Safety Precautions
General Information
Never operate unit without first observing all safety warnings and carefully reading the
operation and maintenance manual shipped from the factory with this machine.
Ensure that the operator reads and understands the decals and consults the manuals before
maintenance or operation.
Ensure that maintenance personnel are adequately trained, competent and have read the
Maintenancce Manuals.
Make sure that all protective covers are in place and that the canopy/doors are closed during
operation.
The specification of this machine is such that the machine is not suitable for use in flammable
gas risk areas. If such an application is required then all local regulations, codes of practice
and site rules must be observed. To ensure that the machine can operate in a safe and reliable
manner, additional equipment such as gas detection, exhaust spark arrestors, and intake
(shut-off) valves may be required, dependent on local regulations or the degree of risk
involved.
A weekly visual check must be made on all fasteners/fixing screws securing mechanical parts.
In particular, safety-related parts such as coupling hitch, drawbar components, road-wheels,
and lifting bail should be checked for total security.
All components which are loose, damaged or unserviceable, must be rectified without delay.
Air discharged from this machine may contain carbon monoxide or other contaminants which
will cause serious injury or death. Do not breathe this air.
This machine produces loud noise with the doors open or service valve vented. Extended
exposure to loud noise can cause hearing loss. Always wear hearing protection when doors
are open or service valve is vented.
Never inspect or service unit without first disconnecting battery cable(s) to prevent accidental
starting.
Do not use petroleum products (solvents or fuels) under high pressure as this can penetrate
the skin and result in serious illness. Wear eye protection while cleaning unit with compressed
air to prevent debris from injuring eye(s).
Rotating fan blade can cause serious injury. Do not operate without guard in place.
Use care to avoid contacting hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold and piping, air receiver
and air discharge piping, etc.).
Ether is an extremely volatile, highly inflammable gas. When it is specified as a starting aid,
use sparingly. DO NOT USE ETHER IF THE MACHINE HAS GLOW PLUGS OR INLET
HEATER STARTING AIDS OR ENGINE DAMAGE WILL RESULT.
12 Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A

Safety Operating & Maintenance Manual
Never operate unit with guards, covers or screens removed. Keep hands, hair, clothing, tools,
blow gun tips, etc. well away from moving parts.
Compressed Air
Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectly handled. Before doing any work on the unit,
ensure that all pressure is vented from the system and that the machine cannot be started
accidentally.
Ensure that the machine is operating at the rated pressure and that the rated pressure is
known to all relevant personnel.
All air pressure equipment installed in or connected to the machine must have safe working
pressure ratings of at least the machine safety valve setting.
If more than one compressor is connected to one common downstream plant, effective check
valves and isolation valves must be fitted and controlled by work procedures, so that one
machine cannot accidentally be pressurized or over pressurized by another.
Compressed air must not be used for a direct feed to any form of breathing apparatus or mask.
High Pressure Air can cause serious injury or death. Relieve pressure before removing filler
plugs/caps, fittings or covers.
Air pressure can remain trapped in air supply line which can result in serious injury or death.
Always carefully vent air supply line at tool or vent valve before performing any service.
The discharged air contains a very small percentage of compressor lubricating oil and care
should be taken to ensure that downstream equipment is compatible.
If the discharged air is to be ultimately released into a confined space, adequate ventilation
must be provided.
When using compressed air, always use appropriate personal protective equipment.
All pressure containing parts, especially flexible hoses and their couplings, must be regularly
inspected, be free from defects and be replaced according to the Manual instructions.
Avoid bodily contact with compressed air.
The safety valve located in the separator tank must be checked periodically for correct
operation.
Whenever the machine is stopped, air will flow back into the compressor system from devices
or systems downstream of the machine unless the service valve is closed. Install a check valve
at the machine service valve to prevent reverse flow in the vent of an unexpected shutdown
when the service valve is open.
Disconnected air hoses whip and can cause serious injury or death. Always attach a safety
flow restrictor to each hose at the source of supply or branch line in accordance with OSHA
Regulation 29CFR Section 1926.302(b).
Never allow the unit to sit stopped with pressure in the receiver-separator system.

Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A 25

Before Towing
Ensure that the tires, wheels and running gear are in good condition and secure.
Towing
Do not tow this unit in excess of 20 mph (32km/hr). Use a tow vehicle whose towing capacity
is greater than the gross weight of this unit.
Setting Up (All Units)

Place the unit in an open, well-ventilated area. Position as level as possible. The design of
these units permits a maximum 15 degree sidewise limit on out-of-level operation.
When the unit is to be operated out-of-level, it is important: (1) to keep the engine crankcase
oil level near the high level mark (with the unit level), and (2) to have the compressor oil level
gauge show no more than mid-scale (with the unit running at full load). Do not overfill either
the engine crankcase or the compressor lubricating oil system.
Chock wheels.
! WARNING
Do not connect the air discharge on this unit onto a common header with
any other unit of any description, or any other source of compressed air,
without first making sure a check-valve is used between the header and
the unit. If this unit is connected in parallel with another unit of higher
discharge pressure and capacity, a safety hazard could occur in a back-
flow condition.
! WARNING
Unrestricted air flow from a hose will result in a whipping motion of the
hose which can cause serious injury or death. A safety device must be
attached to the hose at the source of supply to reduce pressure in case
of hose failure or other sudden pressure release. Reference: OSHA
regulation 29 CFR Section 1926.302 (b).
26 Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A

Air hose restraining cable installation:

Secure hose restraining cable at each end to prevent accidental hose whipping. At the
machine-side of the air hose, install and secure one end of the hose restraining cable on the
3” nipple on the inlet side of the 3” service valve. Install the other end of the hose restraining
cable over the main hose connector.
Install suitable 3” air hose between service valve on unit and point of air use. The air hose must
be rated for outdoor use and for pressurized air service. Minimum rating is 250°F (121°C) and
200 psig (HP) or 425 psig (XHP).
Before Starting
Open manual blowdown valve to ensure the separator has been vented of all pressure. Close
the valve before starting.
Inspect the complete installation including remote fuel lines (if any) and air hose routing and
connections.
Check battery for proper connections and condition.
! WARNING
Combustible gas can cause severe burns, blindness or death. Keep
sparks and open flame away from battery.
• Check the compressor fluid level. Maintain the fluid level between bottom and
midway of the sight glass on the separator tank.
• Check engine oil level. The proper level is labeled on the engine dipstick. Add oil
when required. Do not overfill.
• To jump-start, connect the positive booster/charger cable to the 24VDC positive (+)
terminal of the battery. Then connect the negative booster/charger cable to the
engine block...Not to the negative (-) terminal of the weak battery. After starting,
disconnect the negative (-) cable from engine block; then from the booster battery/
charger. Disconnect positive (+) cable from both batteries.
Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A 27

! WARNING
Do not remove the cap from a HOT engine radiator. The sudden release
of pressure from a heated cooling system can result in a loss of coolant
and possible severe personal injury.
! WARNING
Hot pressurized fluid can cause serious burns. Do not open radiator while
hot.
Check coolant to assure coolant level is at minimum level when the unit is cold.
Check engine coolant level on coolant recovery bottle on inside of rear door. Add coolant as
required.
Insure that radiator cap is installed properly and tightened.
NOTE: This machine will not allow engine starting if engine coolant is low.
NOTICE
If the appropriate mixture of antifreeze is not used during freezing
temperatures, failure to drain the engine may cause costly engine
damage. Never use water only, as corrosion inhibitors are required in
engine coolant fluid.
! CAUTION
No smoking, sparks, or open flame near fuel.
Check the fuel level. Add only CLEAN DIESEL fuel for maximum service from the engine.
Refer to the Engine Operator’s Section for fuel specifications.
NOTICE
To minimize condensation (water) in the fuel tank, it is recommended to
fill the tank at the end of each day.
28 Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A

