In order to receive maximum performance and long life from your compressor, the following
instructions should be read carefully and all points regarding installation and operation of the
unit should be noted and observed. Carefully reading this manual before connecting anything
to the motor or compressor is necessary for optimum trouble-free operation.
Inspection
Check for possible damage from transit and test the pulley by turning it freely with your hands.
Report any damage to the delivery carrier immediately.
Location
Select a clean, dry, and well-lit location. In cold climates, the compressor should be installed in
a heated building. Insulate cold water or other low temperature pipes that pass overhead to
avoid possible collection and dripping of condensate onto the compressor and motor that could
cause rust and/or motor shorting. Do not install the compressor in a boiler room, paint spray
room, or area where sandblasting occurs. If acid or dust is in the air where the compressor is
operating, the compressor intake should be piped to the outside. This intake pipe should be
increased one pipe size for every twenty (20) feet of run and the intake filter should be installed
at the end of the pipes with a hood to protect them from the elements. Special size filters are
required for pipe away.
If the compressor has to be located where the motor will be exposed to appreciable quantities
of water, oil, dirt, acid, or alkaline fumes, the motor must be of special construction to avoid
rapid deterioration; i.e. TEFC
Unless the base is exactly level, shims will probably be required. Any space between base and
foot should be shimmed rather than drawing the foot down thus placing strain on the unit.
When unit is properly shimmed, vibration will be at a minimum.
Allow sufficient space around the compressor so that it is accessible from all sides for
maintenance. Mount the unit with the pulley towards the wall at least 18 inches between
pulley & wall.
POWER SUPPLY AND WIRING
Installation should be executed by a licensed electrician
All electrical connections must be tightened before starting. This includes
connections at the motor junction as well as the Condor Switch or Magnetic
starter. This shall include all factory connections. Repeat: Check all electrical
connections before startup.
Wiring should be installed by a licensed electrician who is familiar with requirements of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters and of the local inspectors is recommended. Consult your
local electrical contractor regarding electric codes and recommended wire sizes.
