Operating instructions
7.1
Before initial start-up
Safety
The operator must apply all relevant safety precautions, including those mentioned in this
book.
Outdoor/altitude operation
If the compressor is installed outdoors or if the air inlet temperature can be below 0 ˚C/32 ˚F, precautions
must be taken. In this case, and also if operating above 1000 m (3300 ft), consult Atlas Copco.
Moving/lifting
The compressor can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame. Take care not to damage the bodywork
during lifting or transport. Before lifting, reinstall the transport securing bolts.
See section
Make sure that the forks protrude from the other side of the frame. The compressor can also be lifted after
inserting beams into the slots. Make sure that the beams cannot slide and that they protrude from the frame
equally. The chains must be held parallel to the bodywork by chain spreaders in order not to damage the
compressor. The lifting equipment must be placed in such a way that the compressor will be lifted
perpendicularly. Lift smoothly and avoid twisting.
