18 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
COMMISSIONING Adequate clearance needs to be allowed around and above the

machine to permit safe access for specified maintenance tasks.
Upon receipt of the unit, and prior to putting it into service, it is
important to adhere strictly to the instructions given below in PRIOR TO
STARTING. Ensure that the machine is positioned securely and on a stable
foundation. Any risk of movement should be removed by suitable
means, especially to avoid strain on any rigid discharge piping.
Ensure that the operator reads and understands the decals and
consults the manuals before maintenance or operation.
Attach the battery cables to the battery(s) ensuring that they are
tightened securely. Attach the negative cable bofore attaching the
Ensure that the position of the emergency stop device is known and positive cable
recognised by its markings. Ensure that it is functioning correctly and
that the method of operation is known.
WARNING: All air pressure equipment installed in or connected
Before towing the unit, ensure that the tyre pressures are correct to the machine must have safe working pressure ratings of at least

CAUTION: Do not overfill either the engine or the compressor with oil. 8. CAUTION: Do not operate the machine with the canopy/doors in
the open position as this may cause overheating and operators to be
exposed to high noise levels.
2. Check the engine lubrication oil in accordance with the operating

instructions in the Engine Operator’s Manual.
9. Check the emergency stop. Rotate knob as indicated to release.
3. Check the compressor oil level in the sight glass located on the
separator tank. 10.Close the manual relief valve inside the service door near the
emergency stop.
4. Check the diesel fuel level. A good rule is to top up at the end of each
working day. This prevents condensation from occurring in the tank. When starting or operating the machine in temperatures below or
approaching 0C, ensure that the operation of the regulation system,
the unloader valve, the safety valve, and the engine are not impaired
by ice or snow, and that all inlet and outlet pipes and ducts are clear of

Periodically inspect all pipework for cracks, leaks, etc. and replace

Before restarting the machine, check that all clamps are tight.
NOTE: In the event that a new filter element is not readily available, the
element can be re−used after cleaning. In this case the following
procedure must be carried out: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Clean the element by directing a jet of clean, dry compressed air,

no more than 5 bar, at an angle of 45 degrees to the outside of the
element. Carefully blow any dust from each fold of the element. WARNING: Always disconnect the battery cables before
performing any maintenance or service.
Compressed air cleaning is only recommended when a new

element is not available.
CAUTION: Safety elements must not be cleaned and re−used. Inspect the safety shutdown system switches and the instrument
panel relay contacts for evidence of arcing and pitting. Clean where
necessary.
VENTILATION
Check the mechanical action of the components.
Always check that the air inlets and outlets are clear of debris etc.
Check the security of electrical terminals on the switches and relays

CAUTION: NEVER clean by blowing air inwards. i.e. nuts or screws loose, which may cause local hot spot oxidation.

Do not use diesel fuel which has been contaminated with engine oil.
Besides causing engine damage, such fuel can also affect emission The use of a smoke suppressant additive is not allowed because of the

Your engine is designed to use either Number 1−D or Number 2−D
diesel fuel. However, for better fuel economy, use Number 2−D diesel
fuel whenever possible. At temperatures less than −7C, (20F),
Number 2−D fuel may pose operating problems (see “Cold Weather
Operation” which follows). At colder temperatures, use Number 1−D
fuel (if available) or use a “winterized” Number 2−D (a blend of Number
1−D and Number 2−D). This blended fuel is usually called Number 2−D
also, but can be used in colder temperatures than Number 2−D fuel
which has not been “winterized.”
Check with the fuel supplier to be sure you get the properly blended
fuel.
NOTICE: Do not use home heating oil or gasoline in your diesel

engine; either may cause engine damage.
Handling of the Fuel.

Any fuel containing dust particles or water might cause engine
failure .
Therefore, the following must be observed.
Take care to protect the fuel from ingress of dust particles or water

53 OPERATION
ENGINE OPERATION Check the fan belt for tension and abnormalities.
Engine Exhaust Gas Caution (Carbon Monoxide) A loose belt will cause belt slippage which may result in a damaged belt,
abnormal noise, poor battery charging and engine overheating.
CAUTION
Do not breathe exhaust gas because it contains carbon monoxide,
which by itself has no color or odor. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous
gas. It can cause unconsciousness and can be lethal.
Do not run the engine in confined areas (such as garages or next to a
building). Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear of snow and other
material to help reduce the buildup of exhaust gases under the
equipment. This is particularly important when parked in blizzard
conditions.
CHECK BEFORE OPERATION

Engine Oil Additives
Engine oils contain a variety of additives. Your engine should not need
any extra additives if you use the recommended oil quality and change
intervals.
Used Oil Disposal − Do not dispose of used engine oil (or any other
oil) in a careless manner such as pouring it on the ground, into sewers,
or into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a
used oil collection facility which may be found in your community. If you
have a problem disposing of your used oil, it is suggested that you
contact your local Ingersoll−Rand branch or dealer. This also applies
to diesel fuel which is contaminated with water.

operating conditions.
Cooling System Circuit Cleaning

When the cooling system circuit is contaminated with water scales or
sludge particles, cooling efficiency will be lowered. Periodically clean
the circuit interior with a suitable cleaner.

FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel injection pump and injector nozzles are precisely
manufactured, and therefore, using fuel which contains water or dust
particles will result in either injection pump plunger seizure or injector

particles will lead to reduced engine output.
Perform inspection and maintenance periodically as follows:
