2 Safety
2.1 Intended use
The screw compressor SKL 1200 C is intended for the
installation in a superordinate system. The manufacturer of the
overall system must assess the new risks resulting from the
installation. These risks must be included in the operating
instructions of the system.
The compressor is intended exclusively for the compression of
filtered air.
Use the compressor only as intended.
All information in the installation and operating instructions must be
strictly observed (technical data, operating data, permissible
working range, see page 11).
All types of claims due to damage arising from improper use are
excluded. The operator alone shall be responsible for any damage
arising from improper use.
2.2 Acceptance and monitoring
The compressor itself is not subject to any acceptance and
monitoring obligation.
2.3 Operator's responsibility
See operating instructions "SKL 1200 C" for information about the
responsibility of the operating company.
2.4 Requirements placed upon the specialised staff
The mounting instructions specify the following qualification
requirements for the different fields of activity:
Specialists
are due to their technical training, knowledge and experience
and their knowledge of the pertinent regulations able to carry
out the work assigned to them and to independently recognize
potential hazards.
Electrical specialists
are, due to their technical training, knowledge and experiences
and their knowledge of the relevant standards and regulations,
able to work on electrical systems and to independently
recognize possible hazards.

instructions "SKL 1200 C", Chapter "Occupational safety".
2.7 Hazard symbols on the compressor
Depending on the installation situation of the compressor, it may
be necessary to mark the compressor and/or the components with
additional danger pictograms. The necessity results from the
danger analysis of the unit and/or vehicle manufacturer. These
pictograms can be for example:
DANGER!
General danger pictogram!
… denotes general dangerous situations for
individuals. Non-observance of the safety
instructions can result in severe injuries or
death. .
DANGER!
Danger of burns!
… denotes the presence of a hot surface.
DANGER!
Rotating parts!
… marks that potentially hazardous rotating parts
are present.

4.2 Function
Functional principle
Cleaned air is taken in via the air inlet flange A or B. Two screw rotors
compress the air completely dry. The rotors are running contact-free
both in relation to each other and to the casing. They are kept apart by
a synchronising gearbox. The compressed air reaches the consumer
via the air outlet flange.
Lubrication
Bearing and gearbox are supplied with gear oil via an oil filter by
means of an integrated oil pump.
Cooling
The heat is dissipated to the ambient air via the casing surface.
Drives
The drive is via an articulated shaft.
Sense of
rotation
SKL 1200 CR
The drive shaft's sense of rotation is clockwise when looking onto the
drive shaft.
SKL 1200 CL
The drive shaft's sense of rotation is counter-clockwise when looking

5.1 Safety notes for transport
Improper transport
Danger!
Danger by falling down or tilting of the
compressor!
The weight of the compressor may injure a person
and cause serious bruising!
Therefore:
–Depending on the dead weight and size of the
compressor, use a pallet on which the
compressor can be moved by means of a fork
lift.
–For lifting the compressor, use suitable lifting
gear (slings etc.) that is designed for the weight
of the compressor.
–When putting the slings in position, take care to
avoid putting stress on individual components.
–Only use the provided attachment points with
eye bolts.
Please also observe the safety notes in the operating instructions
"SKL 1200 C"!

5.2 Transport
The compressor must be transported with suitable lifting gear.
Ropes or belts should preferably be attached to the two eye bolts
(M10).
Fig. 4: Crane transport
For future transports
Seal all open connections with protective caps
(prevents penetration of dirt and water)
Secure against vibrations
Drain gear oil
Securely fasten the compressor prior to transport (e.g. screw
it onto a pallet)
Transport and put down the compressor with a fork lift or
secure with straps and lift with suitable lifting gear.

5.3 Storage
Storage of packages
Store packages under the following conditions:
Do not store outdoors.
Store dry and dust free.
Do not expose to aggressive media.
Protect against solar irradiation.
Avoid mechanical vibrations.
Storage temperature: -10…+60 °C
Relative humidity: max. 95%, non-condensing
If storage lasts longer than 3 months, regularly check the
general condition of all parts and of the packaging.
On compressors intended for export (overseas), bags with
desiccant are placed into the inlets and outlets. These bags
keep moisture away from the compressor's working
chambers. Remove bags before suction and pressure line
are connected.

must be of adequate load-carrying capacity and stiffness.
The two attachment points lying vertically on top of each
other are in one plane.
The third attachment point is set back by 15 mm or 45 mm
(see Fig. 1 footnote). Suitable spacer elements (see Fig. 5,
pos. 16) must be used for screwing.
The fastening screws must feature a sufficient clamping
length.
Requirements
upon the installation location
The installation location must fulfil the following requirements:
Protect from dirt, falling rocks and spray water.
Offer sufficient space for accidental contact protection.
Offer sufficient space for the connections of the suction and
pressure lines.
Ensure good legibility of the instruments.
be accessible for maintenance and repair work e.g. for
replacing the oil filter, or for checking the safety and non-
return valve.
Installation position
The pressure flange must point upwards.
Mount the compressor horizontally or with an inclination (see
table 1) according to the inclination of the auxiliary drive.
