Installation Requirements
The information in this section is very important for proper
operation of the compressor. Read these requirements
before beginning installation.
When determining a mounting location for the Gas Engine Driven 30 CFM Air
Compressor, ensure the following conditions are met:
•
The fuel shut off valve is easily accessible (the fuel valve must be shut off
when the unit is not in use, including during transport).
•
The sight glass, oil drain and filters on the WHASP Tank are easily
accessible for service.
•
The belt guard is accessible and can be removed for service.
•
The engine oil drain, oil fill, fuel fill, and air filter are easily accessible for
service (the VMAC Remote Oil Drain accessory can help facilitate
servicing the engine and compressor oil P/N: A500043).
•
There is adequate access to cool fresh air for optimum engine
performance.
•
There is sufficient clearance around the unit for good air circulation and
effective cooling.
•
The unit is mounted in a position where hot air and exhaust will not
recirculate back into the system.
•
The unit is protected from damage and excessive exposure to the
elements.
•
The unit is away from heat sources such as engines, exhaust systems or
other components that generate heat.
•
The unit is not in a location where it will be exposed to high contamination
levels, including combustible gases.
•
The exhaust is routed to open air and not orientated in a way that will fill
with rain.
