Refer to Figure 3-1 (parts 1 and 2), and the
following procedure:
1. Position the machine so that there is no
restriction of cooling air through the
enclosure (minimum of 12 inches from
Any
front access side; minimum of six
inches from rear side. Cooling air
enters the enclosure through the front
and rear panels, passes through the
cooler, and exits through vents in the
end shroud.
2. Ensure that adequate height and
clearance exists to allow for the hood to
open (minimum of 49.9 inches from
mounting surface), and a clear passage
for service allowance to the
maintenance access panel located at
the back.
3. Mounting surface or support should be
adequate for the weight of the machine
and should be level for normal operation.
Mounting holes for four (4) 1/2" hold
down bolts are provided. Refer to
Section 7, Illustrations and Parts Lists
for additional installation and system
schematic drawings.

grouped at the end of the unit in the
base frame.
5. Electrical connections (system
designed for 12VDC negative ground).
Ensure all supply hoses and electrical wiring
are correctly specified, adequately supported
and do not touch or rest on any sharp edges.
Wiring should be protected with split loom to
prevent corrosion and consequently, loose
due to down time.
