Parking Instructions; Towing Instructions; Lifting Instructions - Atlas Copco XAS 185 CD7 T4F HOP Instruction Manual

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 criss cross manner to the tow vehicle. This will
help prevent the towbar from contacting ground in event
of a breakaway. Connect road lights when applicable.
