SAFETY DURING TRANSPORT AND
INSTALLATION
Transport of the unit has to be done by authorized/
experienced people.
When towing, lifting or transporting the compressor
in any way, the battery switch must always be
switched off.
To lift a unit, all loose or pivoting parts, e.g. doors and
tow bar, shall first be securely fastened.
Do not attach cables, chains or ropes directly to the
lifting eye; apply a crane hook or lifting shackle
meeting local safety regulations. Never allow sharp
bends in lifting cables, chains or ropes.
Helicopter lifting is not allowed.
It is strictly forbidden to dwell or stay in the risk zone
under a lifted load. Never lift the unit over people or
residential areas. Lifting acceleration and retardation
shall be kept within safe limits.
1 Before towing the unit:
- ascertain that the pressure vessel(s) is (are)
depressurized,
- check the tow bar, the brake system and the
towing eye. Also check the coupling of the
towing vehicle,
- check the towing and brake capability of the
towing vehicle,
- check that the tow bar, jockey wheel or stand
leg is safely locked in the raised position,
- ascertain that the towing eye can swivel freely
on the hook,
- check that the wheels are secure and that the
tyres are in good condition and inflated
correctly,
- connect the signalisation cable, check all lights
and connect the pneumatic brake couplers,
- attach the safety break-away cable or safety
chain to the towing vehicle,
- remove wheel chocks, if applied, and
disengage the parking brake,
- check whether springs on wheelchocks are
missing or broken.
2 To tow a unit use a towing vehicle of ample
capacity. Refer to the documentation of the
towing vehicle.
3 If the unit is to be backed up by the towing
vehicle, disengage the overrun brake mechanism
(if it is not an automatic mechanism).
4 Never exceed the maximum towing speed of the
unit (mind the local regulations).
5 Place the unit on level ground and apply the
parking brake before disconnecting the unit from
the towing vehicle. Unclip the safety break-away
cable or safety chain. If the unit has no parking
brake or jockey wheel, immobilize the unit by
placing chocks in front of and/or behind the
wheels. When the tow bar can be positioned
vertically, the locking device must be applied and
kept in good order. The unit must always be used/
parked/stored in a non publicly accessible area,
locked away from access by unauthorized
persons.
6 To lift heavy parts, a hoist of ample capacity,
tested and approved according to local safety
regulations, shall be used.
7 Lifting hooks, eyes, shackles, etc., shall never be
bent and shall only have stress in line with their
design load axis. The capacity of a lifting device
diminishes when the lifting force is applied at an
angle to its load axis.
8 For maximum safety and efficiency of the lifting
apparatus all lifting members shall be applied as
near to perpendicular as possible. If required, a
lifting beam shall be applied between hoist and
load.
9 Never leave a load hanging on a hoist.
10 A hoist has to be installed in such a way that the
object will be lifted perpendicular. If that is not
possible, the necessary precautions must be taken
to prevent load-swinging, e.g. by using two
hoists, each at approximately the same angle not
exceeding 30° from the vertical.
11 Locate the unit away from walls. Take all
precautions to ensure that hot air exhausted from
the engine and driven machine cooling systems
cannot be recirculated. If such hot air is taken in
by the engine or driven machine cooling fan, this
may cause overheating of the unit; if taken in for
combustion, the engine power will be reduced.
12 Before moving the compressor, switch it off.
13 If the warning light on the ABS module or in the
vehicle lights up, please contact Atlas Copco.
14 If the unit is equipped with a high speed EU
tandem undercarriage it must be ensured that the
brake system of the unit matches the brake system
of the towing vehicle. Have the brake system of
the combination (unit - towing vehicle) checked
by a certified truck center.
15 When transporting a high speed EU tandem unit
hooked up with a truck, be sure to have all doors
safely locked with the additional door locks and
key lock.
