TM 9-4310-394-13 Section III. OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS 2-7. ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE. The air compressor unit is delivered fully assembled and requires no further assembly before use. Before the air compressor unit can be put to use, however, it must be prepared for operation as described by the following procedures. a. Filling the Fuel Tank. (Refer to Figure 2-2.) Before starting the air compressor unit, the fuel tank must be fined with fuel. The unit can be operated on various fuels or JP8 jet fuel. Contact your supervisor to find out which fuel will be used in your unit. To fill the fuel tank, perform the following procedures. (1) Check the fuel tank gauge (1) on the top of the fuel tank (2) to insure that fuel tank is filled with fuel. If fuel tank is not full, perform steps (2) through (5) to fill the tank. WARNING Improper care in handling fuel can cause fire and explosion which can cause severe injury or death to operating personnel. To avoid fire or explosion during engine refueling: DO NOT allow any flame producing material within 50 feet (15.25 m) of fuel during equipment filling. DO NOT smoke while refueling. DO NOT let fuel drip onto any hot surface. DO NOT overfill fuel tank. DO NOT refuel unit while engine is running. (2) Remove fuel tank cap (3). (3) Check the inlet fuel strainer (4) inside the top of the fuel tank (2) and carefully remove any debris that may have collected inside the strainer. (4) Carefully pour fuel from the fuel container into the fuel tank (2) while checking the fuel gauge (1) on the top of the fuel tank. When the fuel gauge indicates that the tank is full, stop filling fuel tank. (5) Replace fuel tank cap (3) onto fuel tank (2). (6) Turn handle on fuel valve (6) toward rear of unit to allow fuel from fuel tank to enter engine. b. Alternate Fuel Source. The three way fuel valve can be used to connect the air compressor unit to an alternate source of fuel. To connect to an auxiliary fuel source, perform the following procedures. (1) Attach fuel hose from auxiliary fuel source onto hose fitting (5) on fuel valve (6). (2) Turn fuel valve (6) handle to front of unit. c. Connection of Motor Starter to Auxiliary Power Source. Before the electric motor starter on the engine can be used, it must be connected to an external electric power source. To connect the starter to this power source, perform the following steps. 2-12
