5. Wear safety glasses and use hearing protection when operating the unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the unit as a handhold.
7. Periodic inspection and test of this equipment is required. Consult your installer and local codes to
meet all requirements.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness.

1.3 Safety Notes

- This compressor is not equipped and should NOT be used “as is” to supply breathing
quality air.

- Motors, electrical equipment and controls can cause electrical arcs that will ignite
flammable gas or vapor. Never operate or repair in or near flammable gas or vapor.
Never store flammable liquids or gasses near the compressor.

- These compressors are suitable for pumping only atmospheric air. As defined in
Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet G-7, page 3, atmospheric air is a mixture of
elements and compounds where nitrogen and oxygen comprise more than 99% with all
other trace gasses comprising less than 1%. Do not use this compressor in
contaminated environments or for pumping mixtures other than atmospheric air.

- Compressed air contains liquid water and is saturated with water vapor, which can
freeze when surrounding temperatures are lower than 32oF (0oC). Component selection
to minimize the effects of water vapor must be considered.

1-800-345-8207
Section 2 - Receiving
Your compressor is inspected at the factory and packaged to protect against shipping damage. When the compressor is
unpacked, inspect for damage or missing parts. All claims should be settled directly with the freight company.

- Do not operate this compressor if damaged during shipment, handling or use. Any
damage may result in failure and cause injury or property damage.

Section 3 - Installation Location


Locate the compressor in a clean, well ventilated area where air is relatively cool, clean and dry. A 110oF (35oC) maximum
and 40oF (4.5oC) minimum temperature for surrounding and inlet air are recommended. Provide at least 12 to 18 inches of
clearance from any wall or other obstruction that will interfere with airflow through the flywheel. The flywheel is located inside
the belt guard. Blocking airflow through the flywheel may cause the compressor to over heat. Do not place the compressor
in an area of excessive heat, such as near a boiler.

- DO NOT connect compressor intake to freezer room. Call 800-345-8207 for more
information.

Section 4 - Mounting
The compressor must be mounted to a firm level base. Permanent installations should be bolted to the base using the bolt
holes provided. Always shim the unit level before bolting it to the floor. Vibration isolators (Part #: KVP4X4) are included
with each compressor. When using vibration isolator pads, do not draw bolts tight. Allow the pads to absorb vibrations. It is
recommended that the supplied flexible hose (Part #: P3002MP) be installed between the compressor and service piping
to reduce vibration and the likelihood of damage to the compressor.

Section 5 - Lubrication
All tank models and all base models L620 and larger are shipped filled with specially formulated compressor oil (part #:
APC01Q). Spare oil is shipped in a marked container. This oil should be used to replace any oil lost in shipping and for
maintenance oil changes. Do not overfill the oil reservoir. Over-filling the reservoir will result in oil leaking from the reservoir
breather during operation.
Base models L200 to L425 are not filled with oil for shipment. Use the oil
Model Number Oil Volume shipped with these compressors to fill until sight glass is 1/2 to 2/3 full. Run
L(T)20033 8 ounces compressor briefly, recheck oil level and adjust if needed.

Section 6 - Piping

6.1 Piping Instructions

- Compressed air contains liquid water and is saturated with water vapor, which can
freeze when surrounding temperatures are lower than 32oF (0oC). Component
selection to minimize the effects of water vapor must be considered.

6.1.1 - All Lubricated Compressors:

Piping between the compressor, accessory items and the sprinkler system should be at least 1/2” internal diameter to
minimize pressure drop from the compressor to the system. Larger pipe size may be required by code and may be
substituted with no adverse effects. Smaller pipe size must not be used. Smaller pipe size will restrict the compressor flow,
lowering capacity and cause the compressor / motor to work harder which shortens the compressor / motor life. All piping
connected to the compressor must be fully supported and not transfer any loads to the compressor.

The compressor outlet piping should contain an accessible drain. As a minimum a manual drain may be used, but an
automatic drain (Part #: CDF2000) is recommended to remove excess water.

6.1.2 - On Base Mounted Units (L Series):

If an AMD-2 (General Air Products model air maintenance device) is used to operate the compressor motor, allow sufficient
distance between the compressor and AMD-2 to ensure that the maximum temperature at the AMD-2 is 200 oF or less. The
relief valve shipped with each unit must be installed between the compressor and AMD-2.

General Air Products recommends that all compressors 2 HP and larger are tank mounted. Failure to either tank mount
these compressors or to install according to the installation drawing (Section 6.2 of this manual), will cause overpressure of
the compressor and cause overheating of the motor.

- Failure to install a relief valve between the compressor and AMD can cause over
pressure of the compressor and blown head gaskets.

6.1.3 - On Tank Mounted Units (LT Series):

A relief valve is mounted on the compressor’s tank. This valve will open at a preset value above the pressure switch setting
to prevent excess tank pressure in the event of switch failure.

If an AMD-1 (General Air Products model air maintenance device) is used, allow sufficient distance between the compressor
and AMD-1 to ensure that the maximum at the AMD-1 is 200 oF or less.

A manual tank drain is provided on the bottom of each tank mounted compressor. Moisture accumulated in the tank must
be drained weekly. An automatic drain (Part #: CDF2000) is recommended in areas of high humidity.

- Do not attempt to change the safety relief valve setting.

- Accumulation of condensed water in the system can cause corrosion of components


and reduction of system capacity.

- Warranty is void if a separate check valve is not installed to prevent water backflow to
compressor.

Section 7 - Wiring
7.1 Wiring Instructions

- Wiring should be in accordance with the national electrical code and any local codes
or regulations. Have a competent electrician ensure that the voltage supplied matches
the compressor voltage.

- Inadequate wiring size can cause insufficient voltage at the compressor during start-
up. Overheating and damage can result to the motor and controls.

- Failure to use the pressure switch may result in overpressure of the compressor or
other components in the system. Overpressure of the compressor can result in blown
head gaskets or other damage.

The supply wire must be of adequate size and no other equipment should be connected to the same line. The table
below lists the recommended wire size for each model based on a 100’ run. Consult factory for longer runs.

Minimum Recommended Wire Size


Model # 1 Phase 3 Phase
L(T)20033 10 12
L(T)29050 8 12
L(T)36575 8 12

L(T)1600300 2 8
L(T)2000500 2 6
L(T)2500500 2 6

The motor must be wired to a pressure switch which controls starting (cut in pressure) and stopping (cut out pressure) of
the motor. All single phase units 2 hp and larger and all three phase units require a motor starter with overload protection
using the pressure switch to operate the starter to meet the NEC, NFPA70, Article 430 motor protection requirements.

The motors supplied are multiple voltage motors. Verify the internal motor leads are connected for the voltage being supplied
to the unit. To verify or change internal voltage connections remove the cover plate located on the rear side of the motor
and reconnect the wire leads as shown on the motor’s wiring diagram.

An arrow on the belt guard indicates the direction of the rotation of the compressor. If the compressor rotates in the opposite
direction, reverse the rotation of the motor. Direction of rotation of single phase motors is controlled by internal re-connection
of the motor leads as shown on the motors nameplate. Interchanging any two incoming supply wires reverses rotation of
three phase motors.

7.1.1 On Tank Mounted Units (LT Series):

The standard pressure switch is factory set at 45 psig cut in and 60 psig cut out. Higher settings may require a larger motor
on the compressor. Consult General Air Products by calling 800-345-8207 before adjusting the pressure switch.
