Operating Instructions & Parts Manual
Model 2EPN7
Installation
Do not operate
unit if damaged during shipping,
handling or use. Operating unit if
damaged may result in injury.
1. Permanently installed
compressors must be located in
a clean, well ventilated dry room
so compressor receives
adequate supply of fresh, clean,
cool and dry air. It is
recommended that a
compressor, used for painting,
be located in a separate room
from that areawherein body
sanding and painting is done.
Abrasive articles or paint, found
to haveclogged the air intake
filters and intake valves, shall
automatically void warranty.
2. Compressors should never be
located so close to a wall or
other obstruction that flow of air
through the fan bladed flywheel,
which cools the compressor, is
impeded. Permanently mounted
units should have flywheel at
least 12" from wall.

3. Place stationary compressors on
firm level ground or flooring.
Permanent installations require
bolting to floor, and bolt holes in
tank or base feet are provided.
Before bolting or lagging down,
shim compressor level. Avoid
putting a stress on a tank foot by
pulling it tightly down to floor. This
will only result in abnormal
vibration, and possible cracking of
air receiver. As an alternative,
install unit on optional vibro-
isolator pads. Tanks bolted
directly to a concrete floor without
padding will not be warranted
against cracking.
4. Diesel engine powered units
installed indoors must have
proper engine exhausting out
of building.
Do not install
isolating valves between
compressor outlet and air receiver.
This will cause excessive pressure
if valve is closed and cause injury
and equipment damage.

Air Line Piping
Connection to air system should
be of the same size, or larger, than
discharge pipe out of unit. The
table gives recommended
minimum pipe sizes. A union
connection to the unit and water
drop leg is recommended.
Install a flexible connector between the
discharge of the unit and the plant air
piping. Plant air piping should be
periodically inspected for leaks using a
soap and water solution fordetection on
all pipe joints. Air leaks waste energy
and are expensive.
