SETTING UP AND CONNECTING
SETTING UP
Set the compressor up in a cool, dry place.
To dampen noise and vibration, we recommend the
use of damping rubber elements or oscillating metal
parts.
PLEASE PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO
THE FOLLOWING:
•
The air receiver should be easily accessible from
all sides.
•
The distance between the ventilation wheel on the
machine and the nearest wall must never be less
than 400 mm.
•
The surface on which the compressor stands must
be level and capable of bearing the weight.
•
The ambient temperature must lie b5°C
and +40°C.
•
The room in which the compressor stands must be
adequately ventilated.
•
The suction air must be clean. Caustic, combusti-
ble or poisonous gases must not be suctioned.
•
The filter insert of the air suction filter has a
separation degree of 10
µ
m. All particles of more
than 10
µ
m are filtered out of the suction air.
Smaller particles can pass through the filter. If the
compressor is operated in a place where fine dusts
exisit (cement plant ,gravel plant or building sites
etc.) an optional filter insert with a separation
degree of 3
µ
m must be used.
