INSTALLATION
11
4.1 LOCATION OF COMPRESSOR
The ES--6 Series compressor package may be
placed on any level surface able to support its
weight. The unit should be bolted to a fixed mounting
surface to avoid the possibility of externally applied
forces or vibration which would disturb the piping or
wiring.
4.2 VENTILATION AND COOLING
Select a location to permit sufficient unobstructed
air flow in and out of the compressor to keep the op-
erating temperature stable. The minimum distance
that the machine should be from surrounding walls
is what is needed for service and three (3) feet
(914mm) or more from the fan air discharge end of
the compressor.
4.3 SERVICE AIR PIPING
Service air piping should be installed as shown in
. A s hut -- off v alv e s hould be ins t alled t o
isolate the compressor from the service line. Also
notice that the service line should be equipped with
water legs and condensate drains throughout the
system.
WARNING
!
“The Plastic Pipe Institute recommends against
the use of thermoplastic pipe to transport com-
pressed air or other compressed gases in ex-
posed above ground locations, e.g. in exposed
plant piping.” (I)
Sullube 32 should not be used with PVC piping
systems. It may affect the bond at cemented
joints. Certain other plastic materials may also be
affected.
(I) Plastic Pipe Institute, Recommendation B, Adopted January
19, 1972.
4.4 FLUID LEVEL CHECK AND CHANGE PROCE-
DURE
The Sullair air compressor is equipped with the
proper amount of fluid. However, it is necessary to
check the fluid level at installation. The level is
checked by looking at the fluid level sight glass lo-
c at ed on t he end bell. S ee
If the sump is properly filled, the fluid level should
cover 1/4 to 1/2 of the sight glass during operation.
DO NOT OVERFILL
.
WARNING
!
Before attempting compressor maintenance, dis-
connect compressor from power source and lock
out power source. Isolate compressor from line
pressure by closing recommended discharge
shutoff valve and releasing all internal pressure
from compressor.
WARNING
!
Assure that line pressure guage on compressor
indicates “ZERO” pressure before any work is
done. Failure to comply may cause injury.
When the compressor fluid is ready to be changed,
the compressor needs to be shutdown with the pow-
er to the compressor disconnected (see Warning
above). Drain the fluid from the compressor using
