DRAWBAR PREPARATIONS FOR TOWING

Atlas Copco XAS 185 CD7 compressors may be supplied
to a customer with a folded drawbar. The drawbar is
positioned in it's upright position for shipping purposes
only. When the compressor is received by the end
customer, the drawbar will need to be put into it's
operating position. To do this:
1. With the weight of the compressor still on the drawbar,
pull the pin on the jacking device (prop or nose wheel)
and move it into the down position. Be sure to re-
insert the pin to keep the jack locked in place.
2. Use the jack to support the compressor in a level
position by turning the handle at the top of the jack.
3. Using the appropriate tools, remove the shipping
bracket and fold the drawbar into it's down position.
Discard locknut.
Note: take the necessary precautions as to not pinch
the wire harness that runs through the drawbar during
the unfolding process. Pull the excess harness out
through the front of the drawbar.
4. Reuse the shipping bracket bolt to secure the drawbar
by reinserting the bolt through both drawbar halves
(item 2, 3). Secure and tighten with the locknut sup-
plied in the shipping bag. Torque the nut and bolt to
130 ft-lbs.
5. Using a jack stand or by blocking, support the end of
the drawbar. With the compressor properly supported
remove the prop or nose wheel and tighten the pivot
nut/bolt. Torque the nut and bolt to 130 ft-lbs.
6. Re-attach the prop to the drawbar in the down posi-
tion and install keeper pin. Jack the unit up with the
prop to remove the blocking.
7. Using bolt, washers, and locknut (items 4,5,6) from
shipping bag, insert bolt through hole on top of draw-
bar using washers and secure with locknut. Torque
nut and bolt to 130 ft-lbs.
8. Discard any remaining hardware and the shipping
bracket.
9. Re torque the all drawbar attachment bolts to their
specified value after 5-10 hours of use.
Note: the pivoting feature of the drawbar is for
shipping purpose only. The drawbar is to remain in
the down position after it's initial setup. REUSE OF
LOCKNUTS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITTED BY
ATLAS COPCO.
