PRIOR TO STARTING
1. Place the unit in a position that is as level as possible. The
design of the unit permits a 15 degree lengthways and sideways limit
on out of level operation. It is the engine, not the compressor, that is
the limiting factor.
When the unit has to be operated out of level, it is important to keep
the engine oil level near the high level mark (with the unit level).
CAUTION:
Do not overfill either the engine or the
compressor with oil.
2. Check the engine lubrication oil in accordance with the operating
instructions in the
Engine Operator’s Manual.
3. Check the compressor oil level in the sight glass located on the
separator tank.
4. Check the diesel fuel level. A good rule is to top up at the end of
each working day. This prevents condensation from occurring in the
tank.
CAUTION:
Use only a No. 2
−
D diesel fuel oil with a
minimum octane number of 45 and a sulphur content
not greater than 0,5%.
CAUTION:
When refuelling:
−
S
switch off the engine.
S
do not smoke.
S
extinguish all naked lights.
S
do not allow the fuel to come into contact with hot
surfaces.
S
wear personal protective equipment.
5. Drain the fuel filter water separator of water, ensuring that any
released fuel is safely contained.
6. Open the service valve(s) to ensure that all pressure is relieved
from the system. Close the service valve(s).
7.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the machine with the
canopy/doors in the open position as this may cause
overheating and operators to be exposed to high noise
levels.
8. Check the radiator coolant level (with the unit level).
Check the air restriction indicator(s). Refer to the
MAINTENANCE
section of this manual.
When starting or operating the machine in temperatures below or
approaching 0
C, ensure that the operation of the regulation system,
the unloader valve, the safety valve, and the engine are not impaired
by ice or snow, and that all inlet and outlet pipes and ducts are clear
of ice and snow.
