ANCHORING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
□ Place the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well
ventilated area.
□ The air compressor must be positioned at least 18 in. away
from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with
the air flow.
□ Locate the air compressor as close to the main power
supply as possible to avoid using long lengths of electrical
wiring.
□ The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions which
could reduce the air flow to the air compressor.
Installation - Mounting
WARNING: This compressor is extremely top heavy. The
unit must be bolted to the floor with isolation pads before
operating to prevent equipment damage, injury, or death.
1
Drilling the mounting holes
□ Place one vibration pad under each air compressor unit (A)
foot to avoid unnecessary vibration which could damage
the air compressor unit (A).
□ Using the mounting holes, center the vibration pad so it
fully supports each leg. Drill holes through the pad into the
concrete using a 3/8 in. masonry bit. Holes drilled must be at
least as deep as the concrete wedge anchors being used.
2
Inserting the mounting bolts
□ Insert the mounting bolts into the drilled holes.
□ Place a washer on each bolt. Thread a nut onto each bolt
until the top of the nuts and bolts are flush.
□ Strike the bolt heads with a hammer until the nuts and
washers are sitting on top of the air compressor unit (A)
foot.
3
Setting the mounting bolts
□ Tighten the nuts using a ratchet with a 9/16 in. socket until
the anchors are set.
□ Use the installation torque specifications of the bolt
(provided by the bolt manufacturer).
□ Loosen the nuts to leave a 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) gap for stress
relief during the air compressor unit (A) operation.
