5 Operating instructions
5.1 Operation introduction
Warning
The operator must apply all relevant safety precautions.
Ambient conditions
Consult Limitations for operation for the limits with regard to the ambient conditions and altitude
operation.
Moving/lifting
In order not to damage the frame, the compressor must be moved either by a lift truck or by using
lifting equipment as described below:
• When moving the compressor with a lift truck, use the slots in the frame. Make sure that the
forks protrude from the other side of the frame.
• When moving the compressor with a lifting device, insert beams in the slots. Make sure that
the beams cannot slide and that they protrude from the frame equally. The chains must be
held parallel to the bodywork by chain spreaders in order not to damage the compressor.
The lifting equipment must be placed in such a way that the compressor is lifted
perpendicularly. Lift gently and avoid twisting.
5.2 Initial start-up
Actions valid for all compressors:
1. Read the section about the Q-Control Touch to familiarize yourself with all regulator
functions.
2. Consult sections Electric cable size, Installation proposals and Dimension drawings.
3. A number of VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) plates may be provided inside the bodywork
and electric cabinet to protect the compressor against corrosion. Remove the plates.
4. The compressor and motor are secured to the frame, immobilizing the vibration dampers
during transport. After installing the compressor, remove the transport fixations, which are
painted red. Unscrew bolt (1) and remove transport bush (5). Six transport fixations are
provided: two at the gear casing side, two at the motor side and two to support the
intercooler.
