Operation
Each compressor is bench tested under load at the factory to ensure proper break-in and operation.
While it is not necessary to follow any break-in procedure, the following checks should be made
before putting the unit into service and periodically during use.

Before Start-Up

Inspect unit for any visible signs of damage.

Check the oil level in the compressor with the dipstick on the unit. If oil is needed, use American
Eagle synthetic compressor oil (P/N C0087) or an equivalent synthetic oil. Note: There may be oil
left in the crankcase from the factory bench test. Overfilling may cause the compressor to
back blow oil. Always check the oil level and fill to the designated marking on the dipstick
before putting the unit into service.

Check hoses (air and hydraulic) for weak or worn condition and make sure that all connections are
secure.

Check the air intake filters on each head to make certain that they are clean and unobstructed.
Dirty air filters are a possible cause of reduced air output.

Maintenance
The following table is a list of routine maintenance items, including service intervals. Service
intervals are listed as hours, days, or weeks, whichever occurs first. American Eagle recommends
that these service intervals be followed. Before performing any maintenance function “Lock Out” or
“Tag Out” all sources of power. Be sure all air pressure in unit is relieved. Failure to do so may
result in injury or equipment damage.

CHANGE CRANKCASE OIL (see footnote below)

Under normal operating conditions, oil changes are required every 3 months. When operating in a
dirty environment, change the oil more frequently as your particular operating condition dictates.
USE AE SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR OIL P/N C0087.
COMPRESSOR CRANKCASE CAPACITY IS 5 QUARTS.
General preventative maintenance includes maintaining proper fluid level in both systems and the
general cleanliness of the equipment. Proper fluids according to the specifications are required.

cooled, and must have a clean supply of cooling
air to the fan with minimum restrictions.
Adequate space must be provided for proper
circulation of air.

Electrical Connections:
From the solenoid valve (located on the
hydraulic manifold) there are two (2) wires, red
and black, running to the compressor pressure
switch. Connect the black wire to the vehicle
frame or other suitable ground. The red wire
mounts to the pressure switch as shown. Install

Hydraulic System:
Installed on the compressor is a valve block assembly that controls the flow to the hydraulic
motor. To this block, a 3/4” high-pressure hose and a 3/4” return line must be attached. (See
drawing above) Note: The case drain line from the hydraulic motor is also routed to the oil
reservoir. American Eagle recommends a sufficient sized reservoir be provided which includes
the proper suction and return filters. The optional cooler on some versions of the compressor
is designed and sized to cool the air compressor efficiently. An auxillary oil cooler is required
when additional hydraulically operated equipment are added to the hydraulic system.
Pressure on the return line exceeding 200 PSI can and will cause damage to the filter, cooler,
and components of the compressor hydraulic system.

Troubleshooting
If symptoms of poor performance develop, the following chart can be used as a guide to investigate
and correct the problem. When diagnosing faults in operations of the air compressor, always check
that the hydraulic power source is supplying the correct hydraulic flow and pressure that is listed in
the compressor specification section of this manual.
Problem Possible Cause Solution

Compressor will not start: PTO not engaged. Engage PTO.

Emergency brake off. Fully engage parking brake.

Blown fuse. Replace fuse.

Loose or broken power/ground wire. Repair connection.

Compressor manifold solenoid will not Repair wiring to coil.

engage. Replace valve.

Compressor runs slow or Loose air lines or hoses. Tighten air lines and hose connections.
slows down during
operation: Hydraulic flow too low. Check and reset flow.

Hydraulic motor worn. Replace with new motor.

Hydraulic relief set too low. Readjust relief valve.

Faulty compressor valves. Clean or replace.

Pilot valve leaking air. Replace pilot valve.

Centrifugal unloader valve leaking. Remove the governor release valve cap, giving
access to the unloader pressure release valve
spring and ball - Clean thoroughly and
reassembly.

Hydraulic oil temp high. Hydraulic fluid low.

Hydraulic reservoir size incorrect.

Compressor will lock up Hydraulic motor drive coupler loose. Reposition and tighten coupler.
after operating for a short
period: Faulty hydraulic relief valve. Remove relief valve, inspect o-rings and backup
seals or replace relief valve.

Faulty check valve. Clean or replace check valve.

Dirty after cooler or intercooler tubing. Remove and clean.

Compressor runs hot:
Faulty compressor values. Clean or replace valves.

Dirty intake muffler. Clean or replace.

Low crankcase oil level. Add compressor oil as needed.

Problem Possible Cause Solution

Compressor will not shut Air line or air hose leaks. Tighten air lines or hose connections.
down:
Misadjustment of pilot valve. Adjust valve per manual specifications.

Pilot valve leaking air Clean or replace pilot valve.

Centrifugal unloader valve is leaking. See “Compressor runs slowly” section.

Moisture or rust contamination. Remove filter bowl. Fill with WD40 lubricant.
Open air tank valve. Run compressor for 10
minutes. Partially close air tank valve and cycle
compressor. Repeat as needed.

Compressor continues to Faulty low pressure intake valve. Clean or replace low pressure intake valves.

Compressor will not speed Air reservoir full. Drain air from reservoir.
up when compressor is
activated: Faulty pressure switch. Test for 12 volt power on both the “C” and “NC”
side of the terminals. If no power on “NC” side
of pressure switch, replace switch.

Faulty pressure switch. Replace pressure switch.

Faulty speed control. Check speed control wiring for loose or broken
connections. Check relay (For ECM operated
speed settings.)

Compressor cycles or runs Faulty pressure switch. Replace pressure switch.

often:
Excessive water in air reservoir. Drain air reservoir.

Pip lines leaking air. Tighten or replace lines.

Misadjustment of pilot valve. Adjust valve per manual specifications.

Air leaking from pilot valve. Clean, adjust, or replace.

Check valve leaking. Clean or replace.

Chassis engine RPM Faulty pressure switch. Replace pressure switch.
