Pre-Operation Checks
IMPORTANT
Perform all pre-operation checks prior to starting
the unit. Establish and maintain a pre-operation
inspection procedure for the compressor and
related accessories. Routine inspection of the
equipment is the responsibility of the organization
using the equipment, and must be in accordance
with technical and service guidelines provided by
SCOTT Safety.
Consult the manufacturer’s material safety data
sheets (MSDS) for any chemicals or uids used in
the operation of this equipment. Failure to do so
may result in exposure to toxic chemicals leading to
serious personal injury.
Quarter-Turn Screws
Be sure to lift up on the panels when removing them from
the unit. The bottom edge of the panel is held in place
by pins that may be bent and damaged if the panel is
not removed properly.
1. Use a at-blade screwdriver (or at edge of a coin)
to loosen the 1/4-turn fasteners on the top left and
right of the access panel.
2. Tilt the top of the panel slightly forward, approximately
2 or 3 inches away from the enclosure.
3. Lift the panel up to remove the bottom edge from the
protruding pins. Be careful not to bend the enclosure
pins. Place the access panel in a safe place while
performing the pre-operation checks.
ALWAYS replace the panel prior to starting the
compressor. To replace the enclosure panel:
1. Tilting the panel at an angle, place the bottom edge
of the panel onto the pins. Do not replace the panel
without rst setting the bottom pins correctly.
2. Position the top of the panel flush with the
enclosure.
3. Secure the 1/4-turn fasteners at the top-left and
top-right of the panel using a at-blade screwdriver
or coin.
NEVER perform service on this equipment unless
the electric power is switched OFF at the main
terminal, the compressor is completely stopped, and
all residual air pressure has been released from the
system. Follow your organization’s safety procedures
or the recommendations of the OSHA Lock Out/Tag
Out procedures. Failure to secure the equipment may
result in exposure to high pressure air or electrical
current that may result in serious injury or death.
NOTE
The actual appearance of the equipment may vary
depending on the model and options installed.
Removing the Cab Air Cabinet Enclosure
(For enclosed units only)
It may be necessary to remove the optional Cab Air
cabinet enclosure prior to performing pre-operation
checks. There are two styles of cabinet panels: Quarter-
Turn Screws and Finger Screws.
