MAINTENANCE
GENERAL5.1
Consistent and correctly performed maintenance will
ensure the compressor’s performance and extend its
operational life. See Part Replacement and Adjustment
Procedures on page 33 for a detailed description of
specic compressor components. Before performing
maintenance actions, read the CIMA Safety Manual, if
applicable. For engine maintenance requirements and
procedures, refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual.

See Initial Startup Shutdown/Procedure on page 30 for
general operation.
NOTE
Dispose of uids in accordance with
applicable federal, state and local
regulations.
WARNING
DO NOT remove caps. Plugs
and/or other components when
the compressor is running or
pressurized. Shutdown the
compressor before removing any
components.
NOTE
The radiator and engine cooling
system must be drained and ushed
every 1500 hours. Replace the
solution coolant with a 50% ethylene
glycol and 50% water solution or as
required for local climatic conditions.
DO NOT use a leak-sealing type
antifreeze. All engines must have
Supplemental Coolant Additive (SCA)
added to the engine coolant system.
Refer to the Engine Operator’s
Manual for specic requirements.
If uid must be added too frequently
at startup, a problem might have
developed causing an excessive
uid loss. See Trouble Shooting
on page 38 (Excessive Fluid
Consumption) for a probable cause
and remedy. After the compressor
has warmed-up, make a general
inspection of its components and
instrument panel to ensure that the
compressor is running properly.
