INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
coolers. Do not use unit to lift other attached equipment.
Picking the Location
Install and operate unit at least 18 inches from any obstructions in a
clean, well ventilated area. The surrounding air temperature should
not exceed 100° F. This will ensure an unobstructed flow of air to
cool compressor and allow adequate space for maintenance.
or any other source of contamination.
NOTE: If compressor operates in a hot, moist environment, supply
compressor pump with clean, dry outside air. Supply air should be
piped in from external sources.

Model shown may not be exact model and is used to
demonstrate need for minimum 18 inch spacing around
compressor.
Tank Mounting
The tank should be bolted into a flat, even, concrete floor or on a
separate concrete foundation. Vibration isolators should be used
between the tank leg and the floor. Model 2LVP7 isolator pads are
recommended for horizontal units. Isolator pads are included with
fully packaged models.
When using isolator pads, do not draw bolts tight. Allow the pads
to absorb vibrations. When isolators are used, a flexible hose or
coupling should be installed between the tank and service piping.
possible bursting.
Piping
Any tube, pipe or hose connected to the unit must be able to withstand the temperature generated and retain
the pressure. All pressurized components of the air system must have a pressure rating of 200 psi or higher.
Incorrect selection and installation of any tube, pipe or hose could result in bursting and injury. Connect piping
system to tank using the same size fitting as the discharge port.
Disconnect, tag and lock out power source then release all pressure from the
system before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
Do not lift or move unit without appropriately rated equipment. Be sure the unit is
securely attached to lifting device used. Do not lift unit by holding onto tubes or
Never use the wood shipping skids for mounting the compressor.
Do not locate the compressor air inlet
near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas
Failure to properly install the tank can
lead to cracks at the welded joints and
Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed air. Serious injury or death could
result.
