The following are forbidden:
■ Air transport of the machine by slinging beneath a helicopter.
■ Dropping the machine by parachute.
3.5.2.2 Positioning
A suitable installation location for the machine prevents the potential for accidents and faults.
➤ Do not position the machine directly against a wall. A build-up of heat from the exhaust can
damage the machine.
➤ Ensure accessibility so that all work on the machine can be carried out without danger or hin‐
drance.
➤ Do not operate in areas in which specific requirements with regard to explosion protection are
in force.
For example, requirements on the "proper use in areas at risk of explosion" according to
2014/34/EU ATEX Directive.
➤ Ensure adequate ventilation.
➤ Place the machine in such a manner that the working conditions in its environment are not im‐
paired.
➤ Comply with limit values for ambient temperatures and humidity.
➤ The intake air must not contain any damaging contaminants.
Damaging contaminants are for instance:
■ Exhaust gases from combustion engines,
■ Flammable, explosive or chemically unstable gases or vapors,
■ Acid- or base-forming chemicals such as ammonia, chlorine, or hydrogen sulfide.
➤ Do not position the machine in the warm exhaust air flow from other machines.
➤ Keep suitable fire extinguishing agents ready for use.
➤ Chock the wheels to prevent unwanted movement.
➤ Do not place additional loads on the machine (e.g. excavator bucket as anti-theft measure).
3.5.2.3 Commissioning, operation and maintenance
During commissioning, operation and maintenance you may be exposed to dangers resulting from,
e.g., electricity, pressure and temperature. Careless actions can cause accidents with severe ad‐
verse effects for your health.
➤ Work should be carried out by authorized personnel only.
➤ Wear close-fitting, flame-resistant clothing. Wear protective clothing as necessary.
➤ Switch off the machine and lock out the power supply disconnecting device.
➤ Wait until the compressor has automatically vented (check: the pressure gauge must read
0 psig!)
➤ Then open the outlet valve carefully to ensure that the line between the minimum pressure
check valve/check valve and the compressed air outlet is vented.
➤ Allow the machine to cool down.
➤ Do not open the body while the machine is switched on.
➤ Do not open or dismantle any valves.
➤ Use only spare parts approved by KAESER for use in this machine.
➤ Carry out regular inspections:
