Compressed air
contains liquid water and is saturated with water vapor, which can
freeze when surrounding temperatures are lower than 32
o
F (0
o
C). Component selection
to minimize the effects of water vapor must be considered.
- Do not touch any component inside compressor enclosure or on the discharge piping
when the compressor is operating or immediately after it has stopped. The components
are extremely hot and can cause severe injury. Before servicing the compressor,
disconnect the power and wait for its components to cool down.
Section 2 - Receiving
Your compressor is inspected at the factory and packaged to protect against shipping damage. When the compressor is
unpacked, inspect for damage or missing parts. All claims should be settled directly with the freight company.
- Do not operate this compressor if damaged during shipment, handling or use. Any
damage may result in failure and cause injury or property damage.
Section 3 - Installation Location
Locate the compressor in a clean, well ventilated area where air is relatively cool, clean and dry. A 104°F (40°C) maximum
and 40°F (4°C) minimum temperature for surrounding and inlet air are recommended. Provide at least 12 to 18 inches of
clearance from any wall or other obstruction that will interfere with airflow over and through the compressor. Blocking airflow
through the fan may cause the compressor to overheat. Do not place the compressor in an area of excessive heat, such as
near a boiler.
Section 4 - Mounting
4.1 General Information
QRM2- Series Riser mounted units may be mounted to a fire sprinkler system riser with a riser mounting bracket. A riser
mounting bracket and (3) straps are provided. Both tank and tank-less riser mounted units should be connected with a flex
hose (Ordered Separately). The flex hose (P/N 6872000000) must be installed between the compressor or tank outlet and
service piping.
The compressor must be mounted in
a flat, level, horizontal orientation. The “L” shaped bracket is provided to ensure this. The
compressor is shipped mounted to the “L” bracket using rubber mounts. This can then be directly mounted and fastened to
the flat riser bracket provided with straps.
