SETTING UP (ALL UNITS)
Position as level as possible. The design of these units permits a 15 degree sidewise limit on
out-of-level operation.
When the unit is to be operated out-of-level, it is important:
1. To keep the engine crankcase oil level near the high level mark (with the unit level).
2. To have the compressor oil level gauge show no more than mid-scale. Do not overfill
either the engine crankcase or the compressor lubricating oil system.
3. The side doors must be closed to maintain a cooling air path and to avoid recirculation
hot air.
