cannot get into the compressor with the intake air. Make sure that the intake air does not contain any smells,
fuel or fumes, explosive or inflammable gases or harmful substances.
 Units with petrol engine or diesel engine should not be used indoors.
 Assign the unit (if it uses petrol engine or diesel engine) towards
the direction of the wind, so as fumes are getting away. In this

that fumes are avoided to enter the compressor.

opening the fuel tank.
