The proper description and classification of our product in the National
Motor Freight Classification 100-H, contained in item 118100, reads as follows:
Compressors, air, or air ends: with or without air tanks, hose or nozzles,
mounted or not mounted."
We suggest that these instructions be circulated to your shipping and
receiving personnel.
QT & PLT Series air compressors should be installed in an area that is clean,
dry, well lighted, adequately ventilated, and not more than 24 inches to a wall
or other compressor. (Note: A gas engine will produce carbon monoxide; always
provide adequate ventilation!) Inspection and maintenance checks are re-
quired daily. Therefore, sufficient space needs to be provided around the
compressor for safe and proper inspection, cleaning, and maintenance.
Ample circulation of air must be provided across the compressor cylinders,
heads and cooler (if so equipped). If at all possible, the pulley drive system (i.e.
motor pulley, compressor sheave, belts and guard) should be located next to a
wall to minimize any danger created by the drive system while the compressor
is operating. Do not allow hot air from additional equipment to blow towards
the compressor.
QT & PLT series compressors should be operated in temperatures under
104°F. In cold climates, the compressor should be installed in a heated building.
Do not operate this compressor in ambient temperatures lower
than -15° F. A crankcase heater is recommended for a compressor
that is to operate in temperatures under 32° F.
Under no circumstances should a compressor be used in an area
that may be exposed to toxic, volatile, or corrosive atmosphere. Do
not store toxic, volatile, or corrosive agents near the compressor.
Noise
Noise is a potential health hazard that must be considered. There are federal
and local laws governing acceptable noise levels. Check with local officials for
specifications.
