2.0 Installation
2.1 Inspection upon Receiving
The Reciprocating Air system should be carefully inspected upon delivery. Any damage by the carri-
er should be noted on the delivery receipt, especially if the system will not be immediately uncrated
and installed. The system may remain in its shipping container(s) until ready for installation. If the
system is to be stored prior to installation, it must be protected from the elements to prevent rust and
deterioration.
DO NOT REMOVE the protective covers from the inlet and discharge connection ports of the unit
until they are ready for connecting to the distribution system.
2.2 Handling
!!WARNING!!
USE APPROPRIATE LOAD RATED LIFTING EQUIPMENT AND OBSERVE SAFE LIFTING PRO-
CEDURES DURING ALL MOVES.
The compressor package can be moved with either a forklift or dollies. Keep all packing in place dur-
ing installation to minimize damage. Examine the route the unit must travel and note dimensions of
doorways and low ceilings. Units should be placed to ensure easy access to perform maintenance
and high visibility of indicators and gauges.
2.3 Location
The Air system should be installed indoors in a clean, well-ventilated environment. Areas of exces-
sive dust, dirt or other air-borne particulate should be avoided. Secure the package to a flat, level
surface capable of supporting the weight and forces of the unit. Make sure that the main base is not
bowed, twisted, or uneven. The tank must be securely bolted using all mounting holes provided in
the tank. If a raised concrete pad is used, the tank must not overhang the concrete pad. A method to
drain away moisture is necessary. If a gravity drain is not available, a connection to a drain is neces-
sary. The area should have a maximum ambient temperature of 113
o
F (45
o
C). (Note: At tempera-
tures below 32
o
F condensate can occur which could affect operation.)
2.4 Space Requirements
The Air system should be placed to ensure easy access to perform maintenance and high visibility
of indicators and gauges. It is recommended that a minimum space of 24” be allowed on all sides of
the compressor system for ventilation and maintenance. A minimum space of 36" in front of the con-
trol panel is required by NEC code. A vertical distance of 36” is required above the unit for ventilation
and maintenance.
