3-4. General. This section contains information required by 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.
3-5. Site and Shelter Requirements. The usage site for the Diving Air Compressor should be selected so as to avoid
excessive dust, mud, rain, snow, heat or cold. The Diving Air compressor must be kept as level as possible. The Diving
Air Compressor must never be operated if it is tilted at an angle in excess of 15° in any direction.
Make sure all loose trash is removed from the area of the equipment because refuse can be drawn into the cooling air
inlets. Diving Air 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.
Diving Air 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, out croppings
and rock formation should be used.
