Guidelines when installing the
compressor unit
Check the strength and level of the installation ground so that the
unit will not cause any operating vibration or noise. If the vibration
might be transmitted to the building, use a vibration-proof rubber
(field supply).
You can install the compressor unit directly on the floor or on a
structure.
▪ On the floor. You do NOT have to fix the unit with anchor bolts.
▪ On a structure. Fix the unit securely with anchor bolts, nuts and
washers (field supply) to the structure. The foundation (steel beam
frame or concrete) must be larger than the grey marked area.
