has a functional safety latch or equivalent and is
properly attached to lifting feature.
2. Make sure lifting points are in good condition and
tighten any loose nuts or bolts before lifting.

sling must be used when moving compressor with a
helicopter or other air-borne equipment. Be sure to
follow OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910 Subpart N.

or swinging of the compressor while it is in the
air and NEVER attempt to lift in high winds. Keep
compressor as low to the ground as possible.

pressor package. NEVER use bolts or other hooks on
invididual components to move the compressor.

can support the weight of the compressor and load-
ing equipment.

Installation
Area
Exhaust air from this unit can be used to supple-
ment environment heat. Install unit in separate room
then create duct system as shown in figure 3.
1. Install compressor in a clean, well ventilated
and well lit area. Make sure air inlet is away from
exhaust fumes or other toxic, noxious or corro-
sive fumes or substances. Installation area must
maintain low relative humidity and a temperature
range between 35˚ - 110˚ F. This unit must be
kept under roof and away from rain, snow, etc.
