4a. Repair the unit and make out a detailed invoice to the trucker showing labor hours,
labor rate, materials used, and cost of materials.
2.5 Storage
In some cases it may necessary to store the compressor for extended periods of several
months before placing the unit in operation. When this is required do the following:
1. Cover and seal all machine openings to prevent the entrance of water and dirt.
2. Cover all openings in open drip proof motors to prevent the entrance of rodents.
3. If the storage conditions are below freezing, drain off the aftercooler, traps, water-cooled
heat exchangers and relative piping. We do not recommend outside storage.
4. Cover with a waterproof tarpaulin that can easily be removed for in storage maintenance.
5. While in storage, every two to three months rotate the compressor and motor by hand to
prevent flat spots on the bearings that will lead to premature failure.
At the end of the storage period, follow the uncrating and start-up procedures. If the unit has
been stored for more than eighteen months you should contact LaPlante Compressor Ltd.
before commissioning the compressor.
2.6 Installation Drawings (Recommended):
A minimum distance from walls, other machines, etc. should be maintained so that there is
sufficient clearance for maintenance and repair work ( refer to figure 2-2) .
We recommend a minimum duct cross-section of approx. 0.3 square meter. In order to ensure
a good heat dissipation, auxiliary fans should be rated to process approximately 15-20% more
air volume than the total cooling air quantity required by the compressors installed in the
compressed air station.
