3.4 STABILIZING PRECAUTIONS
FOR MACHINE MOUNTING
Machine should be mounted to vehicle using
a minimum of four (4) isolators. Isolators
absorb vibration and allow for a complete
sealing of the machine to the mounting
surface. Isolators are available from Vanair
®
:
order bolt down isolator, part number
PR271935 (quantity of 4).
Do Not
permanently bolt machine down until after all
instructions in
Section 3
have been
addressed.
3.5 MACHINE PACKAGE
MOUNTING
When determining package position on
vehicle, be aware of the minimum space
requirements needed for cooling and
circulation, and also package access for
performing maintenance (see
Sections
7.15A, 7.15B and 7.15C
for
Installation and
Dimension
diagrams). To prepare the
machine for mounting, follow the succeeding
procedure:
1. Unbolt the unit from the skid:
remove the mounting nuts, lock
washers, washers and mounting
bolts securing the machine to the
shipping crate.
2. Using a proper hoist, lift and place
the unit in a preliminary position on
the service body of the vehicle so
that access is easily attained and
there is enough space surrounding
the mounting area for cooling
purposes.
3. Leaving the unit in the preliminary
position, connect the ground cable
to the unit battery and check all fluid
levels (
NOTE:
vehicle should be on
a level surface in order to get
accurate fluid level checks).
4. Move the unit into its final location
for mounting, while positioning the
control trunk line and all other
connections.
Bolt the machine down with four (4) 3/8” bolts
inserted up from the bottom through the four
mounting bolt holes of the base frame. See
Sections 7.15A, 7.15B and 7.15C
for
Installation and Dimension
diagrams.
Start the unit and fully test all functions.
Warm the unit to full operating temperature.
After the unit has cooled, check all fluid
levels and add as needed.

SYSTEM (IF REQUIRED)
To connect to the fuel pump, refer to
Figure
3-1
