Section III – Installation

Receiving

Upon receipt of the compressor, immediately inspect the compressor for any visible damage which may
have occurred in shipment. If visible damage is found at the time of delivery, be sure the delivering
carrier makes a notation on the freight bill and request a damage report. If the shipment is accepted
and it is later found that the compressor unit has been damaged, this is classified as concealed damage.
If concealed damage is found, report it within 15 days of delivery to the delivering carrier, who must
prepare a damage report. Itemized supporting papers are essential to filing a claim.
Read the compressor nameplate to be sure the compressor is the model and size ordered and that
optionally ordered items are included.
Check the reservoir and pressure relief valves to be sure they are adequate for the pressure at which you
intend to operate.

Moving the Unit to the Installation Site

When a forklift is used to move the unit to its installation site, use forklift slots provided in one side and
one end of the main frame. Use of chains and slings should be limited to the main frame. Do not
attempt to lift the unit by attachment to any components. Optional lifting eyes are available.
NOTE:
See technical data pages for detailed technical information and dimensions.
Improper lifting can result in component of system damage or personal
injury. Follow good shop practices and safety procedures when moving the
unit.

Location

Locate the compressor on a level surface that is clean, well lit and well ventilated. Allow sufficient space
(four feet of clearance on all sides and top of the compressor) for safe and proper daily inspection and
maintenance. The entire length of the frame base must be supported. Shim where necessary but do
not use wood. Ambient temperature should not exceed 110
high air temperature shutdown.) Careful consideration of room size and shape must be done so that hot
exhaust air from the cooling fan does not recirculate within the room, causing the operating
temperatures to rise. High temperature shutdown may result. All models are intended for indoor
installation; however, it is possible, with certain modifications, to accommodate some outdoor locations.
Cabinet models are water-resistant but not water tight. Sheltering from rain, snow and freezing
temperatures is mandatory.
