SELECTING A LOCATION
GENERAL
Select a clean, dry, well-lighted area with plenty of ventilation
proper cooling air ow and accessability. Locate the unit
atleast 12 inches (30 cm) from walls. Ensure that the unit is as
level as possible to avoid fuel spillage.
TEMPERATURE
Ideal operating temparatures are between
40 °F to 100 °F (4 °C to 37.8 °C). In lower temperatures, you
must protect safety/relief valves and drain valves from
freezing.
HUMID AREAS
In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in the bare
pump and produce sludge in the lubricant, causing running
parts to wear out prematurely. Excessive moisture is especially
likely to occur if the unit is located in an unheated area
that is subjected to large temperature changes. Two signs
of excessive humidity are external condensation on the
bare pump when it cools down and a milky appearance in
petroleum compressor lubricant. You may be able to prevent
moisture from forming in the bare pump by increasing
ventilation or operating for longer intervals.
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
Consult local ocials for information regarding acceptable
noise levels in your area. To reduce excessive noise, use
vibration mounts or intake silencers, relocate the unit or
construct total enclosure or bae walls. Consult your dealer
for assistance.
INSTALLING THE ISOLATOR PADS
1. Install isolater pads (A) on all four feet with self-tap
screws (B).
2. Hand tighten screws.
INSTALLING THE INLET AIR FILTER
CAUTION
Do not operate without air inlet lter.
Install the air inlet lter at the inlet connection at the bare
pump. If heavy duty lteration is required, contact your dealer
for information.
INSTALLING DISCHARGE PIPING
If it is necessary to install air discharge piping or condensate
discharge piping, adhere to the following general guidelines.
Contact your dealer for more information.
WARNING
Do not use plastic pipe, rubber hose or lead-tin
soldered joints anywhere in the compressed air
system.
WARNING
If an after-cooler, check valve, block valve, or any
other restriction is added to the compressor discharge,
install a properly-sized ASME approved safety/relief
valve between the compressor discharge and the
restriction.
CAUTION
If you will be using Ingersoll Rand Synthetic
Lubricant all downstream piping material and
system components must be compatible. Refer to the
following compatability list. If there are incompatible
materials present in your system, or there are
materials not included in the list, contact your dealer.
