Outdoor/altitude operation
Fix speed compressors can be sold with option rain protection. With this option, this compressor
can be installed outside under a shelter, in frost free conditions. If frost might occur, the
appropriate measures should be taken to avoid damage to the machine and its ancillary
equipment. In this case, and also if operating above 1000 m (3300 ft), consult Atlas Copco.
Moving/lifting
The compressor can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame. Take care not to
damage the bodywork during lifting or transport. Before lifting, reinstall the transport securing
bolts. Make sure that the forks protrude from the other side of the frame. The compressor can
also be lifted after inserting beams in the slots. Make sure that the beams cannot slide and that
they protrude from the frame equally. The chains must be held parallel to the bodywork by chain
spreaders in order not to damage the compressor. The lifting equipment must be placed in such
a way that the compressor is lifted perpendicularly. Lift gently and avoid twisting.
In case of units equipped with the Lifting Device Option, it is not allowed to lift the
compressor if the canopy parts or lifting supports are not completely installed. When the
compressor is being lifted, it is also forbidden to come under the load or to perform
maintenance activities to it.
7.3 Electrical connections
Important remark
To preserve the protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its components from
dust from the environment, it is mandatory to use a proper cable gland when connecting the
supply cable to the compressor.
