OPERATING MANUAL
HOW TO SET UP THE MACHINE
A)
POSITIONING THE UNIT
The S
-
Series units are totally self
-
contained and ready to use upon delivery to the job
site. The S
-
Series units are built on a skid base that is designed to facilitate dragging
the unit into position and to move the unit around the site. The weights of the various
units are given in the General Description section. Ensure that lifting or tow cables are
certified for these weights.
With respect to the prevailing wind direction, the unit should be positioned such that
the wind comes over the back of the manifold. This is the preferred position. It is also
acceptable to have the wind blow into the manifold. It is discouraged, however, to have
the wind come from either end of the machine, as this will tend to disrupt the air cur-
tain.

-
OPERATION CHECKS:
1.
Air filter for cleanliness (VERY IMPORTANT)
2.
Engine oil level
3.
Engine coolant level and antifreeze rating
4.
Diesel fuel level
DANGER:
When you tow (drag) the S
-
Series units, especially in soft
soil, watch that the dirt does not build up under the panels and lift the
panels off the rails. Never walk inside the box when it is being towed.
Typically, the softer soils will require a longer cable. If the rear of the
unit sinks in soft soil while it is being towed, use another vehicle to fol-
low and carry some of the load. If you are still having trouble dragging
the unit, try a different length of tow cable. Always stay clear of the tow
cable while the dragging operation is underway.
