INSTALLATION
Do not operate unit if damaged during shipping, handling, or use. Operating unit if damaged
may result in injury.
This compressor is equipped with a vibration isolation system which consists of an inner
baseplate (pump mounting base) suspended on 4 springs. For shipping purposes ONLY, the
base is locked down with 2 wood blocks which are inserted between the inner baseplate and
outer frame. This is to prevent damage from the unit shifting around on the springs during
transit. These BOLTS AND WOOD BLOCKS MUST BE REMOVED prior to starting the unit.
1. Permanently installed compressors must be located in a clean, well ventilated, dry room so
the compressor receives an adequate supply of fresh, clean, cool, dry air. It is
recommended that a compressor used for painting be located in a separate room from that
area wherein body sanding and painting is done. Abrasive particles or paint found to have
clogged the air intake filters and intake valves shall automatically void warranty.
2. Compressors should never be located so close to a wall or other obstruction that flow of air
through the cooling fan, which cools the compressor, is impeded. Permanently mounted
units should have cooling fan at least 12" from wall for proper air circulation and ease of
maintenance.
3. Place compressors on firm, level, ground, or flooring. Permanent installations require
bolting to floor. Bolt holes in tank or base feet are provided. Before bolting or lagging
down, shim compressor level to avoid putting stress on a tank foot. It is recommended that
unit be set on optional vibro-isolator pads. Tanks bolted directly to a concrete floor without
isolators will not be warranted against cracking.
4. If installing a base mounted unit, make certain pressure limiting controls are properly
installed and operational. A pressure switch is required for start/stop control. Units
furnished with dual control are supplied with a pilot valve. The pilot valve requires a control
air pressure line from the air receiver to be connected to the pilot valve.
5.
Once the unit is in place, remove the shipping blocks.
Failure to remove shipping blocks may result in excessive vibration and unit damage.
