The compressor should be stored in a dry area, heated if possible. This applies especially to the winter
months.

Corrosion protection
All compressors are protected at the factory against corrosion for shipping and short-term storage prior to
commissioning. If compressors are stored for longer than 6 months, additional preventive measures must be
taken.
Compressors that will be out of service for an extended period of time must also be protected against corrosion.

Installation

Requirements for the installation site
The compressor must be installed with full contact on a foundation with sufficient structural strength. The
bearing surface must be level to within 3mm / 0.12".
The installation site (compressor room) should be of sufficient size that on side ("A") a clearance of 1m / 39"
and on side ("B") a clearance of 1.5m / 59" may not be undershot. The clearance above the compressor
should be 1.5m / 59" at least. There should also be appropriate access space for maintenance work.
