1. Keep sufficient distance (at least 5 ft) from the edges of excavations and slopes.
2.
Ensure that the machine is as level as possible.
The machine can be temporarily operated on a slope of not more than 15°.
3. Ensure accessibility so that all work on the machine can be carried out without danger or hin‐
drance. The operator panel must be accessible and within reach at any time.
4.
Fire hazard from build-up of heat and hot exhaust system!
Insufficient distance from a wall may well cause heat build-up that could damage the machine.
➤ Do not position the machine directly against a wall.
➤ Ensure always sufficient ventilation space around the machine.
5. Position the machine as far as possible from any wall.
6. Ensure there is enough free space all round and above the machine.
7. Keep air inlet and outlet openings free of obstructions so that the cooling air can flow freely
through the machine.
8. Install the machine ensuring that
■ exhaust gases and heated exhaust air can escape freely.
■ Do not allow exhaust gases and heated cooling air to be drawn into the compressor.
Note the wind direction! (see figure 21)
■ Ensure the unimpeded intake of fresh air (air intake, cooling air).
9.
Ambient temperature too low!
Frozen condensate and highly viscous engine or compressor cooling oil can cause damage
when starting the machine.
➤ Use winter grade engine oil.
➤ Use winter diesel fuel.
➤ Use low viscosity compressor cooling oil.
10. At ambient temperatures below 32 °F, follow the instructions in chapter 7.4.
