Action
Before initial start-up, prepare battery for operation if not already done. See
section 4.13.3 Recharging a battery.
Check that the draining caps in the spillage-free frame are firmly tightened.
With the compressor standing level, check the level of the engine oil. Add oil, if
necessary, to the upper mark on 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.
Remove the air receiver drain plug (DPar), see figure at step 12., and open the
valve to drain possible condensate. Close the valve when oil comes out and
reinstall the drain plug. The interval between draining operations may be
determined by experience, as the amount of condensate depends on the
operating condition.
Before draining, ensure that the pressure is released.
Check the level of the compressor oil. See section 4.7.2 Check compressor oil
level. The pointer of oil level gauge (OLG) should register in the green range.
Add oil if necessary. See section 4.6.1 Compressor oil for the oil to be used.
Before removing oil filler plug (FP), ensure that the pressure is released by
opening an air outlet valve.
Check that the fuel tank contains sufficient fuel. Top up, if necessary. Consult
the Engine Operation Manual for the type of fuel.
Drain any water and sediment from the fuel filters until clean fuel flows from
the drain cock.
Empty the dust trap of each air filter (AF). See section 5.2.3 Replacing the filter
element and the safety cartridge.
Clogged air filter(s) will be indicated on the display of the control panel, see
section 3.4.9 Fault codes. If indicated, replace the filter elements.
Check coolant level in engine coolant top tank integrated in radiator. Top up, if
necessary. Consult the Engine Operation Manual for coolant specifications.
Check that the battery switch is "ON". The battery switch may only be
switched off after the control unit has been switched off.
