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.
