3.1 Remove compressor from packaging and inspect for any

shortages or damage. If anything is found to be missing or
damaged contact your supplier.

3.2 Save the packing material for future transportation of the
compressor. We recommend that you store the packing in a
safe location, at least for the period of the guarantee. Then, if
necessary, it will be easier to send the compressor to the
service centre.

3.3 Assemble the two xed wheels and the castor wheel to the
SAC11003 as shown in g.1.

3.4 Confirm that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage
shown on the compressor data plate.

3.5 Site in a well ventilated place, protected against atmospheric
pollution and not in a place subject to explosion hazard. If the
surface is inclined and smooth, check if the compressor moves
while in operation – if it does, secure the wheels with two
wedges. If the surface is in a raised position, make sure it
cannot fall, securing it in a suitable way.

3.6. STORING THE PACKED AND UNPACKED COMPRESSOR.

. If the compressor is not to be unpacked immediately store it in
a dry place at a temperature between +5°C and +40°C and
sheltered away from the weather. If the compressor is not
used immediately after unpacking it, place sheets over it to
protect it from dust, which may settle on the components.
The oil is to be replaced and the operational efficiency of the
compressor is to be checked if it is not used for long periods.
