WARNING
!
If more than one compressor is connected to one common downstream
plant, effective check valves and isolation valves must be fitted and
controlled by work procedures, so that one machine cannot accidently be
pressurised/over pressurised by another.
WARNING
!
If flexible discharge hoses are used, it is recommended that safety
retaining wires are used on the hoses.
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.
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.
Liquid level should be in the green zone.
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%.
