Using This Manual

General operation and maintenance guidelines are outlined for owners and operators of Kice Air

Power Units. Operating conditions vary considerably and cannot be addressed individually. Through

experience however, operators should have no diculty in developing good operating, safety and

monitoring skills.

The terms “disconnect and lockout” or “lockout/tagout” as used in this manual means that power to

the Kice Air Power Unit has been disconnected through the use of a padlockable, manual power cuto

or power lockout switch pursuant to 29CFR1910.147.

Photographs and illustrations were current at the time of printing but subsequent production changes

may cause your Kice Air Power Unit to vary slightly in detail. Kice Industries, Inc. reserves the right to

redesign and change the air power unit as deemed necessary, without notiﬁcation. If a change has

been made to your Kice Air Power Unit that is not reﬂected in this owner’s manual or the Illustrated

Parts Lists, write or call Kice Industries, Inc. for current information and parts.

Model and Serial Number

The model of the Kice Air Power Unit, serial number and date of manufacture can be found stamped

on the metal identiﬁcation plate (see Figure 1) located on the frame structure (see Figure 2).

The Kice Air Power Unit has been inspected at Kice and should be in excellent condition upon delivery.

A thorough customer inspection of the Kice Air Power Unit should be completed upon receipt to verify

its condition.

The Kice Air Power Unit and accessories should be inspected upon receipt for any shipping damage.

Check for free operation of all moving parts before signing o on the receiver.

NOTICE: Delivery inspection should be completed before signing carrier’s release.

When a carrier signs the Kice Industries, Inc. bill of lading, the carrier accepts responsibility for any

subsequent shortages or damage, evident or concealed. Therefore any resulting claim must be made

against the carrier by the purchaser. Evident shortage or damage should be noted on the carrier’s

delivery document before signature of acceptance. Inspection by the carrier for damage, evident or

concealed, must be requested.

Complete a visual inspection paying particular attention to guards, overall external condition,

protrusions (i.e. mating ﬂanges, attachment points, valves, etc.) and safety decals while the Kice

Air Power Unit is still secured to the freight platform.

Kice Air Power Units are shipped in many dierent conﬁgurations. Some units are completely

assembled and skidded when size permits. These units may be handled and moved using good

rigging techniques, being careful to avoid concentrated stresses that will distort any of the parts. Items

or parts of the air power unit that are shipped knocked down will be clearly labeled for reassemble. If

the air power unit is not to be installed promptly, store it in a clean, dry location to prevent rust and

corrosion of steel components. If outdoor storage is necessary, protection should be provided. Cover

the inlet and outlets to prevent the accumulation of dirt and moisture inside the body.

Long Term Storage

1. Spray the interior (lobes, housing and end plates) with a rust preventative.

2. Fill both end reservoirs with the recommended level of oil.

3. Firmly attach a very prominent tag stating that the end reservoirs contain oil and must be drained

and reﬁlled to proper levels prior to startup.

4. Apply rust preventative grease to the drive shaft.

5. Attach a desiccant bag to either of the port ﬁtting caps to prevent condensation from occurring

inside the air power unit. Make sure any desiccant bag (or bags) is so attached to the covers that

they will be removed when dust cover is removed. It is imperative that these be removed before

startup of the air power unit.
