When parking a compressor, secure support leg (1) or jockey wheel
(2) to support the compressor in a level position. Be sure that the jockey
wheel (2) is blocked by the blocking pin (6).
Apply parking brake by pulling parking brake handle (3) upwards.
Place the compressor as level as possible; however, it can be operated
temporarily in an out-of-level position not exceeding 15°. If the
compressor is parked on sloping ground, immobilize the compressor
by placing wheel chocks (available as option) in front of or behind the
wheels. Locate the rear-end of the compressor upwind, (see Fig. 3.4),
away from contaminated wind-streams and walls. Avoid recirculation
of exhaust air from the engine. This causes overheating and engine
power decrease.
