4-4. 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.
