3.1.2 Parking Instructions (see Fig. 3.2)
When parking a compressor, secure prop (1) or nose wheel to support the compressor in a level position. 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.
3.1.3 Towing Instructions
Before towing the compressor, make sure that the towing equipment of the vehicle matches the towing eye or ball connector
The drawbar should be as level as possible and the compressor and towing eye end in a level position. Secure nose prop (1) in
the highest position. Attach safety chains/cables in a criscross manner to the tow vechical. This will help prevent the towbar from
contacting ground in event of a breakaway. Connect road lights when applicable.

lifted vertically.
