The coolant must cover the tubes in the top tank
(approximately 1 inch high on a clean measuring rod
stuck down filler neck). The coolant in the overflow
bottle should be above the “COLD” mark for cold
engine (<120
_
F).
A fuel level gauge reading can be obtained without
starting the unit, by turning the power switch to “ON”.
Afterwards, turn the switch to “OFF”.
Check the fuel level. Use Clean DIESEL fuel for
maximum service from the engine.
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.
STARTING
Turn the POWER switch to “ON”.
If so equipped, place the “Start--Run” Valve Switch,
located in the bottom right hand corner of the
instrument panel, to the “Start/Warm--Up” position.
Turn Power switch to “START” position to crank
engine. Hold switch in “START” position for
approximately 5 seconds after engine starts.
NOTICE
Do not operate the starter motor for more than 10
seconds without allowing at least 30 seconds
cooling time between start attempts.
Release Power Switch (it will automatically move to
the “ON” position) when the engine starts and sustains
running.
Allow engine to warm up 5 to 10 minutes.
If so equipped, place the “Start--Run” Valve Switch in
the “AIR” position.
Cold Weather Starting:
If so equipped, place the Start--Run valve switch,
located in the bottom right hand corner of the
instrument panel, to the “START/WARM--UP”
position.
Open manual blowdown valve, if so equipped, and
press ether inject button. Use Ether sparingly. Close
manual blowdown valve after engine is running.
If equipped with the optional cold starting aid
(ETHER), operate the valve once or twice ONLY while
the engine is cranking.
CAUTION
Ether is an extremely volatile, highly flammable
gas. Use sparingly! If too much is injected, the
uncontrolled explosion may result in costly dam-
age to the engine.
CAUTION
Exercise extreme caution when using a booster
battery to start. To jump start: Connect the ends
of one booster cable to the positive (+) terminals
of each battery. Then connect one end of the other
cable to the negative (--) terminal of the booster
battery and the other end to the engine block. NOT
TO THE NEGATIVE (--) TERMINAL OF THE WEAK
BATTERY.
AFTER STARTING:
a. Reduce engine speed to IDLE.
b. Disconnect the negative (--) cable from the engine
block first, then from the booster battery.
c. Disconnect positive (+) cable from both batteries.
CAUTION
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.
