Plumbing

To prevent air flow restriction, use pipes and fittings of the same size or larger than the barbed or threaded ports. Note that the ports are not designed to support plumbing.

Accessories

nstall gauges in the lines to monitor performance. A relief

I valve can be installed at the inlet or outlet or both. Consult a Gast representative for performance limitations.

If operating in a dirt contaminated atmosphere, a suitable filter should be used to ensure long service.

otor Control

M It is your responsibility to contact a qualified electrician and assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with all national and local codes and ordinances.

All electric motors generate heat. To avoid serious burns, never touch unit during or immediately after operation. Always disconnect power source before servicing. Do not block the flow of cooling air over the motor in any way. Keep the air flow vents free of foreign objects, dirt, lint, etc.

Electrical Connection

INSTALLATION

Correct installation is your responsibility. Make sure you

have the proper installation conditions and that installation clearances do not block air flow.

Blocking air flow over the product in any way can cause the product to overheat.

Twin Series AC units must be installed with an external cooling system or fan. Overheating can occur due to insufficient cooling air.

Mounting

This product can be installed in any orientation. Mounting the product to a stable, rigid operating surface and using shock mounts will reduce noise and vibration.

In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product may be equipped with a power supply cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are not sure whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Model that is permanently wired:

This product must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding terminal or lead on the product.

Power supply wiring must conform to all required safety codes and be installed by a qualified person. Check that supply voltage agrees with that listed on product nameplate.

OPERATION

An undersized cord is a potential fire hazard, and will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power causing the product to overheat. The table indicates the correct size cord for length required and the ampere rating listed on the product nameplate. If in doubt, use

the next heavier gage cord. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the wire gage.

It is your responsibility to operate this product at recommended pressures or vacuum duties and room ambient temperatures. Do not start against a vacuum or pressure load.

Start Up

If motor fails to start or slows down significantly under load, shut off and disconnect from power supply. Check that the voltage is correct for motor.
