Before Starting - Atlas Copco XAHS 186 Cud PNE Instruction Manual

BEFORE STARTING

1. Before initial start-up, prepare battery
for operation if not already done. See
section Recharging a battery.
2. With the compressor standing level,
check the level of the engine oil. Add
oil, if necessary, to the upper mark on
dipstick. Also check the engine coolant
level. Consult the Engine Operation
Manual for the type of coolant and type
and viscosity grade of the engine oil.
3. Remove the air receiver drain plate (1),
see figure, and remove the drain plug to
drain possible condensate. Reinstall the
drain plug when oil comes out and close
the drain plate(1). The interval between
draining operations may be determined
by experience, as the amount of
condensate depends on the operating
condition.
Before draining, ensure that the
pressure is released.
4. Check the level of the compressor oil.
See section Check compressor oil
level. The pointer of oil level gauge
(OLG) should register in the green
range. Add oil if necessary. See section
Synthetic compressor oil
SCREWLUB for the oil to be used.
Before removing oil filler plug
(FP), ensure that the pressure is
released by opening an air outlet
valve.
5. Check that the fuel tank contains
sufficient fuel. Top up, if necessary.
Consult the Engine Operation Manual
for the type of fuel.
6. Drain any water and sediment from the
fuel filters until clean fuel flows from
the drain cock.
7. Empty the dust trap of each air filter
(AF). See section Replacing the filter
element and the safety cartridge.

8. Check the air filter vacuum indicators.
If the yellow piston reaches the red
marked service range, replace the filter
element. Reset the indicator by pushing
the reset button.
9. Check coolant level in engine coolant
top tank integrated in radiator. Top up, if
necessary. Consult the Engine
Operation Manual for coolant
specifications.
10.Attach the air line(s) to the closed air
outlet valve(s).
11.Use hoses with suitable pressure rating
and fit for the environmental conditions.
Inspect hoses and connections daily.
