at the intervals specified.
AIR CONDITIONING RE-START PROCEDURE
If the machine has been idle for an extended period of time (2 weeks), the refrigerant in the air conditioning unit
converts from a gas to a liquid. This puts the compressor unit under a great deal of strain as it tries to compress
a liquid instead of a gas, and could cause a failure in the air conditioning unit. The following commissioning
procedure allows the air conditioning unit to achieve normal operating parameters.
1. Start the machine and allow it to run until the engine is at a normal operating temperature of 80 °C (176 °F)
2. Turn the blower control to setting 1.
3. Turn on the air conditioning unit for 5 seconds then off for 5 seconds.
4. Repeatedly switch the air conditioning on and off for at least 1 minute. This should be at least 12 repetitions.
5. Commissioning of the air conditioning unit is complete, and it is ready for use.
