f.
After engine is running allow engine to
warm up a minimum of 5 minutes at 1,100 ± 100 rpm
(1,100 ± 100 r/min). During warm-up do not allow engine
speed to exceed 1,400 rpm (1,400 r/min). This will avoid
clutch plate drag.
CAUTION
If compressor oil pressure does not
register within 5 seconds, shut down
engine, and determine cause. Refer to
TROUBLESHOOTING, (Section V).
g.
After engine is warm, engage clutch by
pushing clutch handle toward panel with a hard fast
thrust. COMPRESSOR OIL PRESSURE gauge (5)
should indicate oil pressure within five seconds.
h.
Pull engine THROTTLE CONTROL to the
full out position and lock by turning handle in clockwise
direction until snug.
WARNING
Compressed air is dangerous. Make
certain that service hoses to be used are
not frayed, cracked, or deteriorated in
any way.

STARTING
UNDER
EXTREME
COLD
CONDITIONS, BELOW 5°F (-15°C). To start the air
compressor unit under extreme cold conditions, proceed
as follows:
a.
The air compressor unit shall be preheated
before operating in temperatures below 5°F (15°C).
b.
A steady flow of heated air should be
directed at the engine and air compressor for a minimum
period of 30 min. prior to starting the engine.
c.
Refer to para. 437 b. through i.
4-39.
