Never clamp or bolt Air Receiver Feet to the floor
or support structure. Doing so can greatly
increase stress on the Tank, causing it to weaken
and/or fracture. Use Vibration Pads.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury, use
indoors only.
The Compressor must not be operated in a
confined area where the heat from the Unit
cannot readily escape.

If installed in a compressor room, ensure that the
room is adequately ventilated (One Horsepower
produces approximately 2500 BTU/HR.).
Eg: 15 HP Unit x 2500 BTU/HP = 37,500 BTU/hour.
The ambient temperature should be between
50°F and 104°F (10°C to 40°C).
Items to consider when installing the Unit are as
follows:
The Unit must be located indoors in a dry, clean,
cool, dust free, and well-ventilated area. If
possible, the Compressor should be located in a
separate room or area, away from the general
operations of the shop.
Allow a minimum of 18” around and 24” above
the Unit, this being for both the proper ventilation
of the Unit and ease of servicing.
If installing the Unit on a mezzanine, ensure
that the structure can safely support the weight
of the Unit. The Vibration Pads will help to
lessen the sound level of the Unit caused by
harmonics created by the structure.
All Compressor Units must be anchored and
installed as shown below. Failure to do this will
affect the Tank Warranty.
Ensure that the floor under the Unit is smooth,
level and capable of bearing the weight of the
Compressor. The Compressor must sit squarely
on the floor.
This unit must be anchored to the floor as
indicated at above-right. Ingersoll-Rand has
available Installation Kits which include (4)
Vibration Isolator Pads, (1) Stainless Steel Flex
Hose, and Steel and Rubber Washers.
