Page 9: Safety Precautions General
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS GENERAL For specific safety instructions see sections 9 (compressor) and 10 (engine) Run the engine in a well-ventilated area. The machine should be as level as possible in both planes whilst in operation. Operate unit at least 1 metre away from buildings and flammable objects. - Page 10 SITING Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined area. The unit should be operated on reasonably level ground and sited to prevent the re- entrainment of exhaust gases and other toxic atmospheres. Taking account of the wind direction, the likelihood of pollution from the worksite and other local emissions, the compressor should be positioned to avoid ingesting these.
- Page 11 DIN Connector Pressure Gauge Bleed Screw TOWING THE COMPRESSOR Check the towbar, braking system and coupling. Check that wheels are secure, tyres are in good condition and inflated correctly. Connect lighting cable to towing vehicle if applicable. Check correct operation of all lights.
