Danger
.
The screw compressor unit must be lifted using a
suitable fork lift truck, which complies with the local
safety regulations.
Before lifting, all loose or slewable parts of the ma-
chine have to be firmly secured.
It is strictly prohibited to work or stand in the dan-
ger zone of a lifted load.
The proper lifting of the load (according to the ope-
rating instructions of the load suspension device)
has to be ensured.

Important
Never lift or lash the compressor via its enclosure.
The screw compressor is lifted with the help of a
fork lift truck (fig. 6). The separation of the forks and
their length must be taken into account for trans-
portation.
Only use the identified lifting points. Do not slide
the unit when it is standing on the floor.

Installation
Danger
.
• The foundation weight carrying capacity has to be
taken into account.
• Provide for a solid and plane base.
• The intakes are to be located so that no hazar-
dous constituent (solvent vapour, etc., but also
dusts and other hazardous material) can be suk-
ked in. This applies also to flying sparks.
• Pipes and/or other parts with a surface tempera-
ture higher than 70 °C have to be suitably identi-
fied and secured against touching. See also the
safety regulations in chapter 3 of the operating in-
structions.
Important
The operator has to provide adequate ventilation
for the compressor station.
The screw compressor unit has to be levelled.
A minimum distance from walls, other machines,
etc. should be maintained so that there is sufficient
clearance for maintenance and repair work (fig. 7).
During operation of the screw compressor unit,
heat is generated by the electric motor and the
compression process. The screw compressor ra-
diates a part of this heat into the surroundings.
Proper ventilation has a considerable effect on the
service life and the performance of a compressor.
