•
Open manual blowdown valve to ensure pressure is
relieved in receiver--separator system. Close valve in
order to build up full air pressure and ensure proper oil
circulation.
.
•
Check battery for proper connections and condition.
•
Check the compressor lubricating oil level. The prop-
er oil level is mid--way on the sight gauge. Add oil if the
level falls to the bottom of the sight gauge. Do not
overfill.
•
Check the engine lubricating oil level. Add oil if low
on dipstick.
WARNING
Do not remove the cap from a HOT engine
radiator. The sudden release of pressure from a
heated cooling system can cause severe injury or
death.
CAUTION
The use of water alone in this engine can result
in major engine failure.
•
At overflow reservoir ( plastic bottle ) check
coolant level and, if necessary, top off to
“cold” mark.
S
Roof access door has retaining pins on each
side. After servicing cooling system, pins must
be replaced for proper operation.
•
Check the fuel level. Add only CLEAN DIESEL
fuel for maximum service from the engine.
Note: To minimize condensation (water) in the fuel
tank, fill the tank at the end of each day.
WARNING
This machine produces loud noise with doors
open. Extended exposure to loud noise can
cause hearing loss. Wear hearing protection
when doors or valve (s) are open.
Close the side doors to maintain a cooling air path and
to avoid recirculation of hot air. This will maximize the
life of the engine and compressor and protect the
hearing of surrounding personnel. Be sure no one is IN
or ON the compressor unit.
STARTING
WARNING
Do NOT operate machine with guards removed.
CAUTION
Do NOT operate machine with safety shutdown
switches by--passed.
In freezing weather and if so equipped, flip HEATERS
switch “On” and wait sixty (60) seconds. This applies
heat to the control system components for easier
starting. Leave this switch “On” while operating at
these temperatures.
Flip the POWER switch to “On”. If so equipped, all
DIAGNOSTICS lamps will light (glow) for two (2) sec-
onds. Then all lamps should go off except for ALTER-
NATOR NOT CHARGING and LOW ENGINE OIL
PRESSURE.
CAUTION
Ether is an extremely volatile, highly flammable
gas. Use sparingly! If too much is injected, the
uncontrolled explosion may result in costly dam-
age to the engine.
In cold weather, open manual blow down valve and, if
so equipped, press the ETHER INJECT button once
and release. Then, while cranking, press release but-
ton once every five (5) seconds. This injects a mea-
sured amount of ether to the engine.
Press both the START and the BY PASS buttons to
crank the engine. DO NOT OPERATE THE START-
ER MOTOR FOR MORE THAN TEN (10) SECONDS
WITHOUT ALLOWING AT LEAST ONE MINUTE
COOLING TIME BETWEEN START ATTEMPTS.
Release the START button when the engine starts
and sustains running. If the engine does not start after
a couple of attempts, refer to Trouble Shooting Sec-
tion.
Release the BYPASS button after two (2) to three (3)
seconds.
