Receiving and Uncrating of your Compressor

Before uncrating the compressor the following steps should be taken.

1. Immediately upon receipt of the equipment, it should be inspected for

damage that may have occurred during shipment. If any damage is

found, demand an inspection immediately by an inspector from the

carrier. Ask him how to file a claim for damages. (See Appendix “A” for

Details).

2. Insure that adequate lifting equipment is available for moving the

machinery.

3. Read the compressor nameplate to be sure the compressor is the

model and size ordered.

4. Read the motor nameplate to be sure the motor is compatible with

your electrical conditions. (Volts-Phase-Hertz).

Compressor Installation

LOCATION

Locate the compressor in an area that is clean, dry, well lighted, and

well ventilated, with sufficient space for safe and proper inspection and

maintenance. Ambient temperatures should not exceed 110 degrees F

or fall below 30 degrees unless. Inspection and maintenance checks are

required daily, therefore, ample space is required around the compressor.

The compressor must not be installed closer than fifteen inches from a

wall or other solid structure to allow ample circulation or air across the

compressor cylinders and head, and through the coolers if they are part

of the system. Additional safety can be achieved by locating the pulley

guard next to the wall or solid structure.

MOUNTING

We recommend the use of rubber pads or isolators between the tank

legs and the floor. If a shim is required to level the unit, place it between

the pad and floor. If you bolt the unit to the floor, use the bolts as guide

pins and do not tighten the bolts. The rubber pads are used to absorb

machine vibration and cannot work effectively if bolted tightly.

pre-operation

IMPORTANT: Compressor drive engine comes with its own manual

refer to drive engine manual for any specifications or troubleshooting

issues with the drive engine of the air compressor.

WARNING

Improper lifting can result in component or system damage or personal

injury. Follow good shop practices and safety procedures.
