Section III. SERVICE UPON RECEIPT OF EQUIPMENT
4-6.
SCOPE
This section covers information required by organizational maintenance personnel to insure the equipment will be
adequately inspected, serviced and operationally tested before it is subjected to normal use. These procedures
include site and shelter requirements, service upon receipt of material, and preliminary servicing and adjustment.
4-7.
SITE AND SHELTER REQUIREMENTS
The usage site for the compressor should be selected so as to avoid excessive dust, mud, rain, snow, heat or
cold. The compressor must be kept as level as possible. The compressor must never be operated if it is tilted at
an angle in excess of 150 in any direction. Whenever operation on a slope is necessary, position the compressor
with the drawbar pointing either up or down the slope. Block the wheels, set the parking brake and level the
compressor with the adjustable landing gear.
Make sure all loose trash is removed from the area of the compressor because refuse can be drawn into the
cooling air inlets. Compressor should not be operated inside closed rooms or buildings. If such operation is
mandatory, connect extension pipe to engine exhaust, and pipe exhaust fumes outside.
Compressor should be protected from rain, wind, snow, dust and tropical or desert sun. Temporary shelter should
be provided by tarpaulins or other means. Maximum usage of natural shelter such as trees, hills, outcroppings
and rock formations should be used.
