SELECTING A LOCATION
For most electric motor units, Select a relatively clean and dry
well lighted indoor area with plenty of space for proper
venfilat_on, cooling air flow and accessibility Provide 1,0O0
cubic feet of fresh air per 5 horsepower. Locate the unit at least
15 inches (38 cm) from walls, and make sure the main power
supply is clearly identified and accessible
Unless the elec,tncal components of the unit are specially
protected for outdoor use, do not install an electdc motor unit
outdoors or in an area that will expose the el_3tdcal
components to rain, snow or sources of appreciable moisture.
WARNING FOR UNITS EQUIPPED
WITH ELECTRIC DRAIN VALVE
_.WARNING The electric drain valve incorporates
arcing or sparking parts, such as snap
switches, receptacles and the like that
tend to produce
arcs or sparks and, therefore, when
located In a garage, the compressor
should be in a room or enclosure
provided for the purpose, or the electric
drain valve should be 18 inches
(457 rare) or more above the floor.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE CONSIDERATIONS. Ideal
operating temperatures are between 32°F and 100" F (O'C and
37.8°C). If temperatures consistently drop below 32"F (0°C),
install the compressor in a heated area. If this is not possible,
you must p rot_;t safety/relief valves and drain valves from
ffeezing, lf temperatures are consistently below 40°F (4 4"C ),
consider installing an extema_ crankcase heater kit, especially
if the compressor has difficulty starting
_.CAUTION Never operate the compressor in
temperatures below 20°F (6.6°C) or above
_04°F (40°C).
HUMID AREAS, [n frequently humid areas, moisture may form
in the pump and produce sludge in the lubricant, causing
running parts to wear out prematurel_ Excessive moisture is
especially likely to occur if the unit is located in an unheated
area that is subject to large temperature changes
Two signs of excessive humidity are external condensation on
the pump when it cools down and a _mi_ky" appearance in
petroleum lubricant.
You may be able to prevent moisture from forming in the pump
by increasing ventiJagon, operating for longer intewals or
installing an external crankcase heater kit.
NOISE CffiNSIDERATIONS Consult Iocalofflcials for
information regarding acceptable noise levels in your area To
reduce excessive noise, use vibratffin isolator pads or intake
silencers, relocate the unit or COnStruct to_l enclosures or
bafile walls.
MOUNTING
_, WARNING Remove the unit frore the skid before
mounting.
Bolt the unit to a firm, level foundation (such as a concrete
floor). Do not bolt uneven feet tightly to the foundation, as this
will cause excessive stress on the leceiver tank. Use metal
shims under the "short" feet if necessal_

INSTALLING REMOTE AIR INLET PIPING
_, CAUTION DO not operate the unit without air inlet
filtration.
If the air around the unit is relatively free of did, install the air
inlet filter at the inlet connection at the pump. If the air is dirty,
pipe the tilter to a source of clean air Use PVC plastic tubes
for remote inlet piping. DO not use black pipe or galvanized
pipe, as these promote sweating and rust Consider installing
an in line type filter for ease of denning and replacement
Make the line as short and direct as possible and as large, or
larger, than the diameter of the inlet connecUon on the pump.
Do not install piping with a diameter lower than that of the
pump intake
increase the pipe diameter one size for every 10 feet (3 m) of
length or every 90 ° bend Make sure the piping is adequately
braced.
if you pipe the filter outdoors, cover it with a hood to prevent the
entrance of rain or snow.
Heavy duty filter elements and filtration equipment are available
for fine airborne dust, such as cement and rock dust.
