General. This section covers information required by unit level maintenance personnel to ensure 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. 4-5. Site and Shelter Requirements. a. Site. 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 15 degrees in any direction. b. Shelter. Ensure all loose trash is removed from the area of the compressor, because refuse can be drawn into the cooling air inlets. Ensure compressor is not operated inside closed rooms or buildings. If such operation is mandatory, connect extension pipe to engine exhaust and pipe exhaust fumes outside. Also, ensure the compressor is protected from rain, wind, snow, dust, and tropical or desert sun. A temporary shelter should be provided by tarpaulins or other means. The maximum usage should be made of natural shelter such as trees, hills, and rock formations. 4-6. Service Upon Receipt. a. Inspection.
