INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
to lift other attached equipment.
Picking the Location
Install and operate unit at least 24 inches from any obstructions in a
clean, well ventilated area. The surrounding air temperature should
not exceed 100° F. This will ensure an unobstructed flow of air to
cool compressor and allow adequate space for maintenance.
other source of contamination.
NOTE: If compressor operates in a hot, moist environment, supply
compressor pump with clean, dry outside air. Supply air should be
piped in from external sources.
Tank Mounting
The tank should be bolted into a flat, even, concrete floor or on a
separate concrete foundation. Vibration isolators should be used
between the tank leg and the floor.
When using isolator pads, do not draw bolts tight. Allow the pads
to absorb vibrations. When isolators are used, a flexible hose or
coupling should be installed between the tank and service piping.
bursting.
Piping
Any tube, pipe or hose connected to the unit must be able to
withstand the temperature generated and retain the pressure. All
pressurized components of the air system must have a pressure
rating of 200 psi or higher. Incorrect selection and installation of any
tube, pipe or hose could result in bursting and injury. Connect piping
system to tank using the same size fitting as the discharge port.
Disconnect, tag and lock out power source then release all pressure from the
system before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
Do not lift or move unit without appropriately rated equipment. Be sure the unit is securely
attached to lifting device used. Do not lift unit by holding onto tubes or coolers. Do not use unit
Never use the wood shipping skids for mounting the compressor.
Do not locate the compressor air inlet
near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas or any
Failure to properly install the tank can lead
to cracks at the welded joints and possible
Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed
air. Serious injury or death could result.
