4.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The IMT CAS80R Hydraulic compressor has
a comprehensive array of controls and
indicators (see
Figure 4-1
). Understanding
the correct operation of the system will help
you to understand and recognize when it is
operating optimally. The information in the
Operation Section will help the operator to
recognize and interpret the readings, which
will call for service or indicate the beginning
of a malfunction.
WARNING
Before starting, performing maintenance,
or replacing parts, relieve the entire system
pressure by opening a service valve which
will vent all pressure to the atmosphere:
remove all electrical power.
IMPORTANT
Before starting the IMT CAS80R
compressor, read this section
thoroughly and familiarize
yourself with the controls and
indicators - their purpose, location
and use.
