ARKING INSTRUCTIONS
Fig. 3.1
Non-adjustable towbar without brakes
Fig. 3.2
Adjustable towbar with brakes
When parking a compressor, secure nose wheel (1) to support
the compressor in a level position. Apply parking brake (2).
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.

OWING INSTRUCTIONS
Fig. 3.3
Label on towbar, towing instructions
Before towing the compressor, make sure that the
towing equipment of the vehicle matches the
towing eye or ball connector.
For non-adjustable - and adjustable towbar the towbar should
be as level as possible and the compressor and towing eye
end in a level position. Turn the locking handles in such a way
that there is no clearance between the teeth of the joints; this
can be checked by trying to move the towbar up and down at
the towing eye. Mount safety pins (3). Push hand brake lever
(2) downwards and connect breakaway cable (4) to the
vehicle. Secure nose wheel (1) in the highest position so that
the nose wheel is prevented from turning.
