Transport

Fig. 7
Note
Before transporting the unit, remove the doors.
Danger
The compressor must be lifted using a suitable
forklift truck which complies with the local safety
regulations.
Before lifting, all loose or slewable parts of the
machine have to be firmly secured.
It is strictly prohibited to work or stand in the
danger zone of a lifted load.
The proper lifting of the load (according to the
operating instructions of the load suspension
device) has to be ensured.
Important
Never lift or lash the compressor and its hood via
the enclosure. The screw compressor is lifted with
the help of a fork lift truck (Fig. 7). The separation
of the forks and their length must be taken into
account for transportation.
Only use the identified lifting points. Do not slide
the unit when it is standing on the floor.
Weights

Danger
•
The weight carrying capacity of the foundation
has to be taken into account when installing the
compressor.
•
Provide for a solid and plane base.
•
The intakes are to be located so that no
hazardous constituent (solvent vapour, etc., but
also dusts and other hazardous material) can be
sucked in. This applies also to flying sparks.
•
Pipes and/or other parts with a surface
temperature higher than 70 °C/158 °F have to be
suitably identified and secured against
touching.
See also the safety regulations in chapter 3 of the
operating instructions.
Important
The operator has to provide adequate ventilation
for the compressor station.
The screw compressor unit has to be levelled. A
minimum distance from walls, other machines, etc.
should be maintained so that there is sufficient
clearance for maintenance and repair work (Fig. 8).
During operation of the screw compressor unit, heat is
generated by the electric motor and the compression
process. The screw compressor radiates a part of this
heat into the surroundings.
Proper ventilation has a considerable effect on the
service life and the performance of a compressor.
