3.1.1 PARKING INSTRUCTIONS
Fig. 3.1 Non-adjustable towbar with standard support leg without brakes
Fig. 3.2 Adjustable towbar with jockey wheel and brakes
When parking a compressor, secure support leg (1) or jockey wheel
(2) to support the compressor in a level position. Be sure that the
jockey wheel (2) is blocked by the blocking pin (6).
Apply parking brake by pulling parking brake handle (3) upwards.
Place the compressor as level as possible; however, it can be
operated temporarily in an out-of-level position not exceeding 15°. If
the compressor is parked on sloping ground, immobilize the
compressor by placing wheel chocks (available as option) in front of
or behind the wheels. Locate the rear-end of the compressor upwind,
(see Fig. 3.4), away from contaminated wind-streams and walls.
Avoid recirculation of exhaust air from the engine. This causes
overheating and engine power decrease.