NOTE: This machine will not allow engine starting if the fuel level is below
the minimum fuel shut off level.
! WARNING
This machine produces loud noise with doors open. Extended exposure
to loud noise can cause hearing loss. Wear hearing protection when
doors or valve(s) are open.
• Close the side doors to maintain a cooling air path and to avoid recirculation of hot
air. This will maximize the life of the engine and compressor and protect the hearing
of surrounding personnel.
• Make sure no one is IN or ON the compressor unit.
Starting
NOTICE
This unit is equipped with a battery disconnect switch which removes
power from the machine controller for long term storage. The switch is
located on the side of the engine near the battery.
This switch must be turned ON to provide power to the control panel for
starting this unit.
Close the air service valve to isolate the compressor from the compressed air tool until the
engine is warmed up.
1. Turn the keyswitch to the “ON” position (first position). All diagnostic lamps and
the LED display will light for two (2) seconds. All lamps should then go off and
ALTERNATOR NOT CHARGING and LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE lamps
will flash.
2. In freezing weather (below 32°F/0°C), flip HEATERS switch “ON” and wait sixty
(60 seconds). This applies heat to the control system components for easier
starting. Leave this switch “ON” while operating at these temperatures.
3. When the keyswitch is turned to “START” the engine starter will be engaged.
Do not operate the engine starter motor for more than ten (10) seconds
without allowing at least one minute cooling time between start attempts.
Extended engine starter engagement will result in starter drop-out and generate a
starter engagement time fault.
Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A 29

! CAUTION
Ether is an extremely volatile, high flammable gas. Use Sparingly! If too
much is injected, the uncontrolled explosion may result in costly damage
to the engine.
4. In cold weather, as required, press the ETHER INJECT button once or twice
only while the engine is cranking. This injects a measured amount of ETHER
to the engine.
5. Following a successful start, the engine will accelerate to 1200 rpm initially,
then 1500 rpm for warm-up. Compressor discharge pressure will be maintained
at 60 psi during warm-up. After warm-up, rpm will maintain 1200 rpm idle.
6. Press the LOAD button. The engine will increase speed up to 1800 rpm until
the pressure reaches the desired set point.
After the engine has warmed up, open the service air valve to supply air to compressed air tool.
Normal Operation
The Operator may observe and monitor operating parameters using the gages on the panel.
In the event the machine controller detects a parameter outside normal operating limits, the
unit will shutdown.
In the event the machine controller detects a parameter at a dangerously high or low level, the
machine will be automatically stopped with the cause of the SHUTDOWN shown on the
diagnostic lights and display.
Delivered air volume at set point pressure is accomplished by two methods:
1. The compressor is loaded (inlet valve fully open or modulated partially open) or
unloaded (inlet valve fully closed).
2. Engine speed varies between 1350 RPM and 1800 RPM while compressor is
loaded to match the required volume flow.
Operation - Loaded
Assume engine has been started and is running in the unload state at 1350 RPM. If there is
air demand (pressure falls below the load point pressure), compressor will load at 1350 RPM
by opening the inlet valve. As air demand rises and falls, engine speed is controlled between
1200 RPM and 1800 RPM to match the required flow while maintaining rated pressure.
Operation - Unloaded
If there is no air demand at 1350 RPM (pressure rises above the unload point pressure), the
compressor will unload by closing the inlet valve. The unit then runs at 1350 RPM unloaded
with no air delivery. If air demand increases (pressure falls below the load point pressure), the
compressor reloads to meet the required air demand.
30 Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A

Stopping
• Close air service valve(s).

