LOCATION OF THE COMPRESSOR
OUTFIT
Engine exhaust contains toxic carbon
monoxide. Operate the engine in a well
ventilated area only. If inhaled, it can
cause dizziness, unconsciousness and
possibly death.
The air compressor outfit should be located as close
as possible to the point where the compressed air is
to be used. The area selected should be dry, clean,
cool, and well ventilated. Make certain that the outfit
is mounted level on a solid foundation so no strain is
imposed on the support feet or base. Keep the outfit
away from areas which have dirt, vapor, and volatile
fumes in the atmosphere which may clog and gum
the intake filter and valves causing inefficient opera-
tion. Where this is not practical a remote air intake
is recommended.
NOTE
Where a remote air intake is used, enlarge
the size of the air intake piping by one pipe
size for each 10 feet of length.
The flywheel side of the outfit should be placed toward
the wall and protected with a totally enclosed belt guard.
In no case should the flywheel be closer than 12 to 18
inches from the wall or other obstruction that will inter-
fere with the flow of air through the fan bladed fly-
wheel. The area should allow space on all sides for air
circulation and for ease of normal maintenance.
The compressor outfit must not be
operated in any confined area where
heat from the outfit cannot readily es-
cape. Damage to the outfit may result.
INSTALLATION
VIBRATION MOUNTING KIT
(Stationary Compressor Outfits)
Bolting legs to a stiff surface can cause
tank rupture resulting in serious injury or
damage. Do not permanently mount
compressor to any surface without using
the vibration mount kit.
Stationary outfits must be bolted or lagged to the
floor to prevent movement. When lagging down, leave
a minimum of 1/8 inch between the bolt and support
feet. The use of vibration pads at each support foot
is required to eliminate the possibility of tank
rupture.
1. Using the holes in the air tank support legs as
a guide, mark and drill four 5/16 inch diameter
holes in the mounting surface.
2. Insert the vibration mounts under the mounting
holes. Place a flat washer under the mounting
surface and secure each mount with a
lockwasher and nut. See Figure 1.
