Precautions during installation
1. The machine must only be lifted using suitable equipment in accordance with the applicable
safety regulations. Loose or pivoting parts must be securely fastened before lifting. It is strictly
forbidden to dwell or stay in the risk zone under a lifted load. Lifting acceleration and
deceleration must be kept within safe limits. Wear a safety helmet when working in the area of
overhead or lifting equipment.
2. The unit is designed for indoor use. If the unit is installed outdoors, special precautions must be
taken. Consult your supplier.
3. In case the device is a compressor, place the machine where the ambient air is as cool and

pipes.
5. Air hoses must be of correct size and suitable for the working pressure. Never use frayed,
damaged or worn hoses. Distribution pipes and connections must be of the correct size and

cannot be drawn in.
8. Ensure that the discharge pipe from the compressor to the aftercooler or air net is free to
expand under heat and that it is not in contact with or close to flammable materials.