• Allow the unit to run at “IDLE” for 3 to 5 minutes to reduce the engine temperatures.
• Turn the keyswitch to the “OFF” position.
NOTICE
Failure to allow turbo cool down prior to stopping can cause
turbocharger damage.
! CAUTION
Machines with EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON - Use the Emergency Stop
Button only for emergency conditions. Do not use for normal machine
stopping. Button must be reset before starting can be accomplished.
NOTICE
Once the engine stops, the automatic blowdown valve will relieve
pressure from the separator tank.
! WARNING
Even after pressure is relieved from the piping system, any air supply line
from the compressor to a tool or machine could remain under pressure
and cause serious personal injury or death. After the compressor stops,
carefully open a valve at any tool or machine to exhaust the pressure in
any line prior to removal or servicing.
! CAUTION
Never allow the unit to sit stopped with pressure in the receiver-separator
system. As a precaution, open the service valve.
Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A 31

Pressure Regulation
Normally, regulation requires no adjusting; but if proper adjustment is lost, proceed as follows:
Before Starting Unit -

3. Loosen screw (J) on lever (C).
4. Loosen nut (E) to relax spring (G).
5. Loosen nut (H). Turn rod (L) in Air Cylinder (AC) until approximately 3/4 inch
(20 mm) between nut (H) and flats on rod (L).
6. With locking pliers, clamp onto butterfly valve shaft and rotate and hold it so
butterfly valve is fully shut. Place a wrench on lever screw (K) and rotate
butterfly valve lever (C) so air cylinder rod (L) fully bottoms out in air cylinder.
While holding the butterfly valve closed AND holding air cylinder shaft fully in,
tighten lever screw (J). Then release hold on butterfly valve shaft and lever.
7. Turn rod (L) One complete turn CW as viewed from rod end. This opens the
butterfly valve slightly. Tighten nut (H). Rotate butterfly shaft/lever (C), open
and closed, several times to assure that linkage is not binding.
8. With engine governor lever in full speed position, reconnect rod end bearing.
9. Move linkage to closed position, and verify that travel is positively stopped by
the rod reaching the bottom of the air cylinder. The butterfly valve should not
seat closed.
32 Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A

10. Take slack out of spring (G) by moving nuts (E) and (F). Tighten nuts.
11. Start unit and allow to warm up for 3 to 5 minutes.
12. The target pressure is 50 to 80 psi while operating at start pressure.
13. If the pressure exceeds 80 psi: Loosen jam nut (H), turn rod (L) 1/4 to 1/2 turn
CCW (as viewed from rod end) to slightly close butterfly, and secure jam nut.
Use the manual blowdown valve to bleed pressure down to 60 psi. After 2.0
minutes, if the pressure is between 50 and 80 psi, OK. Adjustment complete.
14. If the pressure drops below 50 psi: Loosen jam nut (H), turn rod (L) 1/4 to 1/2
turn CW (as viewed from rod end) to slightly open the butterfly, and secure jam
nut. After 2.0 minutes, if the pressure is between 50 and 80 psi, OK. Adjustment
complete.
15. If the pressure is not between 50 and 80 psi after 2.0 minutes, repeat steps 13
and/or 14 as needed.Start unit and allow to warm up for 3 to 5 minutes.
16. Push “Service Air” Button on control panel.
17. With service air valve closed, adjust pressure regulator (PR) to rated pressure
(*) plus 30 psi (70 kPa) as follows:
18. Loosen locknut (M) counterclockwise; Turn adjustment cap (N) clockwise to
increase pressure, counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
19. Set idle speed (*) by adjusting position of rod end bearing on governor cable at
engine. Tighten lock nut.
20. If pressure at unload is unsteady, loosen locknut (H) and rotate rod (L) out of
rod end bearing one quarter turn at a time until steady. Tighten locknut (H).
21. Open service air valve and observe full load engine speed (*). Adjust regulator
to give rated operating pressure (*). Tighten locknut (M).
22. Close and slowly open service air valve. If engine speed surges, increase
tension on spring (G) by moving nuts (E) and (F). If set speeds are not correct,
repeat steps14 and15 as required.
23. To regulate to any pressure between 150 psi (1050 kPa) and maximum rating
(*), make adjustments at the pressure regulator.

