Lifting eye
When lifting the compressor, the hoist has to be placed in
such a way that the compressor, which must be placed level,
will be lifted vertically.
Preferably use the lifting eye (1).
Lifting acceleration and retardation must be kept
within safe limits (max. 2
x
g).
Helicopter lifting is not allowed.

EFORE STARTING
If the compressor is to be connected to a common
compressed air system, fit an appropiate check
valve between compressor outlet and air system.
Observe the right mounting position/direction!
1. Before initial start-up, prepare battery for operation if not
already done. See section 4.7.
2. With the compressor standing level, check the level of the
engine oil. Add oil, if necessary, to the upper mark on
dipstick. Consult the Engine Operation Manual for the type
and viscosity grade of the engine oil.
3. Check the level of the compressor oil. The pointer of oil
level gauge (OLG- Fig. 2.3) should register in the green
range. Add oil if necessary. See section 4.3 for the oil to be
used.
Before removing oil filler plug (FP - Fig. 2.3),
ensure that the pressure is released by opening an
air outlet valve.
4. Check that the fuel tank contains sufficient fuel. Top up, if
necessary. Consult the Engine Operation Manual for the
type of fuel.
5. Drain any water and sediment from the fuel filter (FF) until
clean fuel flows from the drain cock.
6. Empty the dust trap of the air filter(s) (AF).
7. Check the air filter vacuum indicator(s) (VI- Fig. 2.3).
If the yellow piston reaches the red marked service range,
service or replace the filter element.
Reset the indicator by pushing the reset button.
8. Open an air outlet valve to allow air flow to the atmosphere.
