Installation

DANGER
Always observe the safety notes in Section
4 of the user manual.
Pay attention to the weight bearing capacity
of the ground.
DANGER
Risk of explosion - The compressor intake
should be set up such that hazardous
mixtures (solvent vapors etc.) cannot be
sucked in. The same applies to flying
sparks.
CAUTION
Fig. 8
The screw compressor unit has to be leveled. The
system may not be run while on the transport pallet.
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.
Once the compressor has been installed, the R-clips
(-1- Fig. 7) can be removed from the hinge pins
(-2- Fig. 7). The R-clips prevent the doors from falling
off while being transported from the manufacturer.
