Installation
3.1 General
The screw compressor must only be installed and started by trained
personnel. Damage due to improper handling is not covered by the
manufacturers warranty.
The machine is delivered completely assembled
Ensure that the drive shaft rotates freely; if not, do not force the shaft, please
inform our service department.
When selecting the machine mounting position, the following points should
be considered:
• Access to oil fill/level and drain plugs
• Adequate clearance to allow the cooling air to circulate around the
machine.
• Allow sufficient space for the installation of the Inlet and discharge lines,
including discharge silencer, if fitted.
• The machine should be protected from dust, flying stones and water
splashes.
• Install away from sources of heat, e.g. vehicle exhaust or hot pipes that
could effect the compressor temperature in any way.
• Venting relief/control valve air must be unobstructed and direct to the
atmosphere.
• Fit the relief and/or protection control valves as close as possible to the
SC200 discharge port.
• Venting valves must be positioned so that hot air cannot vent onto the
operator or the compressor
• Silencers should be fitted to the discharge port.
• Machine should be easily accessible for maintenance.
For the recommended layout of the machine and ancillaries see Pages 24 & 25.
Do not lift using other parts of
the machine.
