INSTALLATION
GENERAL -- On receipt of the unit, check for any dam-
age that may have been incurred during transit. Report
any damage or missing parts as soon as possible.
Do not electric weld on the compres-
sor or base; bearings can be damaged
by passage of current.
LIFTING UNIT (FIGURE 2--1 and FIGURE 2--2) --
Proper lifting and/or transporting methods must be
used to prevent damage. Lifting slots are provided in
the base for towmotor use. Unit may also be moved into
location by rolling on bars.
Lift compressor unit by base only. Do
not use other places such as motor,
compressor or discharge manifold
piping as lifting points.
FIGURE 2- - 1 - - PREFERRED LIFTING METHOD
The eyebolts or lugs provided on the
motor are for lifting the motor only
and should not be used to lift any
additional weight. All eyebolts must
be securely tightened. When lifting
the motor the lifting angle must not
exceed 15 degrees. Failure to observe
this warning may result in damage to
equipment or personal injury.
LOCATION (FIGURE 2--3, page 7) -- The compres-
sor should be installed where it is protected from rain,
snow and freezing temperatures, direct sunlight, in a
clean, well--lighted, well--ventilated area with ample
space all around for maintenance. Select a location
that provides a cool, clean, dry source of air.
In some cases it may be necessary to install the air filter
at some distance from the compressor to obtain proper
air supply.
