FLUID CONTAINMENT
Compressors are equipped with a fluid containment
pan to catch any fluid in the event of a leak or spill.
The drain for the pan is located on the air intake end
of the machine. For indoor installations, the drain
should be plugged to contain fluids. For outdoor
applications, the drain must be connected to a
separate, customer supplied system to allow
rainwater or any accumulated compressor fluid to
drain out.
4.4 COUPLING ALIGNMENT
CHECK
No coupling alignment is required; this machine is
directly driven.
4.5 FLUID LEVEL CHECK
The air compressor is shipped with the proper
amount of fluid installed. However, it is necessary to
check the fluid level at the time of installation and
during continued operation of the compressor. The
fluid level is to be checked when the compressor is in
the SHUT DOWN MODE (fluid level may not be
visible when operating), and by looking at the sight
glass on the separator/sump. To be able to see the
fluid level it may be necessary to start the machine
and build the separator/sump pressure up to 10/20
psi and then shut down. If no fluid level is seen in the
sight glass add fluid to the center of the glass. Do not
overfill in any case. When a complete fluid change is
performed, fill the separator/sump to the maximum
allowable fluid level.
4.6 ELECTRICAL PREPARATION
Interior electrical wiring is performed at the factory.
Required customer wiring should be done by a
qualified electrician in compliance with OSHA,
National Electrical Code, and/or any other applicable
state, federal and local electrical codes concerning
isolation switches, fused disconnects, etc.
