Operating instructions PARKING, TOWING AND LIFTING INSTRUCTIONS Safety precautions PARKING INSTRUCTIONS The operator is expected to apply relevant Safety precautions. Attention Before putting the compressor in to use, check the brake system. After the first 100 km travel: Check and retighten the wheel nuts and towbar bolts to the Locate the unit away from restriction Uncouple vehicle.
TOWING INSTRUCTIONS Before towing the compressor, ensure that towing equipment vehicle matches the towing eye. The towbar should be as level as possible and the compressor and towing eye in a level position. The towbar should be as level as possible and the compressor and towing eye end in a level position.
LIFTING INSTRUCTIONS To lift the compressor, use a lift truck or Lifting acceleration crane with sufficient capacity. retardation must be kept within safe limits (max. 2xg). Helicopter lifting is not allowed. See to it that the compressor will be lifted vertically and remains level Lifting is not allowed when the unit is running.
