Transport
➤
Shut down and fully disconnect the machine before transporting it.
➤ Allow transport only by personnel trained in safely dealing with motor vehicles and the trans‐
port of goods.
➤ Ensure that no persons are on the machine when transporting.
➤ If the machine is towed on public roads, the local regulations regarding safe road transport
must be observed.
➤ The maximum permissible load for the towing vehicle coupling and the maximum coupling load
given for the machine must not be exceeded.
➤ If the tow-bar is not horizontal, towing instability can develop and damage to the machine oc‐
cur.
➤ When the machine is lifted by a crane, the safety regulations relating to the crane and lifting
slings must be observed.
■ Do not enter the danger zone while the machine is being lifted.
■ Never lift the machine over people or residential buildings.
■ Secondary or attached loads may not:
─ cause excessive loading on the machine's lifting point (lifting eye),
─ adversely influence the machine's centre of gravity so that it hangs out of square.
■ Use lifting slings that are suitable for the loads to which they will be subjected.
■ Use only hooks and shackles that comply with local safety regulations
■ Do not attach cables, chains or ropes directly to the machine's lifting eye.
■ Do not tamper with the fixing points of the lifting eye.
■ Avoid jerking when lifting, as this may damage components.
■ Loads must be slowly lifted and carefully set down.
■ Never allow the load to hang from the crane longer than necessary.
■ Transporting by slinging beneath a helicopter is forbidden.
Positioning
➤ Do not position the compressor directly against a wall. A build up of heat from the exhaust can
damage the machine.
➤ Do not operate in areas in which specific requirements regarding explosion protection are in
force.
➤ Ensure adequate ventilation.
➤ Ensure that required ambient conditions are maintained with regard to:
■ ambient temperature,
■ clean inlet air with no damaging contaminants,
■ inlet air free of explosive or chemically unstable gases or vapors,
■ inlet air free of exhaust gasses from internal combustion engines,
■ inlet air free of acid/alkaline forming substances, particularly ammonia, chlorine or hydro‐
gen sulfide.
➤ Do not position the machine in warm exhaust air from other machines.
➤ Ensure accessibility so that all work on the machine can be carried out without danger or hin‐
drance.
➤ Chock the wheels to prevent unwanted movement.
