Splash Lubricated, Air Compressor Pumps
3. If acid is used in operating environment or air is dust laden, pipe intake to outside, fresh air. Increase pipe
size by one size for every 20 feet of run. Be sure to install protective hood around intake filter.
4. In operating environments where excessive water, oil, dirt, acid or alkaline fumes are present, a TEFC
(totally enclosed, fan cooled) motor is recommended. Check nameplate for motor type.
5. Allow sufficient space around compressor pump for maintenance access. Mount unit with pulley towards wall
and leave a minimum of 15 inches of clearance.
6. Use shims to level compressor if installation area is not flat. This will avoid excessive vibration and premature
pump wear.
1.
Install appropriate flow-limiting valves as necessary according to pipe size(s) used and run lengths. This will
reduce pressure in case of hose failure, per OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.302(b)(7).
2. Flow-limiting valves are listed by pipe size and rated CFM. Select appropriate valves accordingly, in
accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
1.
Place tank feet on 1/4” thick rubber pads. Thicker padding will increase vibration and the possibility of
cracking the tank or other unit damage.
Do not place unit on dirt floor or uneven surface.
2. Fasten anchor bolts snugly but do not overtighten so normal vibration will not damage unit.
1.
Mount pump to deck of tank then connect main feed port to check valve in tank. See figure 1.
2. For units with centrifugal unloader system, install 1/4” copper tubing from 90˚ elbow (located in front of
crankcase) to the unloader port of check valve.
DANGER
Compressor unit is top heavy and must be bolted to solid, flat surface
to avoid falling and premature pump wear. Splash lubrication will not
operate properly if unit is not level.
NOTE: If pump is not equipped with centrifugal
unloader, install an unloader line from the check
valve unloader port to the unloader port of the
pressure switch. This will relieve head pressure
when unit stops and provide no-load restarting.
