7.11 STAND-BY PROCEDURES
This procedure provides direction regarding the
proper maintenance of the DE-18 in stand-by
applications. Stand-by applications are defined as
applications in which the compressor is connected to
a larger pipe system that is pressurized by another
source such as permanently installed electric air
compressors. In this instance, the DE-18 is not
intended to start up until there is a demand for
pressure. It is important that certain procedures are
followed to maintain the DE-18 so that when the
demand for air occurs, the engine will start and the
machine will perform as expected.
STAND-BY MAINTENANCE
In addition to the standard maintenance procedures
as stated in the manual, the following items must be
completed once every month for DE-18 compressors
set up in stand-by:
• CHECK FLUID LEVEL
—Engine Oil (dipstick)
—Compressor Oil (oil sump sight glass)
—Engine Coolant (coolant reservoir)
• VERIFY BATTERY VOLTAGE IS 24V OR ABOVE
(see voltmeter on control panel)
