5.2 - HANDLING
After separating the compressor from its packaging it can be transported to the designated placement area.
Transfer will require the use of a fork-lift truck or transpallet (of suitable load-bearing capacity): the forks must
be inserted in the feet of the europallet on which the compressor is positioned. The compressor has runners
for handling with fork-lift trucks or transpallets.
5.3 - INSTALLATION
- Position the compressor in the designated area and check it is level. For compressor dimensions please
consult section 4.1.8 “Dimensions and weights”.
- Check that the area in which the compressor is to be positioned is adequately ventilated: good air
exchange (more than one window), no dust and no risk of explosion, corrosion or fire.
- If ambient temperatures exceed 45°C air conditioning will be necessary.
- Position the compressor no closer than 1 m to surrounding walls; the gap between compressor and
ceiling should be at least 1.5 m. These distances ensure proper compressor operation and proper cooling
of the pumping unit.
- Make sure that lighting in the area is sufficient to identify every detail (such as the writing on the info
labels); use artificial lighting where daylight is on its own insufficient.
Before proceeding with the installation tasks described below, read Chapter 3 “SAFETY
REGULATIONS” carefully.
WARNING:
Compressors used on board boats can be certified via a R.I.Na (Registro Navale Italiano) test; this test
should be explicitly requested at the time of order.
