STARTING/STOPPING
Always use low sulphur diesel and low
SAP engine oils. Sulphur poisons the
catalytic coating of the Diesel Oxidation
Catalyst (DOC) reducing its usefulness.
Avoid running at low loads (unload), as
it will generate insufficient heat for a
proper functioning of the DOC.
Avoid short term starting and stopping.
Unsuccessful start attempts generate a
lot of soot and can cause heavy soot load
in the filter.
1. Before initial start-up, prepare battery for
operation if not already done. See section
Battery.
2. With the compressor standing level, check the
level of the engine oil. Add oil, if necessary, up to
the upper mark on the dipstick. Also check the
engine coolant level. Consult the Engine
Operation Manual for the type of coolant and type
and viscosity grade of the engine oil.
3. Check the level of the compressor oil. See section
Compressor oil level check. The oil level should
be visible in the tube. Add oil if necessary. See
section Oil specification for the oil to be used.
Before removing the oil filler plug (FP),
ensure that the pressure is released by
opening an air outlet valve.
4. Check that the fuel tank contains sufficient fuel.
Top up, if necessary. Consult the Engine
Operation Manual for the type of fuel.
5. Drain any water and sediment from the fuel filters
until clean fuel flows from the drain cock.
6. Empty the dust trap of each air filter (AF). See
section Cleaning the dust trap.
7. Check coolant level in engine coolant top tank.
Top up, if necessary. Consult the Engine
Operation Manual for coolant specifications.
8. Attach the air line(s) to the closed air outlet
valve(s). Connect the safety chain. Use hoses and
equipment that is designed to withstand the
maximum pressure of the unit (see Technical
specifications).
No external force may be applied to the
air outlet valve(s), e.g. by pulling hoses
or by connecting equipment directly to
the valve(s).
Safety precautions
Do not disconnect power supply to
control box in any way when the control
box is switched on. This will cause
memory loss.
When the compressor is put in operation
for the first time and after running out of
fuel or changing the fuel filter, it may
take some seconds before the machine
will start.

EMERGENCY STOP
(1)
The emergency stop button is only to be
used in emergency situations; not for
stopping procedures.
When an emergency stop button (1) is pressed, power
to all outputs is terminated, by the emergency stop
itself (hardware) as well as by the software.
When the emergency stop button (1) is pressed the
operator can unlock the emergency stop by turning it
counterclockwise.
