4 UNPACKING
The machine must be unpacked by qualified personnel using suitable tools.
The compressor is to be lifted with a forklift truck rated for the weight of the unit.
Check that the outside packaging is intact.
Unpack the machine carefully.
Check that the outside of the machine is intact.
Dispose of the packaging in compliance with current environmental regulations.
5 LOCATION
Install the compressor at the site point indicated at the time the order was placed. If the unit is
installed at a different site, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any ensuing
problems.
Unless specified otherwise at the time the order is placed, the compressor must run normally under
the environmental conditions indicated below.
The room where the compressor is installed must comply with current accident prevention
standards and must meet the following requirements:
Protected from rain and frost.
Relatively free of dust. In time, a dusty environment can lead to damage and operating problems.
Adequately ventilated and of such size that environmental temperature remains steady (min. 5°C,
max. 45°C) when the machine is running. At the maximum admissible environmental temperature
(45°C) and with a relative humidity above 80% machine performance can reduce. Likewise,
machine performance may be reduced when the unit is installed at an altitude of 1000 m above
sea level.
If hot air exhaust is inadequate, install exhaust fans at the highest position possible (see figure 4).
Lighting: the compressor is built considering current standards and seeking to reduce shadow
zones to the barest minimum, thus facilitating operator intervention; as the compressor room
lighting system is deemed important for personnel safety, there must not be any shadows, glaring
lights or stroboscopic effects due to the lighting.
Potentially explosive and/or flammable atmospheres: in its standard configuration, the compressor
is not designed to work in environments where there is the risk of explosion and/or fire;
