Installation

3.1
General
When selecting the machine mounting position, the following points should
be considered:
• Access to oil ll/level and drain plugs
• Adequate clearance to allow the cooling air to circulate around the
machine
• Install away from sources of heat, e.g. vehicle exhaust air or hot pipes that
could e ect the compressor temperature in any way.
• Venting relief/control valve air must be unobstructed and direct to the
atmosphere.
• Fit the relief and/or protection valve control valves as close as possible to
the XK12 discharge port.
• Venting valves must be positioned so that hot air cannot vent onto the
operator or the compressor
• Silencers should be tted as close as possible to the discharge port.
For the recommended layout of the machine and ancillaries, see gure 1.
