1: Safety
C. Park or locate compressor so the wind, if any, tends
to carry the exhaust fumes and radiator heat away
from the compressor air inlet openings, and also
where the compressor will not be exposed to exces-
sive dust from the work site.
D. On steerable models, park compressor with front
wheels in straight-ahead position.
E. Set parking brakes and disconnect breakaway switch
cable and all other interconnecting electrical and/or
brake connections, if provided.
F. Block or chock both sides of all wheels.
G. If provided, unhook chains and remove them from
the points of chain attachment on the towing vehicle,
then hook chains to bail on drawbar or wrap chains
around the drawbar and hook them to themselves to
keep chains off the ground which might accelerate
rusting.
H. Lower front screw jack and/or any front and rear sta-
bilizer legs. Make sure the surface they contact has
sufficient load bearing capability to support the
weight of the compressor.
This equipment may be tongue heavy. DO NOT
attempt to raise or lower the drawbar by hand if
the weight is more than you can safely handle.

WARNING
Subject to EAR, ECCN EAR99 and related export control restrictions.
Retract the front screw jack only after attaching
the compressor to the tow vehicle. Raise the
screw jack to its full up position and pull the pin
connecting the jack to the drawbar. Rotate the
screw jack to its stowed position, parallel to the
drawbar, and reinsert the pin. Make sure the jack
is secured in place prior to towing.
On two-wheeled models, fully retract front screw
jack and any rear stabilizer legs. If a caster wheel
is provided on the screw jack it is part of the
screw jack and can not be removed. Follow the
same procedure for stowing away the wheeled
jack as you would for the standard screw jack.
Pull the pin connecting the jack to the drawbar
and raise the screw jack to its full up position.
Rotate the screw jack to its stowed position, par-
allel to the drawbar, and reinsert the pin. Make
sure the jack is secured in place prior to towing.
If a caster wheel is provided on the screw jack, it is
I.
part of the screw jack and cannot be removed. Follow
the same procedure for stowing away the wheeled
jack as you would for the standard screw jack. Raise
the screw jack to its full upright position and pull the
pin connecting the jack to the drawbar. Rotate the
screw jack to its stowed position, parallel to the draw-
bar and reinsert the pin. Make sure the jack is
secured in place prior to towing.
J. Disconnect coupling device, keeping hands and fin-
gers clear of all pinch points. If the compressor is
provided with a drawbar, DO NOT attempt to lift the
drawbar or if hinged, to raise it to the upright position
by hand, if the weight is more than you can safely
handle. Use a screwjack or chain fall if you cannot lift
or raise the drawbar without avoiding injury to your-
self or others.
K. Move the towing vehicle well clear of the parked
compressor and erect hazard indicators, barricades
and/or flares (if at night) if compressor is parked on
or adjacent to public roads. Park so as not to inter-
fere with traffic.
While not towed in the usual sense of the word,
many of these instructions are directly applicable
to skidmounted portable air compressors as well.
