Installation
4.1 COMPRESSOR MOUNTING, SUPPORT AND LOCATION
Compressor should be located on a flat surface in a clean, well-lit and well-ventilated area.
The location must have sufficient access for maintenance equipment and lifting vehicle.
Four feet (4’) of clearance around the compressor is recommended for daily inspection and
easy access to all compressor components. The area must have sufficient lighting for
technicians to safely operate the compressor as well as perform maintenance work. The
location should be free from standing water.
The compressor’s base must be installed on a level surface that can support the gross dead
weight of the machine. Rubber pads with 5 - 15mm thickness or pliable material should be
placed under the bottom of the base if floor surface is uneven or irregular. A stationary
compressor will prevent accidents such as broken piping or electrical connections.
NOTICE!
Brand new compressor has “Orange Color” shipping bracket installed under
airend assembly. Please remove the bracket after the unit is installed.
Removal or paint over of safety labels will be a safety hazard. This could result in
personal injury or property damage. Warning signs and labels should be conspicuous
and on a bright legible surface. Do not remove any warning, caution or instructional
material attached with unit.
4.2 VENTILATION AND COOLING
Ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C (104°F). High ambient temperatures
may result in high air temperature shutdown.
