High Dust Content Operation; High Altitude Operation - Vanair AIR N ARC I 300 SERIES Operation Manual

SECTION 4: OPERATION

4.10.3 HIGH DUST CONTENT OPERATION

When the machine is to be used in
continuously dusty environments, special
care must be taken with the engine's air
cleaner and radiator, the compressor air filter
and cooler assembly, and the hydraulic fan.
The intake air must be cleaned with the air
cleaner. Lowering of the radiator cooling
capacity due to clogging dust must be
prevented. If intake air resistance becomes
higher, this will result in reduced output. In
order to maintain air-tight seals at the joining
sections of the intake system component
parts, and thus to prevent foreign matter
from entering, it is necessary to ensure the
security of the air intake system to prevent
the component parts from being damaged.
This can be accomplished by performing
more frequent monitoring of the air filters, air

evacutator valve (on compressor air filter),
and radiator coolers and their immediate
surroundings when operating in areas that
contain a high dust content.
If the package is not being used for an
extended period of time, an additional
precaution, such as covering the machine
with a tarp, will help to keep the inside of the
machine free of dust particle accumulation.

4.10.4 HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

Engine horsepower will decrease by 3.5%
for every 1,000 feet over 6,000 feet increase
in altitude. At high altitude overall unit
performance will deteriorate, and care will
need to be taken not to overload the engine.
