LOW FUEL

If the engine has shut down because of low fuel, fuel will need to be added before the engine can be

restarted. The following steps will need to be completed before attempting to restart the engine:

Turn the ignition switch to

OFF

Fill fuel tank with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel only.

Turn the ignition switch to

Restart the engine. Follow procedures in

5.3 Normal Starting

5.8

OPERATING UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS

Make sure that the correct type and viscosity of lubricating oils and fuel are used, especially in extreme

ambient temperatures.

5.8.1 COLD WEATHER OPERATION

Use the correct coolant anti-freeze solution and engine oil for the lowest possible temperature

expected.

When operating the compressor at ambient temperatures below 20°F, use lubricants suited for these

conditions. Refer to

6.3 Compressor Lubrication on page 25

for lubricating oil specifications.

optional starting aids and component pre-starting warming devices are available for some models for

cold weather starting.

WARNING!

Do not inject ether starting fluid directly into air intake.

5.8.2 HOT WEATHER OPERATION

Keep the engine cooling system filled with clean coolant.

Check the coolant level daily or before each shift.

Keep the outside of the radiator and oil cooler clean.

Locate the unit in a well-ventilated area.

When operating in humid conditions, change the compressor oil more frequently.

5.8.3 DUSTY OR SANDY AREAS

When possible, wet down the area surrounding the operating site to keep dust and blowing sand to a

minimum.

Inspect air filters before each operating shift or daily.

Keep radiator and oil cooler clean. Check daily and wash or blow clean as needed.

WARNING!

Check the compressor sump oil level only when the compressor is not operating and system is completely

relieved of pressure. Open pressure relief valve to ensure relief of system air pressure when performing

maintenance on compressor air/oil system. Failure to comply with this warning may cause property

damage and serious bodily harm or death.

5.9

PNEUMATIC TOOLS APPLICATION

WARNING!

Compressed air can be dangerous. Serious injury or death can result from the improper selection, use or

application of tools and attachments to this compressor.

Never inject compressed air into a bodily orifice. Never direct compressed air at or toward a person or

animal.

Do not breathe air produced by a portable air compressor.

Install an appropriate flow-limiting valve between the compressor service air outlet and the shut-off
(throttle) valve when an air hose exceeding 0.5-inch inside diameter is to be connected to the shut-off
(throttle) valve. This is to reduce pressure in case of hose or connection failure, per OSHA Standard 29
CFR 1926.302 (as) (7).

When a hose will be used to supply a manifold, install an appropriate flow-limiting valve between the
manifold and each air hose exceeding 0.5-inch inside diameter that is to be connected to the manifold.

This will reduce pressure in case of hose failure.
