Receiving and uncrating your compressor

Before uncrating the compressor the following steps should be taken. 

Immediately upon receipt of the equipment, it should 1. be inspected for 

damage that may have occurred during shipment. If any damage is found, 

demand an inspection immediately by an inspector from the carrier. Ask 

him how to file a claim for damages. (See Appendix “A” for Details).

2. Insure that adequate lifting equipment is available for moving the 

machinery.

3. Read the compressor nameplate to be sure the compressor is the 

model and size ordered.

4. Read the motor nameplate to be sure the motor is compatible with 

your electrical conditions. (Volts-Phase-Hertz).

NOTE

Standard motors are open drip proof with a maximum ambient temperature 

rating of 104 degrees F. They are not suitable for salt laden, corrosive, dirty, 

wet, or explosive environments.

CAUTION

Improper lifting can result in component or system damage or personal injury. 

Follow good shop practices and safety procedures

IMPORTANT:

 

If voltage supplied to the compressor is below 208 volts the 

unit need a 200 Volt drive motor. Motors rated at 208-230-460 Volt should not 

be used below 208 volts.
