STARTING/STOPPING
BEFORE STARTING
1. Before initial start-up, prepare battery for
operation if not already done. See section Battery
care.
2. With the compressor standing level, check the
level of the engine oil. Add oil, if necessary, up to
the upper mark on the dipstick. Also check the
engine coolant level. Consult the Engine
Operation Manual for the type of coolant and type
and viscosity grade of the engine oil.
3. Check the level of the compressor oil. See section
Compressor regulating system. The pointer of
the oil level gauge (OLG) should register in the
green range. Add oil if necessary. See section Oil
specifications for the oil to be used.
4. Check that the fuel tank contains sufficient fuel.
Top up, if necessary. Consult the Engine
Operation Manual for the type of fuel.
5. Drain any water and sediment from the fuel filters
until clean fuel flows from the drain cock. See
section Draining instructions.
6. Empty the dust trap of each air filter (AF). See
section Cleaning the dust trap.
7. Check coolant level in engine coolant top tank.
Top up, if necessary. Consult the Engine
Operation Manual for coolant specifications.
8. Attach the air line(s) to the closed air outlet
valve(s). Connect the safety chain.
Safety precautions
Make sure the fuel tank is filled up.
Always use low sulphur diesel and low
SAP engine oils. Sulphur poisons the
catalytic coating of the DOC reducing its
usefulness.
Avoid running at low loads (unload), as
it will generate insufficient heat for a
proper functioning of the Diesel
Oxidation Catalyst (DOC).
Avoid short term starting and stopping.
Unsuccessful start attempts generate a
lot of soot and can cause heavy soot load
in the filter.
Before removing the oil filler plug (FP),
ensure that the pressure is released by
opening an air outlet valve.
No external force may be applied to the
air outlet valve(s), e.g. by pulling hoses
or by connecting equipment directly to
the valve(s).
Do not disconnect power supply to
control box in any way when the control
box is switched on. This will cause
memory loss.
When the compressor is put in operation
for the first time and after running out of
fuel or changing the fuel filter, it may
take some seconds before the machine
will start.
Do not switch off the circuit breaker
when the control box is switched on. This
will cause memory loss.
