The unit must be level or must not exceed 35°, as higher angles will
affect lubrication and oil and air separation.
Never start the engine before the compressor system has fully
depressurized. Starting or restarting the engine with pressure in the
system causes extremely high loads on the internal components and
may cause premature failure that may void any warranty claims.
2.2.1 Make sure the air operated equipment is securely connected to
the supply valve and turned OFF.
If air operated equipment is faulty, not securely
connected, or not connected then excessive oil may be
noticed in discharge air.

position.
