WARNING
!
Do not remove pressure cap from a HOT radiator. Allow radiator to cool down
before removing pressure cap. Use extreme care when removing a pressure cap
from a liquid cooling system for the engine. The sudden release of pressure from
a heated cooling system can result in a loss of coolant and possible severe
personal injury.
• Check the engine oil level. Maintain per marks on dipstick.
• Check the fuel level. Add only CLEAN low or ultra low sulfur diesel fuel for maximum
service from the engine.
• Check the compressor lubricating fluid level between bottom and midway of the sight glass
on the separator tank.
WARNING
!
This machine produces loud noise with doors open. Extended exposure to loud
noise can cause hearing loss. Wear hearing protection when doors or valve (s) are
open.
• Close all doors to maintain a cooling air path and to avoid recirculation of hot air. This will
maximize the life of the engine and compressor and protect the hearing of surrounding
personnel.
• Be sure no one is IN or ON the compressor unit.
WARNING
!
Unrestricted air flow from a hose will result in a whipping motion of the hose which
can cause severe injury or death. A safety device must be attached to the hose at
the source of supply to reduce pressure in case of hose failure or other sudden
pressure release. Reference: OSHA regulation 29 CFR Section 1926.302 (b).
Starting
