Introduction
* The most indispensable for human existence is air.
* Nature has given this abundantly in atmosphere.
* Man converts air in to energy for some useful work.
* IR is one such industry who knows the value of air.
* We have made research on compressed air for ages.
* Compressed air has many use full things to do.
1. Flushing of Drilled holes.
2. Combustion in an IC Engine.
3. To blow air in a tube of a vehicle.
4. For a pneumatic tool operation.
5 For Oxygen in an intensive care unit etc.

Engine Radiator
Engine cooling avoids combustion chamber damage
To maintain operating temperature in the safe limits
To maintain efficiency of the engine
To prevent damage to moving parts
Maintenance of Radiator and oil cooler
Clean outside and fins with air . Keep the core clean
Prevent sludge and rust in ROC
Use right coolent oil not Plain water in Radiator
Air cooling is by fan ensure proper mounting of fan
Efficiency reduces when dust accumulates on fins.

GAUGES * Essential for safety of the system
Inspect Gauges
* To Maximize Productivity
Periodically
* Long service life of the machine

SAFETY SHUT DOWN SYSTEM
Maintain the three switches EOT --- EOP ---- ADT
CAUTION
Never operate the unit with a defective
safety shut down switch or by shorting
over a switch.

HOSES * Inspect intake line hoses to cooler and filter
* Clean brake and fuel line hoses
* Ensure no hose leakages
* Ensure No contact with rotating parts
* Ensure all the hoses are clamped and secured
* check for the damage of the hose fittings

SAFETY TO THE MACHINE
Ensure the machine is fully secured in the running gear mechanism
Ensure the fins of the Radiator and oil cooler is clean and not chocked
Ensure the throttle cylinder orifice is clean air easily bleeds out
Ensure all the air and hydraulic hoses are tightened and secured properly
Ensure all the thermal cut outs like ADT, EOT, EWT, etc are proper
Ensure no air leakage in the air lines and replace damaged parts
Periodically make a walk around test and ensure all bolts/ nuts are secured
Check for the cleanliness of oil in the separator and other areas.
SAFETY TO OTHERS
Do not allow other to stand closer to the machine
Never used compressed for filling Auto tyre with out Aids