Trouble Shooting
Introduction
Trouble shooting for a portable air compressor is an organized study of a particular
problem or series of problems and a planned method of procedure for investigation and
correction. The trouble shooting chart that follows includes some of the problems that an
operator may encounter during the operation of a portable compressor.
The chart does not attempt to list all of the troubles that may occur, nor does it attempt to
give all of the answers for correction of the problems. The chart does give those problems
that are most apt to occur. To use the trouble shooting chart:
A. Find the “complaint” depicted as a bold heading.

B. Follow down that column to find the potential cause or causes. The causes are
listed in order (1, 2, 3 etc.) to suggest an order to follow in trouble shooting.
A. Think Before Acting
Study the problem thoroughly and ask yourself these questions:
1. What were the warning signals that preceded the trouble?

2. Has a similar trouble occurred before?
3. What previous maintenance work has been done?
4. If the compressor will still operate, is it safe to continue operating it to make
further checks?
B. Do The Simplest Things First
Most troubles are simple and easily corrected. For example, most complaints are “low
capacity” which may be caused by too low an engine speed or “compressor over- heats” which
may be caused by low oil level.
Always check the easiest and most obvious things first; following this simple rule will save time
and trouble.
NOTE: For trouble shooting electrical problems, refer to the Wiring

Diagram Schematic found in Parts List Section.

Routine Maintenance
This section refers to the various components which require periodic maintenance and
replacement.
The MAINTENANCE CHART indicates the various components' descriptions and the
intervals when maintenance has to take place. Oil capacities, etc., can be found in the
GENERAL DATA SECTION of this manual.
For any specification or specific requirement on service or preventative maintenance for
the engine, refer to the Engine Section.
Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectly handled. Before doing any work on the
unit, ensure that all pressure is vented from the system and that the machine cannot be
started accidentally.
If the automatic blowdown fails to operate, then pressure must be gradually relieved by
operating the manual blowdown valve. Suitable personal protective equipment should be
worn.
Ensure that maintenance personnel are adequately trained, competent and have read the
Maintenance Manuals.
44 Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A

Prior to attempting any maintenance work, ensure that:-
• all air pressure is fully discharged and isolated from the system. If the automatic
blowdown valve is used for this purpose, then allow enough time for it to complete
the operation.
• the discharge pipe / manifold area is depressurized by opening the discharge valve,
while keeping clear of any airflow from it.
! WARNING
Pressure will remain in the system between the minimum pressure
valve and the service valve after shutdown and operation of the auto
blowdown valve.
This pressure must be relieved by :
(a) Disconnecting any downstream equipment.
(b) Opening the discharge valve to atmosphere.
• the machine cannot be started. Post warning signs and/or fit anti-start devices.
• Disconnect battery cables.
Prior to opening or removing panels or covers to work inside a machine,

ensure that:-
• anyone entering the machine is aware of the reduced level of protection and the
additional hazards, including hot surfaces and intermittently moving parts.
• The machine cannot be started.
Prior to attempting any maintenance work on a running machine, ensure

that:-
• the work carried out is limited to only those tasks which require the machine to
run.
• the work carried out with safety protection devices disabled or removed is limited
to only those tasks which require the machine to be running with safety protection
devices disabled or removed.
• all hazards present are known (e.g. pressurised components, electrically live

MACHINE in the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual)
and check for leakage before the machine is put back into service.
Compressor Oil Cooler and Engine Radiator

When grease, oil and dirt accumulate on the exterior surfaces of the oil cooler and radiator,
the efficiency is impaired. It is recommended that each month the oil cooler and radiator
be cleaned by directing a jet of compressed air, (carrying if possible a non-flammable
cleaning solvent) over the exterior core of the cooler/radiator. This should remove any
accumulation of oil, grease and dirt from the exterior core of the cooler so that the entire
cooling area can radiate the heat of the lubricating and cooling oil/water into the air stream.
! WARNING
Hot engine coolant and steam can cause injury. When adding coolant
or antifreeze solution to the engine radiator, stop the engine at least
one minute prior to releasing the radiator filler cap. Using a cloth to
protect the hand, slowly release the filler cap, absorbing any released
fluid with the cloth. Do not remove the filler cap until all excess fluid is
released and the engine cooling system fully depressurised.
Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A 49

