INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

coolers. Do not use unit to lift other attached equipment.
The compressor should be installed on a level floor or foundation of sufficient strength and rigidity to support it
without vibrating. It is recommended to use shims under the mounting feet to level the compressor, to prevent
"rocking in" and excessive vibration. To reduce vibration, isolator pads, Model 4C975, are recommended. When
isolators are used, install a flexible coupling between the tank and any pipe permanently attached to the tank.
floor. This may cause eventual failure.
Install and operate unit at least 24 in. from any obstructions in a clean, well ventilated area. This will ensure
an unobstructed flow of air to cool compressor and allow adequate space for maintenance. Never operate
compressor in a small, closed room. Vent the engine exhaust to outside.
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.
