OPERATING PROCEDURE - Continued
STARTING / STOPPING UNIT
STARTING THE PETROL ENGINE
1. Check the air outlet valve is closed.
2. If the engine is cold, move the choke lever to closed (under the air filter).
3. Ensure that the fuel tap is on (under the air filter).
4. Turn the key to the right until the engine starts, then release the key.
5. Move the choke lever to open, ensuring the engine is running.
6. Allow the engine to run with no load for 2-3 minutes. This will allow the engine to achieve operating
temperature. Only then is safe to load the compressor.
7. If the engine does not start, repeat the process described in 2, 3 and 4. The maximum number of
attempts should be limited to 5 and after this; the operator should seek assistance from a mechanic.
STARTING THE DIESEL ENGINE
1. Check the air outlet valve is closed.
2. Ensure that the lever on the fuel solenoid is in the downward.
3. Turn the key to the right to power the glow plugs wait till glow plug indicator light has gone out,
continue to turn the key until engine starts, then release the key.
4. Allow the engine to run with no load for 2-3 minutes. This will allow the engine to achieve operating
temperature. Only then is safe to load the compressor.
STARTING THE COMPRESSOR
1. Once the engine is running the compressor will compress air filling the tank. Ensure all valves are
closed for compressor to reach pressure.
2. Once the tank is at pressure, the engine speed drops to +/- 1200 RPM.
3. Listen for air leaks in the air system.
4. Should there be any air leaks from broken hose or connections. Stop the engine. Advise your
maintenance department that you require assistance.
STOPPING THE COMPRESSOR UNIT
1. Stop using the compressor and close the discharge valve.
2. The compressor will reach regulated pressure and the engine speed will drop to +/- 1200RPM
3. It is good practice to allow the engine to run under no load for 1 minute. (Discharge valve closed)
4. Turn the ignition key to the off position. If you hear a slight
“hissing” noise this is normal, the
compressor is
“blowing down” and releasing pressure out of the system
