Installation Requirements
The information in this section is very important for
proper operation of the system. Read these
requirements before beginning installation.
Before installing the RAPTAIR MF, examine the possible locations
and consider the following factors when selecting a location:
•
Hose lengths will be the shortest possible and a minimum
number of 90 degree fittings will be used
•
Oil level at the sight glass can be checked easily
•
Sufficient clearance around the unit for good air circulation
and effective cooling
•
Can it be serviced easily without having to disconnect lines or
remove and reposition the unit (service panel is accessible
and can be removed).
•
Protected from excessive exposure to the elements and
possible incidental damage from other operations
•
Away from heat sources such as engines, exhaust systems
or other components that generate heat
•
Not in a location where it will be exposed to high
contamination levels, including combustible gases
•
Exhaust can be routed away from coolers to open air and not
orientated in a way that it will fill up with rain (or exhaust
flapper installed).
•
Ensure the RAPTAIR MF is grounded to the truck
chassis/frame and the truck is properly grounded when using
the generator.
2.1
Air Receiver Requirements
A reservoir tank is recommended and required for
automatic shutdown of the air compressor system.
The reservoir tank needs to be a minimum of 5 gal and rated to 200
psi for the air compressor automatic shutdown to operate properly.
A larger reservoir tank is recommended if possible to allow for longer
and more frequent engine shutdown and less air pressure lag to the
operator.
