If the compressor comes with an IMT service truck without a crane, the compressor will be wired through the truck and will be controlled with a switch. If the compressor is sold individually, it is up to the customer or his agent to connect the wiring harness appropriately.
Satisfactory installation depends upon the ability of the installer. Refer to the installation drawing below for the foundation plan for the IMT CAS3560 air compressor installation. When installing, choose a location that will permit top access to service the unit. 28-inches of clearance are required.

E C T I O N Operation Compressor Terminology AIR/OIL Performs second stage separation of oil from compressed air feeding tools. COALESCER Sometimes referred to as the separator element. Refers to the volume of compressed air being produced expressed as cubic feet of air per minute.
Description of Components COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY The IMT compressor assembly is a positive displacement, oil flooded, rotary screw type unit employing one stage of compression to achieve the desired pressure. Components include a housing (stator), two screws (rotors), bearings, and bearing supports. Power from the hydraulic motor is transferred to the male rotor through a belt and pulley configuration.
Page 37
Operation MINIMUM PRESSURE VALVE The minimum pressure valve is located at the outlet of the coalescer head and serves to maintain a minimum discharge pressure of 65 PSIG in operation, which is required to assure adequate compressor lubrication pressure. OIL FILTER The compressor oil filter is the full-flow replaceable element type.
Page 38
IMT CAS3560 Air Compressor Manual Part No. 99903566 NOTE The operating pressure range for most air tools is between 90 and 125 psi. Operating above the tools' recommended pressure will decrease the life of the tool. Higher operating pressure can also over torque nut and bolts fatiguing the fastener and mating parts. Strictly adhere to tool operating pressures and torque standards set forth by the tool manufacturer and the specifications of the equipment that work is being performed on.
Before start-up a) Check the compressor oil level using the sightglass on the unit. If oil is required, use only IMT's synthetic compressor oil. Always check compressor oil level with the truck cold and the compressor on level ground. b) Check the air intake filter indicator (visible at the front of the compressor) for cleanliness and obstructions.
Engage the compressor by turning on the power. The power switch location varies depending on the installation. If the compressor is mounted on an IMT service truck with a crane, the power switch is located on the crane remote. Otherwise, the power switch may be located on the truck or as a custom wiring application.
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS If the IMT rotary screw compressor is expected to operate at temperatures below 0º F, the oil filter, coalescer, air filter, and oil should be changed before the compressor is run in sub-zero temperatures (ex: late fall, but this may vary by location and environment). Performing this maintenance will improve the performance of the system during sub-zero temperature operation.
Page 42
IMT CAS3560 Air Compressor Manual Part No. 99903566 At temperatures below 0º F, failure to follow the guidelines may result overheating of the compressor due to the oil’s inability to circulate through the compressor system. The lack of circulation leads to rapid warming of the compressor air end, and eventually the compressor air end will exceed the maximum operating temperature.
E C T I O N Maintenance & Repair This section contains instructions for performing the inspection, lubrication, and maintenance procedures required to maintain the compressor in proper operating condition. The importance of performing the maintenance described herein cannot be over emphasized. The periodic maintenance procedures to be performed on the equipment covered by this manual are listed below.
Air cleaner - change Coalescer element - change Service intervals are listed as hours/months, whichever occurs first. Use only IMT synthetic compressor oil. The use of any other oil causes excessive carbon buildup and will void the warranty on the compressor. NOTES: 1) Check belt tension and condition after first 50 hours.
Maintenance & Repair CAS3560 Maintenance Procedures Maintenance intervals in the schedule outlined in this manual are based on one hour of compressor operation equal to about 40 road miles on an engine. Thus, eight hours operation is equal to 320 road miles, 250 hours is equal to 10,000 road miles, etc.
Page 46
IMT CAS3560 Air Compressor Manual Part No. 99903566 CHANGING COMPRESSOR OIL Run compressor until oil temperature is 100° - 122° F (40° - 50° C). Then, completely drain air tank and relieve pressure by opening pressure relief valve. Remove filler cap. Open drain valve (3) and drain oil, making sure to follow local and state regulations on waste oil collection and disposal.
Page 47
Maintenance & Repair AIR/OIL COALESCER The air/oil coalescer employs an element permanently housed within a canister on top of the air end assembly. This is a single piece unit that requires replacement when it fails to remove the oil from the discharge air, or pressure drop across it exceeds 15 PSI. Dirty oil clogs the element and increases the pressure drop across it.
Page 48
When connecting drain line, hold canister nut securely when tightening the hose fitting. WARNING Do not substitute element. Use only a genuine IMT replacement element. This element is rated at 200 psi working pressure. Use of any other element may be hazardous and could impair the performance and reliability of the compressor, possibly voiding the warranty and/or resulting in damage to property and serious bodily harm.

Select and use lubricant wisely. Relay Module The IMT CAS3560 compressor includes a relay module which is very useful in troubleshooting. Each relay on the module has an LED which indicates the status of the relay. A decal next to the relay indicates which lights control which functions.
Connect a hose to each of the inlet and outlet of the oil cooler. d) Pour IMT compressor oil into lower port (note” hose will need to be higher than cooler). Upper port hose should be drained into a bucket / pan.
