Daily pre-start checks · hour-based service schedule · fluids and capacities · safe work rules · warning actions.
Complete before the first start of each shift and again after transport or relocation.
Park level, secure the support leg and keep the rear upwind and away from walls or dirty exhaust air.
Act if: the unit is unstable or hot air can recirculate.
Check engine oil on the dipstick and check the radiator top tank only when cool.
Act if: oil is below safe range, coolant is low, leakage is visible or the system is hot.
Depressurize first; the compressor oil level gauge pointer must remain in the green range.
Act if: the pointer is outside green range or oil is foamy or contaminated.
Confirm sufficient diesel and drain fuel-filter water or sediment until clean fuel flows.
Act if: fuel is insufficient, contaminated, leaking or clean fuel does not flow.
With all pressure released, drain condensate. Close when oil appears and refit the drain plug.
Act if: pressure remains, the drain is blocked or abnormal water or debris is found.
Empty dust traps, check housings and reset the vacuum indicator after service.
Act if: dust reaches the safety element or the yellow piston reaches the red service range.
Inspect pipes, hoses, filter heads, receiver and drain points.
Act if: any pressurized air, oil or fuel leak is present.
Use pressure-rated hoses, secure the outlet end with a safety cable and keep outlet valves closed for connection and starting.
Act if: hose is cut, frayed, loose, leaking or being connected while pressurized.
Confirm guards are fitted, doors close and the panel self-test shows working gauges and circuits.
Act if: a guard is missing, a door cannot close or any warning circuit is not functioning.
Check the not-charging warning after engine start.
Act if: the warning remains on after the engine is running.
Before moving or towing, check brake operation, tyres, wheel security, tow eye and towbar joints.
Act if: brake, tyre, wheel or coupling condition is unsafe.
Use service hours or the applicable service date, whichever occurs first. Severe dust, high temperature or humidity may require shorter intervals.

Apply these work rules before non-routine maintenance or any pressurized-system service.
Stop the unit, prevent inadvertent starting and disconnect or insulate the battery before non-routine work.
Relieve the complete air system before opening the receiver, removing filler plugs or dismantling pressurized parts.
Replace removed gaskets, O-rings and washers during servicing.
Use service parts and service packs that match the machine serial number.
Record hour meter reading, parts, fluids, technician and next due service after each intervention.
Stop immediately for shutdown or pressure-safety conditions. Resolve action conditions before continued operation.
Action: stop and do not restart. Check engine oil level and leakage, then follow HA4CTI engine instructions.
Action: stop safely, allow full cooling, then check coolant level, leakage, radiator airflow and fan drive.
Action: stop and cool. Check location, hot-air recirculation, oil level, cooler, oil filter, fan and separator.
Action: unload and stop at a safe point. Check belt condition, terminals and charging circuit.
Action: replace the affected filter element, inspect housing and safety element, then reset the indicator.
Action: replace the oil separator element using the correct service procedure.
Action: unload, stop, isolate and fully depressurize. Keep clear of spray and repair before use.
Action: inspect check valve, oil stop valve, oil level and filter elements before restart.
Action: tag the compressor out of service and arrange qualified repair before operation.
