Prior to first commissioning, observe the following:
• Ensure that cooling air can flow freely.
• Position compressor in direction of wind so that exhaust fumes are blown away from the unit.
• Take protection measures to avoid damages or injury by exhaust gases/exhaust pipe.
• Check fuel capacity.
• Check drive motor oil level.
• Check the oil level of the compressor.
• Check all connections and tighten if necessary.
• Check if a filter cartridge is in place. (see "Service and Maintenance")
• Check V-belt tension. (see "Service and Maintenance")
• Read carefully the handbook of the petrol engine.
