STARTING / STOPPING
BEFORE STARTING
1. Before initial start-up, prepare battery for operation if
not already done. See section Recharging a battery.
2. With the compressor standing level, check the level
of the engine oil. Add oil, if necessary, to the upper
mark on 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. The pointer of
oil level gauge (OLG) should register in the green
range. Add oil if necessary. See section Engine oil
for the oil to be used.
4. Check that the fuel tank contains sufficient fuel. Top
up, if necessary. Consult the Engine Operation Man-
ual for the type of fuel.
5. Drain any water and sediment from the fuel filters
until clean fuel flows from the drain cock. See sec-
tion .
6. Empty the dust trap of each air filter (AF). See sec-
tion Cleaning the dust trap.
7. Clogged air filter(s) will be indicated on the display
of the control panel, see section Fault codes. If indi-
cated, replace the filter elements.
8. Check coolant level in engine coolant top tank. Top
up, if necessary. Consult the Engine Operation Man-
ual for coolant specifications.
9. Attach the air line(s) to the closed air outlet valve(s).
Connect the safety chain.
10. Use hoses with suitable pressure rating and fit for the
environmental conditions. Inspect hoses and connec-
tions daily.
11. Check connections on the hour meter. Do not reverse
polarity. Reversing polarity will lead to damage of
the meter.
Safety precautions
Make sure the fuel tank is filled up.
Before removing 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, follow the
specific start procedure as described in
section .
Do not switch off the circuit breaker when
the control box is switched on. This may
cause memory loss.
