GENERAL OPERATING SAFETY
»
Allow at least ten feet of unobstructed area in front of cooling air inlets and outlets to assure good
airflow.
»
If compressor is connected to a common header with one or more compressors, a check valve must be
provided between each compressor and header.
»
Check instruments periodically during operation. If readings are abnormal, refer to
»
Make sure that the correct type and viscosity of lubricating oils and fuel are used, especially in extreme
ambient temperatures.
»
Keep batteries fully charged and properly maintained.

PREPARING FOR INITIAL START-UP
1.
Inspect the compressor, engine, and other assemblies for damage or loose connections which might
have occurred during shipment.
2.
Check the engine’s crankcase oil level. If required, add oil as recommended in the Engine Manual, located
at www.kohlerpower.com.
3.
Check the radiator coolant level. Also, if the machine will be exposed to sub-freezing temperatures,
check the specific gravity to ascertain the freezing point of the coolant.
4.
Fill the fuel tank with fuel recommended in the Engine Manual.
WARNING!
Never add gasoline to diesel fuel tank - serious damage to the engine will result.
5.
If necessary, add lubricating oil to the compressor sump. Refer to the Lubrication and Maintenance
section for lubricating oil specifications.
6.
Check battery posts and cable clamps to assure proper contact. Connect positive cable and negative
cable battery terminals.

NORMAL STARTING
1.
Inspect the compressor, engine and other assemblies for damage or loose connections.
2.
Check engine coolant, oil, fuel, and battery fluid levels. Check compressor receiver oil level.
3.
Close service valves.
4.
Set start-run valve to
START
position.
5.
Press the top of the ignition switch to
ON
position. Allow display to boot up.

a time. If the engine does not start, wait for one minute before repeating.
7.
Make sure that all warning lights on the control panel are off when the engine is running.
8.
Run at minimum speed for a few minutes according to table (except constant speed engine):

TIME
≤ -4°F (-20°C)
2 minutes
from -4°F to 14°F (-20°C to -10°C)
1 minute
from 14°F to 23°F (-10°C to -5°C)
30 seconds
from 23°F to 41°F (-5°C to 5°C)
20 seconds
≥ 41°F (5°C)
15 seconds

After warmup, set Start-Run valve to
RUN
position for full load operation.
CAUTION!
If the engine stops, do not attempt to restart with the oil receiver under pressure. Wait until unit blows
down to <10 psi, then return Start-Run valve to START.
