Compressor Unit Installation
Once the foundation has cured, the compressor unit can be placed on the foundation, see Figure 4. Foundation with
Housekeeping Pads Dimensions - Top View and Figure 5. Housekeeping Pad Dimension Detail - Top View. With the
appropriate material handling equipment, lift the compressor unit by locations shown on the Vilter GA drawing and
slowly place it on the foundation housekeeping piers. As per the Vilter GA drawing, ensure the compressor unit is
correctly placed on the foundation. Once placed, use the spherical washers directly under the compressor as the
surface to level the compressor unit, see Figure 6 - Compressor with Spherical Washers. Place shims under the feet
of the compressor unit, as needed, until it is leveled, see Figure 7 - Concrete Pad Housekeeping Detail. Select the
correct drill bit and drill thru the anchor bolt hole in the mounting feet of the compressor unit to the depth called
for on the Vilter foundation drawing. Finally using the HILTI instructions, put your anchor bolts in place and wait for
them to cure. Then place the nuts on the anchor bolts to fi nger tight and prepare to grout.
