Before Starting
• Open service valve(s) to ensure pressure
is relieved in receiver-separator system.
Close valve(s) in order to build up full air
pressure and ensure proper oil
circulation.
• Check battery for proper connections and
condition.
• Check battery for proper connections and
condition.
• Check engine coolant level.
WARNING
!
Do not remove pressure cap from
a HOT radiator. Allow radiator to
cool down before removing
pressure cap. Use extreme care
when removing a pressure cap
from a liquid cooling system for
the engine. The sudden release of
pressure from a heated cooling
system can result in a loss of
coolant and possible severe
personal injury.
• Check the engine oil level. Maintain per
marks on dipstick.
• Check the fuel level. Add only CLEAN
DIESEL fuel for maximum service from
the engine.
• Check the compressor lubricating fluid
level between bottom and midway of the
sight glass on the separator tank.
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 all 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.
• Be sure no one is IN or ON the
compressor unit.
WARNING
!
Unrestricted air flow from a hose will
result in a whipping motion of the
hose which can cause severe 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).
Starting
• Turn the POWER switch to “ON”.
• Turn Power switch to “START”
position to crank engine. Hold switch
in “START” position for
