PARKING INSTRUCTIONS
When parking a compressor, secure prop (1) or nose wheel
to support the compressor in a level position. 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 in front of or behind the wheels. Locate the
compressor upwind, away from contaminated wind-
streams and walls. Avoid recirculation of exhaust air from
the engine. This causes overheating and engine power
decrease.
TOWING INSTRUCTIONS
Before towing the compressor, make sure that the towing
equipment of the vehicle matches the towing eye or ball
connector
The drawbar should be as level as possible and the
compressor and towing eye end in a level position. Secure
nose prop (1) in the highest position. Attach safety chains/
cables in a crisscross manner to the tow vehical. This will
help prevent the towbar from contacting ground in event
of a breakaway. Connect road lights when applicable.
LIFTING INSTRUCTIONS
When lifting the compressor, the hoist has to be placed in
such a way that the compressor, which must be placed
level, will be lifted vertically. Use the lifting bale provided
to lift the unit
Lifting acceleration and retardation must
be kept within safe limits (max. 2g).
Helicopter lifting is not allowed.
Before Starting
If the compressor is to be connected to a
common compressed air system, fit an
appropriate check valve between
compressor outlet and air system. Observe
the right mounting position/direction!
1. Before initial start-up, prepare battery for operation if
not already done.
2. With the compressor standing level, check the level of
the engine oil. Add oil, if necessary, to the upper mark
- 40 -
on dipstick. Consult the Engine Operation Manual for
the type and viscosity grade of the engine oil.
3. Check the level of the compressor oil. The pointer of oil
level gauge (OLG) should register in the green range.
Add oil if necessary.
4.
Check that the fuel tank contains sufficient fuel. Top
up, if necessary. Consult the Engine Operation Man-
ual for the type of fuel.
5. Check coolant level in overflow bottle. Top off coolant
if necessary. Consult engine's operation manual for
water/coolant specifications.
6. Drain any water and sediment from the fuel filter until
clean fuel flows from the drain cock.
7. Press vacuator valve (VV) of the air filter to remove
dust.
8. Check the air filter service indicator (VI). If the red part
shows completely, service or replace the filter element.
Reset the indicator.
9. Open an air outlet valve (AV) to allow air flow to the
atmosphere.
