atmosphere.
 The machine is not subjected to direct solar
radiation.
 Outside heating from surrounding heat sources
is excluded.
 There is no dust accumulation.
 Fire protection measures have been taken.
 The machine is not subjected to vibrations.
 The floor is resistant to solvents, impermeable to
liquids, anti-static and easy to clean.

5.3 Installation
5.3.1 Remove shipping spacers
To protect the vibration isolators underneath the
motor/airend assembly during transport, there are
red spacers that hold the assembly in place. Make
sure all of these spacers are removed before first
startup of the compressor. Failure to remove the
spacers will result in excessive vibration and can
cause damage to the compressor.

5.3.2 Ventilation
DANGER!
Risk of fatal injury from the use of
explosive gas mixtures, vapors, dust
or aggressive hazardous
substances!
The use of explosive gas mixtures,
vapors, dust or aggressive hazardous
substances to ventilate the screw
compressor can cause severe or even
fatal injuries as well as significant
material damage.
- Never use explosive gas mixtures,
vapors, dust or aggressive
hazardous substances to ventilate
the screw compressor.
- Make sure that no potentially
explosive gas mixtures, vapors,
dust or aggressive hazardous
substances enter into the ventilation
for the screw compressor.
The air fed via the intake openings is used for com-
pression and for cooling the machine.
