3.0 PLACING
The AIRPRESS compressor should be placed in such way that all points, destined
to carry it will really do so. Take also care of a horizontal position.
The engine should get sufficient cooling air; so never cover the ventilating
openings.
Place the compressor in a cool dustfree space. Never place the compressor in a
room where will be sprayed. Paint spray will clog the air filter and will also deposit
on the compressor.
Mind that the drain tap for condensation water (l) and the level gauge will always
remain attainable. We suggest to leave a space of approximately 30 cm for
ventilation and maintenance.
Notice: Insufficient air supply, too high temperature and fouling of the air
filter reduce the efficiency of the compressor considerably (H 85 without air
tank and drain tap for condensation water).
3.1 ELECTRIC CONNECTION
At the factory the machine is already fully equipped with cables. The machine now
has to be connected to your own electricity supply. Connect the machine to a
separate group. Beware that voltage and amperage of your electric circuit meet
the needs of the motor. Use only cables with the right diameter. The factory
suggests to use cables of at least 2.5 qmm.
It is well advised to place a main switch between the compressor installation and
the electric circuit, so you can shut off all the electricity before maintenance. Use
only skilled personnel for electric connections.
Before first use first read chapters 3.2 and 4.0.
3.2 AIR CONNECTION
Best use for connection of the compressor to an air circuit a flexible hose, to
isolate vibrations from the machine. The diameter of the hose must meet the con-
nection of the ball cock. The quick coupling supplied has to be mounted with tape
on the outlet of the reducing valve (on cock (h)).
