For support mounted portable compressors we
recommend the use of Atlas Copco option ÓSupport
mountedÓ. If for technical reasons, this option can not be
used, the following recommendations should be followed
ensuring a safe installation:

Ð position of the compressed air outlet valves
Ð opening and closing of the compressor doors.
Drill holes with a diameter of 15 mm in the bed or floor of the truck,
according the pattern in Fig. 8.1 (General tolerance: ± 1 mm).
Prepare the required supports according Fig. 8.2.
