SELECTINGA LOCATION
GENERAL° Select a clean, dry, welt-lighted indoor area with plenty
of space far proper cooling air flow and accessibility. Locate the unit
at least 12 inches (30 cm) from wails, and make sure the main
power supply is clearly identified and accessible
TEMPERATURE.. Ideal operating temperatures are between 32"F
and 100°F (0°C and 37.B_C) If temperatures consistently drop
below 32°F (0"C), locale the unit inside a heated building !f th_s is
not possible, you must protect safety!relief valves and drain valves
from freezing
CAUTION Never operate in temperatures below 20°F (_6.6°C)
or above 125°F (5t.0°C)..
HUMID AREAS. In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in
the bare pump and produce sfudge 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
subject to large temperature changes Two signs of excessive
humidity are external condensation on the bare pump when it cools
down and a "_mllky_appearance in petroleum compressor lubricant
You may be able to prevent moisture from forming in the bare pump
by increasing ventilation, operating for longer intervals or installing
acrankcase heater kit
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS Consull local officials [or information
regarding acceptable noise levels in your area To reduce excessive
noise, use vibralion isolator pads or intake silencers, relocate the
unit or construct total enclosures or baffle waits
PERMANENT MOUNTING
WARNING Remove the unit from the skid before mounting..
The unit must be permanently mounted When mounting the unit.
bait the feet to a firm. fevel foundation (such as a concrete floor)
Do not bolt uneven feet tight}y to the foundation, as this will cause
excessive stress on the receiver tank Use metal shims under the
"short" feet if necessary

INSTALLING THE A!R INLET FILTER
CAUTION Do not operate the unit without the air inlet filter(s).
If the air around the unit is relatively free of dirt, instant the air inter
filter(s) at the inlet conneclion(s) at the bare pump. If remote air
inlet piping or heavy duty filtration is required, contact your dealer
for information
INSTALLING DISCHARGE PIPING
If it is necessary to install air discharge and condensate discharge
piping, adhere to the following genera{ guidelines Conlact your
dee]or for more _nformation
_WARNING
,_.WARNING
z_ CAUTION
Do net use plastic pipe, rubber hose, or lead4in
soldered joints anywhere in the compressed air
system
If an afteroeoler, check valve, block vafve, er any
other restriction is added to the compressor
discharge, install aproperly*sized ASME approved
safetytrelief valve between the compressor
discharge and the restriction.
If you will be using Ingerso!l-Rand synthetic
compressor lubricant, all downstream piping
material and system components must be
compatible Refer to the following material
compatibility list If there are incompatible materials
present in your system, or if there are materials net
included in the Hst, contact your dealer or cab

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.. The piping, fittings, receiver tank.
etc must be certified safe for at least Ihe maximum working
pressure of the unit Use herd-welded or threaded steel or copper
pipes and cast iron fittings that are certified safe for the unit's
discharge pressure and temperature DO NOT USE PVC PLASTIC
Use pipe thread sealant on all threads, and make up joints tightly to
prevent air feaks
CONDENSATE DISCHARGE PIPING If inslalltng a condensate
discharge line, the piping must be at Ieast one size larger than the
connection, as short and direct as possible, secured tighBy and
routed to a suitable drain point Condensate must be disposed of in
accordance wffh local, state, and federal laws and regulations
NOTE All compressed air systems generate condensate
which accumulates In any drain point (e.go tanks,
filters, drip legs, affercoolers, dryers). This
condensate contains lubricating oil and/or
substances which may be regulated and must be
disposed of in accordance with local, state, and
federal laws and regulations..
