OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
21
7/20, P65
PRIOR TO STARTING
A. Place the unit in a position that is as level as possible. The design
of the unit permits a 15 degree lengthways and sideways limit on
out of level operation. It is the engine, not the compressor, that is
the limiting factor.
When the unit has to be operated out of level, it is important to keep the
engine oil level near the high level mark (with the unit level).
B. Check the engine lubrication oil in accordance with the operating
instructions in the
Engine Operator’s Manual.
C. Check the compressor oil level (with the unit level).
D. Check the diesel fuel level. A good rule is to top up at the end of
each working day. This prevents condensation from occurring in the
tank.
E. Open the service valve(s) to ensure that all pressure is relieved
from the system.
G. Check the radiator coolant level (with the unit level).
Check the air restriction indicator(s). Refer to the
MAINTENANCE
section of this manual.
When starting or operating the machine in temperatures below or
approaching 0°C, ensure that the operation of the regulation system,
the unloader valve, the safety valve, and the engine are not impaired
by ice or snow, and that all inlet and outlet pipes and ducts are clear of
ice and snow.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill either the engine or the compressor with
oil.
CAUTION:
Fill oil up to the filler neck end.
CAUTION:
Use only specified diesel fuels (see engine section for
details).
CAUTION:
When refueling:-
•
switch off the engine.
•
do not smoke.
•
extinguish all naked lights.
•
do not allow the fuel to come into contact with hot surfaces.
•
wear personal protective equipment.
F.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the machine with the canopy/doors in
the open position as this may cause overheating and operators to
be exposed to high noise levels.
