Operating instructions

Warning
The operator must apply all relevant
Safety precautions
.
Switch off the voltage before making any adjustment.
Outdoor/altitude operation
If the compressor is installed outdoors or if the air inlet temperature can be below freezing point,
precautions must be taken. In this case, and also if operating at high altitude, consult Chicago
Pneumatic.
Moving/lifting
The compressor can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame. Make sure that the
forks protrude from the other side of the frame. The compressor can also be lifted after inserting
beams in the slots. Make sure that the beams cannot slide and that they protrude from the frame
equally. The chains must be held parallel to the bodywork by chain spreaders in order not to
damage the compressor. The lifting equipment must be placed in such a way that the
compressor is lifted perpendicularly. Lift gently and avoid twisting.
