Indicates a potentially hazardous WARNING situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. Indicates a potentially hazardous CAUTION situation which, if not avoided, may...
• Do not point air nozzles or sprayers toward anyone. GENERAL SAFETY RULES RISK OF BURSTING. Can cause serious injury. • Use only suitable air handling parts acceptable for pressure DANGER of not less than the maximum allowable working pressure of the machine.
HUMID AREAS NOTICE In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in the pump and It may be helpful to use a piece of tape on the drill bit to mark produce sludge in the lubricant, causing running parts to wear out the proper depth.

TRUCK BEDS (GASOLINE ENGINE POWERED Typical Remote Air Inlet Piping. COMPRESSORS ONLY) NOTICE Mounting hardware kit 46821641 is available for mounting gasoline engine compressors to truck beds . Gasoline engine compressors mounted on truck beds must be fastened securely without applying excessive stress on the receiver tank.
GROUNDING. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding NOTICE reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. Ground terminals are identified with a ground symbol All compressed air systems generate condensate which and/or the letters “G”, “GR”...

Pressure Switch Wiring (For Compressors Not Requiring a Starter) 4. Refer to the torque values listed on side of the contactor when tightening the wire terminal screws. 5. The overload current setting formula is as follows: Motor Nameplate Amps X Motor Service Factor = Overload Setting Example: 10.0 (Motor Amps) x 1.15 (Service Factor) = 11.50 Overload Setting...
COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION CAUTION Do not operate without lubricant or with inadequate lubricant. Ingersoll Rand is not responsible for compressor failure caused by inadequate lubrication. RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT Ingersoll Rand recommends All Season Select® synthetic lubricant from startup. ALTERNATE LUBRICANTS. You may use XL-300 or a comparable petroleum-based lubricant that is premium quality, does not contain detergents, contains only anti- rust, anti-oxidation, and anti-foam agents as additives, has a flashpoint of 440°F (227°C) or higher, and has an auto-ignition point of 650°F...
CRANKCASE CAPACITY 2340 28 oz. (827 ml.) Unusual noise or vibration indicates a problem. Do not continue to operate until you identify and correct the source of the 2475 41 oz. (1212 ml.) problem. 2545 73 oz. (2158 ml.) NOTICE 7100 80 oz.

PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT STARTING UNLOADING SYSTEM The starting unloading feature exists on certain models. The purpose WARNING of the system is to relieve cylinder pressure when the unit stops, High voltage is present at the pressure switch contacts when permitting it to start against a light load. A light load increases the life the power supply is connected.

OIL CONSUMPTION CHECK Position of weight and thrust pin when unit is stopped. A rule of thumb in determining a “passing grade” for oil consumption is to consider consumption at or above 50 horsepower-hours per ounce to be acceptable. The formula is as follows: Horsepower X Hours of Operation Horsepower Hours per Ounce...

To clean the filter screen, perform the following steps: 1. Close the strainer ball valve completely to isolate it from the air receiver tank. 2. Press the TEST button on the timer to vent the pressure remaining in the valve. Repeat until all pressure is removed. CAUTION High pressure air can cause injury from flying debris.
