Can I Leave My Air Compressor on the Wooden Shipping Skid?

Ingersoll Rand recommends that you remove your reciprocating air compressor unit from the shipping skid before installation.  A permanent and secure installation requires bolting the unit to a firm and level foundation (such as a concrete floor).  

If the mounting surface not completely flat, do not bolt uneven feet tightly to the foundation as this will cause excessive stress on the receiver tank.  Use metal shims under the "short" feet if necessary.
