Operation & Maintenance Manual Operating Instructions
36
Prior to Starting
1. Place the unit in a position that is as level as possible. The design of the unit
permits a 15 degree lengthways and sideways limit on out of level operation.
When the unit has to be operated out of level, it is important to keep the engine
oil level near the high level mark (with the unit level).
2. Check the engine lubrication oil in accordance with the operating instructions
in the Engine Operator's Manual or section.
3. Check the compressor oil level in the sight glass located on the separator tank.
4. Check the diesel fuel level. A good rule is to top up at the end of each working
day. This prevents condensation from occurring in the tank. Refer to the engine
operator's manual/section for diesel fuel specification.
When refuelling:-
• switch off the engine.
• do not smoke.
• extinguish all naked lights.
• do not allow the fuel to come into contact with hot surfaces.
• wear personal protective equipment.
5. Drain the fuel filter water separator of water, ensuring that any released fuel is
safely contained.
