Clarke XE15/150 Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION

Before installing your machine, check that its air output is sufficient for the
equipment to be used. The air output from the compressor must be more than
the volume of air required. We recommend the following:
1. Firm and level site, and the use of floor mountings for stationary
compressors - anti-vibration pads. (Do not bolt machines directly to the
floor).
WARNING: MOVE THE COMPRESSOR ON A PALLET OR USING SLINGS
BENEATH THE RECEIVER NEAR TO THE DOMED ENDS, EMPLOYING A FORK
LIFT TRUCK OR WHEELED GANTRY CRANE. BEWARE OF OFF CENTRE
LOADS. THE WEIGHT OF THE COMPRESSOR IS SHOWN ON THE DATA TABLE
ON PAGE 2.
2. Dust and damp free environment.
3. Adequate ventilation for:-
• Air intake to compressor pump (in order to draw in clean air).
• Cooling to compressor pump, and electric motor.
4. To allow sufficient access for servicing, a minimum clearance of 500mm
must be allowed around the machine.
5. The power cable from the main supply must be large enough to carry the
starting and running load of the electric motor. This is particularly relevant if
the compressor is some distance from the source of supply.
6. Electrical installations should be completed by a qualified electrician.
7. Electrical connection to the mains supply must be via a suitably fused (see
table on page 6) approved plug or isolator (allowing sufficient capacity for
motor starting). If using a circuit breaker, ensure it is motor rated and of
sufficient size to allow for motor starting.
8. Compressors should be connected to mains electricity supply via an earth
leakage protection device (RCD).
