UP6RD–5–175, UP6RM–5–175, UP6RD–5–175
Use suitable lifting equipment (i.e. forklift) to lift and transport the
compressor to the installation site. Ensure the lifting equipment, straps,
etc. are capable of supporting the weight of the compressor.
Ensure that the correct fork lift truck slots or marked lifting / tie down
points are used whenever the compressor is lifted or transported.
A Fork lift
B Lifting straps
UNPACKING
The compressor will normally be delivered with a polythene cover.
If a knife has to be used to remove this cover ensure that the exterior
paintwork of the compressor is not damaged.
Ensure that all transport and packing materials are discarded.
Enclosed compressors are shipped with shipping blocks to protect
the vibration mounts. The front panel needs to be removed by
unscrewing the 4 captive fasteners. The two wooden blocks are
between the subbase and the bottom panel. These can be loosened
after unscrewing and removing the two shipping screws underneath
the bottom panel. Unscrewing the two shipping screws will release the
subbase and will then be supported on the vibration mounts. DO NOT
RUN THE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT REMOVING THE SHIPPING
BLOCKS AND SHIPPING SCREWS.
A. Shipping screws both ends [2]
B. Wooden shipping blocks [2]
LOCATION IN THE PLANT
WARNING FOR COMPRESSORS EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRIC
DRAIN VALVE
WARNING
The electric drain valve incorporates arcing or sparking parts, such
as snap switches, receptacles and the like that tend to produce arcs or
sparks and, therefore, when located in a garage, the compressor
should be in a room or enclosure provided for the purpose, or the
electric drain valve should be 18 inches (457 mm) or more above the
floor.
Consult local officials for information regarding acceptable noise
levels in your area. Enclosed compressors are available for low noise
applications.
The compressor must be permanently mounted to a firm, level floor
capable of supporting it. Ensure that the compressor is positioned
securely and on a stable foundation. Any risk of movement should be
removed by suitable means, especially to avoid strain on any rigid
discharge piping.
WARNING
Remove the compressor from the skid before mounting.
When mounting the compressor, install bolts through the mounting
feet and into the mounting surface. Do not bolt uneven feet tightly to the
foundation, as this will cause excessive stress on the receiver tank.
Use metal shims to level the compressor if necessary.
