Thermal overload of the turbo generator.
Stopping the machine abruptly after the generator has been in operation for some time can
cause heat damage to the generator.
➤ Allow the engine to run for about 2 minutes in idle before shutting down to allow the gen‐
erator to cool down.
1. Set the «automatic circuit breaker(s)» to the "0" position.
2. Turn the «generator main switch» to the "0" position.
3. Close all «compressed air outlet valves» on the air distributor.
The engine runs in IDLE and the generator can cool down.
After running about 2 minutes in IDLE, the generator has cooled down sufficiently for the en‐
gine to be stopped.
8.8 Cleaning the machine after operation
Material High-pressure cleaner
Precondition The machine is switched off.
The machine has cooled down.
The machine is fully vented, the pressure gauge reads 0 psig.
All compressed air consumers are disconnected and the air outlet valves are open.
Maintain the following minimum distances to the object to be cleaned in order to prevent damages
to the machine when cleaning with the high-pressure cleaner.
■ Circular section jets: approximately 2.3 ft
■ Fan jets: approximately 1 ft
■ Dirt blasters: approximately 1 ft
Keep the water jet in permanent motion during the cleaning process. You prevent thus dam‐
age.
Cleaning with dry-ice jets is strictly forbidden as it could cause unforeseeable damages.
1.
Machine damage caused by strong water jet!
Direct water jets can damage or even destroy sensitive components.
➤ Do not directly focus a strong water jet towards sensitive components.
➤ Work carefully.
2. Carefully clean the machine with the high-pressure cleaner.
Water has accumulated in the sealed floor pan.
