Install The Air Supply - Will Burt 7-30 HDL Operating Instructions Manual

5.8.2.2

Install the Air Supply

When installing, keep the following in mind:
• Mounting: When mounting the pneumatic system, leave enough space around the unit for
ventilation and for access to make initial installation, periodic adjustments, and future
maintenance procedures as easy as possible. To reduce vibration in the system, place rubber
washers or grommets on the bolts between the mounting pads and the mounting surface. To
reduce noise, separate the system from inside the workspace (e.g. the workspace of a
vehicle).
• Electrical: In accordance with applicable electrical codes, select the proper wiring size,
circuit breakers, or fuse size according to the maximum current draw of the pneumatic
system being installed. Refer to the rating information plate on the compressor motor. Be
sure to properly ground the compressor motor and all other electrical components. Operation
of the compressor may cause interference unless proper isolation or shielding is used. A
qualified electrician should perform installation and adjustments.
• Air Supply: The air supply should have adequate ventilation to provide a sufficient amount of
clean, dry air at the air intake at all times. The air supply should not be operated without the
air filters in place.
• Drain and Relief Fittings: A drain cock and safety valve must be installed to an air inlet port
at the base of the mast. The drain cock empties water that may have accumulated inside the
mast. The drain cock shall be opened to drain the mast when not in use, or when a locking
mast is extended and depressurized. The drain cock should be left open once the mast is
fully retracted. The safety valve prevents the mast from being over-pressurized.
• Plumbing: A length of air hose with an ID of ⅜ inch (9.5 mm), plus additional loose fittings,
are supplied with a The Will-Burt Company's pneumatic system if purchased. The air hose
can be cut to the required length at installation. Do not remove any hose without first
completely exhausting all air from the mast and then disconnecting the power supply.
To install the air supply:
1. If necessary, mount the air supply to the mounting structure with appropriate hardware. The
mounting hardware must include proper means to resist vibration loosening such as thread-
locking compound or locking hardware. Torque all hardware as appropriate for its size and
grade.
2. If necessary, connect customer power to the air supply. Be certain to observe any local codes
or regulations.
Note: The air supply should not be operated without air filters in place.
