CHAPTER 2
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Section I. SERVICE UPON RECEIPT OF EQUIPMENT
6. New Equipment
a. General. The 210G1 compressor is mounted permanently on the truck chassis and no crating or packing is
required. Refer to the TM9-819 for unloading methods and precautions pertaining to the truck.
b. Removal of Preservative Compounds and Devices (fig. 7). All engine openings, electrical component openings,
control system components and gages have been preserved and protected in accordance with applicable specifications for
oversea shipment, and the compressor is not ready for operation until the necessary depreservation services have been
performed. Protected points are illustrated in figure 7. Remove the moisture-proof barrier from the generator (1), hose
reel (2), instrument panel (3), fuel level gage (3) and air lines (6). Peel the wax-like sealer from the receiver service valves
(3), drain cocks (3), air filter covers (5), oil filler cap (5) and safety valve (6). Unwrap the paper from the generator drive
belt (4). After all preservatives and tapes have been removed, wipe the protected surfaces of the various components with
a cloth dampened in solvent to remove all traces of preservative. After battery cables have' been unwrapped, clean
terminal posts carefully and connect cables between the batteries.
c. Inspection. Check the entire unit carefully for evidence of possible damage during shipment. Make certain that all
controls operate freely and easily; and that all attaching bolts and nuts are tight. If the compressor housing appears
dented or otherwise damaged, open the access doors at that point and examine the compressor parts carefully behind the
apparent point of impact. Check the radiator, exhaust pipe weather cap, and panel meters for damage. Open the access
doors and check the control cable and wiring for mechanical damage and frayed insulation. Correct any damage
immediately or report to proper authority.
d. Service.
(1) Drain the preservative oil from the crankcase and lubricate the equipment as instructed in paragraph 42.
