INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Abide by all applicable state, local and regulations when mounting and
installing the compressor. Failure to do so may result in injury or death
and will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Contact your local government
for more information.
CAUTION!
Improper lifting can result in component or system damage or personal injury.
Follow good shop practices and safety procedures when moving the unit.
Receiving
Immediately upon receipt of compressor equipment and prior to completely uncrating, the
following steps should be taken:
1. Inspect compressor equipment for damage that may have occurred during shipment. If any
damage is found, demand an inspection from the carrier. Ask the carrier how to file a claim
for shipping damages. (Refer to FREIGHT DAMAGE for complete details.) Shipping
damage is not covered by FS Curtis’s compressor warranty.
2. Ensure that adequate lifting equipment is available for moving the compressor equipment
and clear a path to the installation location to avoid damage to property or compressor.
3. Turn off & lock out the electrical disconnect switch before working on the unit to prevent the
unit from starting unexpectedly.
4. Read the outfit nameplate to verify the model and size ordered.
5. Read the motor nameplate to be sure the motor is compatible with your electrical conditions
(volts, phase, and hertz).
6. Read the pressure relief valve nameplate to be sure it does not exceed the working
pressure of the compressor or any other component in the system.
7. Read and understand the safety precautions contained within this manual. The successful
and efficient operation of compressor equipment depends largely upon the amount of care
taken to install and maintain the equipment. FS Curtis strongly recommends that any or all
person(s) in charge of installing, maintaining, or servicing one of our compressors read and
understand the entire contents of this manual and the respective compressor installation
and operating instruction manual in order to perform such duties safely and efficiently.
8. Remove all packing plastic, foam and shipping related materials.