! WARNING
Follow the instructions provided by the antifreeze supplier when
adding or draining the antifreeze solution. It is advisable to wear
personal protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contact with
the antifreeze solution.
Air Filter Elements

The air filter element should be replaced regularly (refer to the MAINTENANCE CHART)
or when the restriction indicator shows red, whichever comes first. The aircleaner
precleaner dumps should be cleaned as indicated in the MAINTENANCE CHART (more
frequently in dusty operating conditions).
Removal
! CAUTION
Never remove and replace element(s) when the machine is running.
Clean the exterior of the filter housing and remove the filter element by releasing the nut.
Reassembly
Assemble the new element into the filter housing ensuring that the seal seats properly.
Secure element by tightening nut.
Before restarting the machine, check that all clamps are tight.
Ventilation
Always check that the air inlets and outlets are clear of debris etc.
Cooling Fan Drive

Periodically check that the fan mounting bolts in the fan hub have not loosened. If, for any
reason, it becomes necessary to remove the fan or re-tighten the fan mounting bolts, apply
a good grade of commercially available thread locking compound to the bolt threads and
tighten to the torque value shown in the TORQUE SETTING TABLE later in this section.
The fan belt(s) should be checked regularly for wear and correct tensioning.
50 Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A

Fuel System
The fuel tank should be filled daily or every eight hours. To minimise condensation in the
fuel tank(s), it is advisable to top up after the machine is shut down or at the end of each
working day. Drain any sediment or condensate that may have accumulated in the tank(s).
Refer to MAINTENANCE CHART.
Fuel Filter Water Separator

The fuel filter water separator contains a filter element which should be replaced at regular
intervals (see the SERVICE/MAINTENANCE CHART).
Hoses
All components of the engine cooling air intake system should be checked periodically to
keep the engine at peak efficiency.
At the recommended intervals, (see the MAINTENANCE CHART), inspect all of the intake
lines to the air filter, and all flexible hoses used for air lines, oil lines and fuel lines.
Periodically inspect all pipework for cracks, leaks, etc. and replace immediately if
damaged.
Electrical System
! WARNING
Disconnect the battery cables before performing any maintenance or
service.
Check the security of electrical terminals on the switches and relays i.e. nuts or screws
loose, which may cause local hot spot oxidation.
Inspect the components and wiring for signs of overheating i.e. discolouration, charring of
cables, deformation of parts, acrid smells and blistered paint.
Battery
Keep the battery terminals and cable clamps clean and lightly coated with petroleum jelly
to prevent corrosion.
The battery restraint should be kept tight enough to prevent the battery from moving.
Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A 51

Pressure System
Regularly, it is necessary to inspect the external surfaces of the system (from the airend
through to the discharge valve(s)) including hoses, tubes, tube fittings and the separator
tank, for visible signs of impact damage, excessive corrosion, abrasion, tightness and
chafing. Any suspect parts should be replaced before the machine is put back into service.
Tire Pressure
See the GENERAL DATA SECTION of this manual.
Running Gear/wheels
Check the wheel nut torque 20 miles (30 kilometres) after refitting the wheels. Refer to the
TORQUE SETTING TABLE later in this section.
Lifting jacks should only be used under the axle
The bolts securing the running gear to the chassis should be checked periodically for
tightness (refer to the MAINTENANCE CHART for frequency) and re-tighten where
necessary. Refer to the TORQUE SETTING TABLE later in this section.
Lubrication
! CAUTION
Always check the oil levels before a new machine is put into service.
If, for any reason, the unit has been drained, it must be re-filled with new oil before it is put
into operation.
Engine Lubricating Oil

The engine oil and oil filter element should be changed at the engine manufacturer's
recommended intervals. Refer to the Engine operator manual/section.
Refer to the Engine operators' manual/section for engine oil specifications.
52 Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A

