Section 3 • Installation

Delivery Inspection

All equipment supplied by Vilter are thoroughly inspect- ed at the factory. However, damage can occur in ship- ment. For this reason, the units should be thoroughly inspected upon arrival, prior to off-loading. Any dam- age noted should be photographed and reported im- mediately to the transportation company. This way, an authorized agent can examine the unit, determine the extent of damage and take necessary steps to rectify the claim with no serious or costly delays. At the same time, the local Vilter representative or the home office should be notified of any claims made within ten (10) days after its discovery. Refer to long term storage for additional recommendations.

Rigging and Lifting of Compressor

Unit

WARNING

Whenriggingandliftingacompressorunit,useproper lifting device capable of lifting and maneuvering the weight and size of the compressor unit. Use only qualified personnel and additional personnel and lifting equipment (i.e. spreader bar) as required. Failure to comply may result in death, serious injury

and/or damage to equipment.

Only qualified personnel shall operate rigging and lift- ing equipment. Ensure that the lifting device is capable of lifting the weight of the compressor unit, refer to the supplied Vilter General Assembly (GA) drawing.

To lift the compressor unit, use lifting points on com- pressor unit frame to attach the lifting device, see Figure 3-1. There are a few points to consider prior to moving the unit:

•Ensure that the weight is evenly distributed amongst the lifting device (i.e. lifting chains and spreader bar) prior to lifting.

•Ensure that the lifting device is not obstructed by any parts of the compressor unit to prevent damage to components.

•Use additional personnel as needed to spot and aid in maneuvering the compressor unit.

•Ensure there is plenty of space to maneuver the com- pressor unit and a clear path to its location.

Lifting Point

Use lifting chains/straps and spreader bar. Evenly distribute weight. Keep lifting chains and spreader bar clear of components to prevent damage.
