MOUNTING/PLUMBING
1 . Unpack the system . Remove only the two (2) bolts holding the top Unistrut to the plywood using a ½” socket or wrench .
DO NOT remove the two (2) bottom bolts . The lower Unistrut is pre-installed on the compressor frame and simplifies the mounting process .
2 . Find the top Unistrut section in the packaging and install using the proper sized clamps for the riser pipe diameter .
2”, 2-½”, 3”, and 4” clamps are included with every unit . Use appropriate socket & channel locks/adjustable wrench to secure clamp bolt & nut (2”, 2-½”, & 3” = ½” & 4” = 9/16”) .
3 . Ensure there is enough space between the bolt head and
Unistrut to allow the system frame to mount in-between
4 . Grasping the system by the hand cutouts, carefully hang the frame on the Unistrut . Ensure both tabs on the frame are secured between the bolt heads and Unistrut .
5 . Using a 3/4” socket or wrench, tighten both bolts . Confirm the frame is securely attached to the Unistrut .
