WARNING
Unrestricted air flow from a hose will result in a
whipping motion of the hose which can cause
serious injury or death. A safety device must be
attached to the hose at the source of supply to
reduce pressure in case of hose failure or other
sudden pressure release. Reference: OSHA
regulation 29 CFR Section 1926.302 (b).
BEFORE STARTING --
All checks should be made while unit is level.
•
Open service valve (s) to ensure pressure is relieved
in receiver--separator system.
S
Close valve (s) in order to build up full air pressure
and ensure proper oil circulation.
•
Check battery for proper connections and condition.
WARNING
COMBUSTIBLE GAS CAN CAUSE SEVERE
BURNS, BLINDNESS OR DEATH. KEEP SPARKS
AND OPEN FLAME AWAY FROM BATTERY.
Check the compressor and engine lubricating oil
levels.
The oil level should be checked before the unit is
started. Always check the oil level while the unit is
level, the engine off, and there is zero pressure in the
separator tank. the proper oil level is midway on the
sigh gauge. Add oil if the level falls to the bottom of the
sight gauge when the unit is running at full load. Do not
overfill.
WARNING
Hot pressurized fluid can cause serious burns.
Do not open radiator while hot.
•
Check engine coolant level by removing the radiator
top cap and looking for coolant in the filler neck of the
radiator. Add coolant as required. Insure that radiator
cap is installed properly and tightened.
NOTICE:
If the appropriate mixture of antifreeze is not
used during freezing temperatures, failure to drain the
engine may cause costly engine damage. Never use
water only as corrosion inhibitors are required in
engine coolant fluid.
CAUTION
No smoking, sparks, or open flame near fuel.
•
Check the fuel level. Add only CLEAN DIESEL fuel
for maximum service from the engine. Refer to the En-
gine Section for fuel specifications.
A fuel level gauge reading can be obtained by turning
the power switch to “ON”.
NOTICE
To minimize condensation (water) in the fuel tank,
fill the tank at the end of each day.
WARNING
This machine produces loud noise with doors
open. Extended exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing loss. Wear hearing protection when doors
or valve (s) are open.
•
Close the side doors to maintain a cooling air path
and to avoid recirculation of hot air. This will maximize
the life of the engine and compressor and protect the
hearing of surrounding personnel.
S
Make sure no one is IN or ON the compressor unit.
STARTING --
CAUTION
Exercise caution when using a booster battery
charger to start.
To jump--start, connect the positive booster/charger
cable to the 24VDC positive (+) terminal of the battery.
Then connect the negative booster/charger cable to
the engine block...Not to the negative (--) terminal of
the weak battery. After starting, disconnect the
negative (--) cable from engine block; then from the
booster battery/charger. Disconnect positive (+) cable
from both batteries.
S
Flip the POWER switch to “ON”. All diagnostics
lamps will light (glow) for two (2) seconds. Then all
lamps should go off except for ALTERNATOR NOT
CHARGING and LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE.
S
In freezing weather, flip HEATERS switch “ON” and
wait sixty (60) seconds. This applies heat to the control
system components for easier starting. Leave this
switch “ON” while operating at these temperatures.
