Ensure adequate
lifting equipment
is available
for unloading
and
moving
the unit to the installation
site.
NOTE
Lifting equipment
must be properly
rated for the
weight of the unit.
,_, CAUTION
Lift the unit by the shipping
skid only. Do not use
the motor lifting
eye to lift the entire unit. The motor
lifting
eye is for removing
the motor from the unit
only.
z_ CAUTION!
Do not work on or walk under the unit while it is
suspended.
Use suitable lifting equipment
(i.e. forklift) to lift and transport the
unit to the installation site. Ensure the lifting equipment,
straps,
etc. are capable of supporting
the weight of the unit.
iiii
Before
signing the delivery
receipt, inspect for damage
and missing
parts. If damage
or missing
parts are apparent,
make the
appropriate
notation on the delivery
receipt, then sign the receipt.
Immediately
contact
the carrier for an inspection.
All material
must be held in the receiving
location
for the carrier's
inspection.
Delivery
receipts that have been signed
without a notation of
damage
or missing
parts are considered
to be delivered
"clear."
Subsequent
claims are then considered
to be concealed
damage
claims. Settle damage
claims directly with the transportation
company.
If you discover
damage
after receiving
the unit (concealed
damage),
the carrier must be notified
within 15 days of receipt and an
inspection
must be requested
by telephone
with confirmation
in
writing.
On concealed
damage
claims, the burden of establishing
that the unit was damaged
in transit reverts back to the claimant.
Read the unit nameplate
to verify it is the model ordered,
and read
the motor nameplate
to verify it is compatible
with your electrical
conditions.
Make sure electrical
enclosures
and components
are
appropriate
for the installation
environment,
SELECTING
A LOCATION
ELECTRIC
MOTOR UNITS.
For most electric motor units, select a
relatively clean and dry well-lighted
indoor area with plenty of space
for proper ventilation, cooling air flow and accessibility.
Provide
1,000 cubic feet of fresh air per 5 horsepower.
Locate the unit at
least 15 inches (38 cm) from walls, and make sure the main power
supply is clearly identified and accessible.
Unless the electrical
components of the unit are specially
protected
for outdoor use, do not install an electric motor unit outdoors or in
an area that will expose the electrical
components to rain, snow or
sources
of appreciable
moisture.
z_ WARNING
WARNING FOR UNITS EQUIPPED
WITH ELECTRIC DRAIN VALVE
The electric drain valve incorporates
arcing or
sparking parts, such as snap switches,
receptacles
and the like that tend to produce arcs or sparks
and, therefore, when located in a garage, the
compressor
should be in a room or enclosure
provided for the purpose, or the electric drain
valve should be 18 inches (457 mm) or more above
the floor.
GASOLINE
ENGINE UNITS.
For gasoline
engine units, keep the
engine at least 3 feet (1 m) away from building
walls and other
equipment.
Install the unit in a location with plenty of space for
proper ventilation,
cooling air flow and accessibility.
Do not install or
operate a gasoline
engine unit in a confined
area.
AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE
CONSIDERATIONS.
Ideal operating
temperatures
are between
32°F and 100°F (0°C and 37.8°C).
If
temperatures
consistently drop below 32°F (0°C), install the
compressor in a heated area. If this is not possible,
you must
protect
safety/relief
valves and drain valves from freezing.
If
temperatures
are consistently below 40°F (4.4°C),
consider
installing an external
crankcase heater kit, especially
if the
compressor has difficulty
starting.
z_ CAUTION
Never operate the compressor
in temperatures
below -15°F (-26.1°C) or above 125°F (51.0°C).
HUMID AREAS.
In frequently
humid areas, moisture
may form in
the pump and produce sludge
in the lubricant,
causing
running parts
to wear out prematurely.
Excessive
moisture
is especially
likely to
occur if the unit is located
in an unheated
area that is subject
to
large temperature
changes.
Two signs of excessive
humidity
are external
condensation
on the
pump when it cools down and a "milky" appearance
in petroleum
lubricant.
You may be able to prevent
moisture
from forming
in the pump by
increasing
ventilation,
operating
for longer intervals
or installing
an
external
crankcase
heater kit.
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS.
Consult local officials
for information
regarding
acceptable
noise levels in your area. To reduce excessive
noise, use vibration
isolator
pads (except
on Models
2000 and
2000P)
or intake silencers,
relocate the unit or construct
total
enclosures
or baffle walls.
MOUNTING
A WARNING
Remove the unit from the skid before mounting.
ELECTRIC
MOTOR UNITS.
Bolt the unit to a firm, level foundation
(such as a concrete floor). Do not bolt uneven feet tightly to the
foundation,
as this will cause excessive stress on the receiver tank.
Use metal shims under the "short" feet if necessary. DO NOT USE
VIBRATION
ISOLATOR
PADS ON MODELS
2000 AND 2000P.
