TM 9-4310-397-142-8. UNUSUALENVIRONMENT/WEATHER. -Continued(i)In cold weather it may be necessary to repeat the starting procedures. Do not repeat the procedures morethan two times in succession. Allow two minutes for evaporation of starting fluid. If engine does not startafter four attempts, push IGNITION-START switch (4) notify supervisor.(j)When engine water temperature reaches 140° F (60° C), as indicated on ENGINE WATER TEMPeraturegauge (9), close the hose reel valve (1) and appropriate double discharge valve (2) and turn COMPRessorUNLOADER AND IDLE CONTROL knob (3) counterclockwise until it stops. This action increases enginespeed and opens compressor intake valve to start compression.CAUTIONOperating the equipment unattended for prolonged periods of time can result in seriousdamage to the unit.(k)Unit is now ready for use and will cycle through load and unload automatically in relation to air demand.As demand increases, the engine will accelerate and the compressor will replenish compressed air supplyin the separator tank. As demand decreases, or stops, engine will return to idle and compressor will run inan unloaded condition until demand for air again causes unit to load.(l)Perform all the DURING PMCS as outlined in Table 2-1.(2) ShutdownProcedure. (See Figure 2-5.)(a) Turn COMPR UNLOADER AND IDLE CONTROL knob (3) clockwise until it stops.(b)Close hose reel valve (1) and appropriate double discharge valve (2).(c)When engine speed reduces to steady idle speed, push IGNITION-START switch (4) all the way in to stopthe engine.c.HotWeather(100° ForAbove)(38° Corabove).(See Figure 2-5.)(1) StartingProcedure.(a)Open hose reel valve (1) and appropriate double discharge valve (2).(b)Turn COMPRessor UNLOADER AND IDLE CONTROL knob (3) clockwise until it stops.(c)Pull IGNITION-START switch (4) out to first (run) position.NOTEEngine water temperature and compressor oil temperature must be at or below normalreadings before resetting relay reset switch.(d)Push relay reset switch (5).(e)Rotate PRIMING PUMP knob (10) until detent pin releases.2-34
