PARKING INSTRUCTIONS
Fixed towbar with jockey wheel and brakes
Rear-end of compressor upwind
Parking position of jockey wheel (adjustable towbar)
When parking a compressor, secure the jockey wheel
(2) to support the compressor in a level position.
Apply parking brake by pulling parking brake handle
(1) 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, away from
contaminated wind-streams and walls. Avoid
recirculation of exhaust air from the engine. This can
cause overheating and engine power decrease.
The operator is expected to apply all
relevant Safety precautions.
Before putting the compressor in to use,
check the brake system as described in
section Brake shoe adjustment.
After the first 100 km travel:
Check and retighten the wheel nuts and
towbar bolts to the specified torque. See
section Compressor / engine
specifications.
Check the brake adjustment. See section
Brake shoe adjustment.
When the engine is running, the air
outlet valves (ball valves) must always be
put in fully opened or fully closed
position.
When towing, lifting or transporting the
compressor in any way, the battery
switch must always be in the “OFF”
position!