Compressor Lubricating Oil

Refer to the MAINTENANCE CHART in this section for service intervals.
NOTE: If the machine has been operating under adverse conditions, or

has suffered long shutdown periods, then more frequent service
intervals will be required.
! WARNING
DO NOT, under any circumstances, remove any drain plugs or the oil
filler-plug from the compressor lubricating and cooling system
without first making sure that the machine is stopped and the system
has been completely relieved of all air pressure (refer to STOPPING
THE MACHINE in the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this
manual).
Completely drain the receiver/separator system including the piping and oil cooler by
removing the drain plug(s) and collecting the used oil in a suitable container.
Replace the drain plug(s) ensuring that each one is secure.
NOTE: If the oil is drained immediately after the machine has been
running, then most of the sediment will be in suspension and will
therefore drain more readily.
! CAUTION
Some oil mixtures are incompatible and result in the formation of
varnishes, shellacs or lacquers which may be insoluble. Refer to
Portable Compressor Fluid Chart.
Running Gear Wheel Bearings

Wheel bearings should be packed with grease every 12 months. The type of grease used
should conform to specification MIL-G-10924.

Operating & Maintenance Manual Lubrication
Lubrication
General Information
Lubrication is an essential part of preventive maintenance, affecting to a great extent the
useful life of the unit. Different lubricants are needed and some components in the unit require
more frequent lubrication than others. Therefore, it is important that the instructions regarding
types of lubricants and the frequency of their application be explicitly followed. Periodic
lubrication of the moving parts reduces to a minimum the possibility of mechanical failures.
The Preventive Maintenance Schedule shows those items requiring regular service and the
interval in which they should be performed. A regular service program should be developed to
include all items and fluids. These intervals are based on average operating conditions. In the
event of extremely severe (hot, cold, dusty or wet) operating conditions, more frequent
lubrication than specified may be necessary. Details concerning lubrication of the running gear
are in Maintenance Section.
All filters and filter elements for air and compressor lubricant must be obtained through
Ingersoll-Rand to assure the proper size and filtration for the compressor.
Compressor Oil Change

These units are normally furnished with an initial supply of oil sufficient to allow operation of
the unit for approximately 6 months or 1000 hours, whichever comes first. If a unit has been
completely drained of all oil, it must be refilled with new oil before it is placed in operation.
Refer to specifications in Lubrication Table.
NOTICE
Some oil types are incompatible when mixed and result in the formation
of varnishes, shellacs, or lacquers which may be insoluble. Such
deposits can cause serious troubles including clogging of the filters.
Where possible, do NOT mix oils of different types and avoid mixing
different brands. A type or brand change is best made at the time of a
complete oil drain and refill.
If the unit has been operated for the time/hours mentioned above, it should be completely
drained of oil. If the unit has been operated under adverse conditions, or after long periods in
storage, an earlier change period may be necessary as oil deteriorates with time as well as by
operating conditions.
56 Book: 23012958 (2-16-07) Rev. A

Lubrication Operating & Maintenance Manual
! WARNING
High pressure air can cause severe injury or death from hot oil and flying
parts. Always relieve pressure before removing caps, plugs, covers or
other parts from pressurized air system. Ensure the following conditions
are met:
— Discharge air pressure gauge reads zero (0).

— No air discharging from an “open” manual blowdown valve.
An oil change is good insurance against the accumulation of dirt, sludge, or oxidized oil
products.
Completely drain the reservoir, piping, and cooler. If the oil is drained immediately after the
unit has been run for some time, most of the sediment will be in suspension and, therefore,
will drain more readily. However, the fluid will be hot and care must be taken to avoid contact
with the skin or eyes.
After the unit has been completely drained of all old fluid, close the drain valve, install new oil
filter elements. Add oil in the specified quantity at the filler plug. Tighten the filler plug and run
the machine to circulate the oil. Check the oil level. DO NOT OVERFILL.
NOTICE
Ingersoll-Rand provides compressor oil specifically formulated for
Portable Compressors and requires the use of these fluids in order to
obtain extended limited airend warranty.
