11. Transport and storage:
11.1 Compressor transport.
To avoid spillages of fuel during transport of the compressor, the fuel valve must always
be closed and the compressor must be tied (so that it does not move).
NOTE: The compressor must be transported in its natural working position. Never
transport the compressor in other position (vertically or horizontally).
DANGER: Never start the compressor inside of a transport vehicle. The compressor
should only be used in good conditions of ventilation.
DANGER: When parked and with the compressor inside, the transport vehicle must
not be exposed to the sun for a long time. Excessive temperature increases (caused by
the sun exposure) and will evaporate the gasoline and to promote an explosive
environment inside the vehicle.
WARNING: In case of transport, do not fill too much the fuel tank.
CAUTION: To empty the fuel tank if the compressor will be transported over rough
roads or fields.
11.2 Compressor storage.
When stored for long periods of time, gasoline loses its properties and creates waste.
That can block the fuel path to the carburettor, making it difficult or impossible the
compressor starting. If the compressor does not run for long periods of time, it is
necessary to apply certain procedures.
Sporadic uses throughout the year:
With occasional use it is possible that the compressor will have difficulties with the
starting, to avoid it follow the instructions below:
1
Ensure that the compressor runs at least 30 minutes per month.
2
At the end of its use, close the fuel valve and wait until the engine stops by lack of
fuel.
3
Turn the stop button to the "OFF" position.
Long periods of inactivity:
It is considered the stops with more than 3 months, which may cause difficulties or even
directly avoid the starting, and produce an unstable speed on the engine. To avoid it:
