damage
to piping, tubing, gauges, and other accessory
equipment. Provisions for lifting the unit are
located at the corners of the baseplate
(s
ee Figure 1)
.
Installation of a Centac compressor can best be
done by the use of an overhead crane. Lifting
points have been provided in the baseplate for
the purpose of lifting the complete unit. To
facilitate lifting and avoid possible damage,
spreader bars are recommended. Figure 1
illustrates the lift points for a standard unit. An
overhead rail with a chain hoist will also simplify
the removal of the largest component parts
when maintenance is required.

WARNING
Do not lift the unit by the lifting eyes on the compressor or driver. These eyes
are for lifting the individual component parts only. Damage to equipment and injury to
personnel could result from misuse of the lifting eyes.
