INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Picking the Location
Install and operate unit at least 18 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.
sandblast areas or any 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. Model MP345700AJ isolator pads are
recommended for installation.
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.
welded joints and possible bursting.
1.
Unbolt the unit from the shipping skid. Use a
ratchet with a 9/16 in. socket. Remove the unit
from the skid. This requires at least two people -
one person to walk the unit off the skid and one
to help maintain balance so the unit does not
topple. Place the unit where you plan to install it
(at least 18 in. from any wall or surface).
2.
Place pre-drilled vibration pads (sold separately)
under each foot to avoid unnecessary vibration
which could damage the unit.
Using the mounting holes and the holes of the
vibration pads as a guide, drill holes into concrete
using a 3/8 in. masonry bit. Holes drilled must be
at least 5 in. into the concrete.
3.
Insert mounting bolts. Use 3/8 in. x 5 in. wedge
anchors (not included) to secure the unit. Place
nut and washer on bolt. Thread nut onto bolt
until tops are flush. Strike bolt with hammer
until nut and washer are setting on top of the
compressor foot.
Tighten nut using ratchet with a 9/16 in. socket
until anchor is set (using installation torque
specifications of bolt being used). Loosen nut
to leave a 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) gap for stress relief
during unit operation.
Do not locate the compressor air
inlet near steam, paint spray,
Failure to properly install the
tank can lead to cracks at the
