SELECTING A LOCATION
GENERAL
Select a clean, dry, well-lighted indoor area with plenty of space for proper
cooling air flow and accessibility�� Locate the unit at least 12 inches (0 cm)
from walls, and make sure the main power supply is clearly identified and
accessible��
TEMPERATURE
Ideal operating temperatures are between 2°F and 100°F (0°C and 7��8°C)
If temperatures consistently drop below 2°F (0°C)�� locate the unit inside a
heated building�� If this is not possible, you must protect safety/relief valves
and drain valves from freezing��
Never operate in temperatures below 20°F (-6��6°C) or above
125°F (51��0°C)��
HUMID AREAS
In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in the bare 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
bare pump when it cools down and a "milky" appearance in petroleum
compressor lubricant�� You may be able to prevent moisture from forming
in the bare pump by increasing ventilation, operating for longer intervals
or installing a 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 or intake
silencers, relocate the unit or construct total enclosures or baffle walls��
PERMANENT MOUNTING
Remove the unit from the skid before mounting��
The unit must be permanently mounted�� When mounting the unit, bolt
the feet 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��

INSTALLING THE AIR INLET FILTER
CAUTION
Do not operate the unit without air inlet filter(s)��
If the air around the unit is relatively free of dirt, install the air inlet filter(s)
at the inlet connection(s) at the bare pump�� If remote air inlet piping or
heavy duty filtration is required, contact your dealer for information��
INSTALLING DISCHARGE PIPING
If it is necessary to install air discharge and condensate discharge piping,
adhere to the following general guidelines�� Contact your dealer for more
information��
WARNING
Do not use plastic pipe, rubber hose, or lead-tin soldered joints
anywhere in the compressed air system��
WARNING
If an aftercooler, check valve, block valve, or any other restriction
is added to the compressor discharge, install a properly-sized
ASME approved safety/relief valve between the compressor
discharge and the restriction��
CAUTION
If you will be using Ingersoll Rand synthetic compressor
lubricant, all downstream piping material and system
components must be compatible�� Refer to the following material
compatibility list�� If there are incompatible materials present
in your system, or if there are materials not included in the list,
contact your dealer or call 1-800-AIR-SERV��
