Ensure that maintenance personnel are adequately trained,competent and have read the Maintenance Manuals.

Make sure that all protective covers are in place and that thecanopy/doors are closed during operation.

The specification of this machine is such that the machine is notsuitable for use in flammable gas risk areas. If such an application isrequired then all local regulations, codes of practice and site rules mustbe observed. To ensure that the machine can operate in a safe andreliable manner, additional equipment such as gas detection, exhaustspark arrestors, and intake (shut–off) valves may be required,dependant on local regulations or the degree of risk involved.

A weekly visual check must be made on all fasteners/fixing screwssecuring mechanical parts. In particular, safety–related parts such ascoupling hitch, drawbar components, road–wheels, and lifting bailshould be checked for total security.

All components which are loose, damaged or unserviceable, mustbe rectified without delay.

Air discharged from this machine may contain carbon monoxide orother contaminants which will cause serious injury or death. Do notbreathe this air.

This machine produces loud noise with the doors open or servicevalve vented. Extended exposure to loud noise can cause hearing loss.Always wear hearing protection when doors are open or service valveis vented.

Never inspect or service unit without first disconnecting batterycable(s) to prevent accidental starting.

Do not use petroleum products (solvents or fuels) under highpressure as this can penetrate the skin and result in serious illness.wear eye protection while cleaning unit with compressed air to preventdebris from injuring eye(s).

Rotating fan blade can cause serious injury. Do not operate withoutguard in place.

Use care to avoid contacting hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifoldand piping, air receiver and air discharge piping, etc.).

Ether is an extremely volatile, highly inflammable gas. When it isspecified as a starting aid, use sparingly. DO NOT USE ETHER IF THEMACHINE HAS GLOW PLUGS OR INLET HEATER STARTING AIDSOR ENGINE DAMAGE WILL RESULT.

Never operate unit with guards, covers or screens removed. Keephands, hair, clothing, tools, blow gun tips, etc. well away from movingparts.

Compressed air

Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectly handled. Beforedoing any work on the unit, ensure that all pressure is vented from thesystem and that the machine cannot be started accidentally.

Ensure that the machine is operating at the rated pressure and thatthe rated pressure is known to all relevant personnel.

All air pressure equipment installed in or connected to the machinemust have safe working pressure ratings of at least the machine ratedpressure.

If more than one compressor is connected to one commondownstream plant, effective check valves and isolation valves must befitted and controlled by work procedures, so that one machine cannotaccidently be pressurised / over pressurised by another.

Compressed air must not be used for a direct feed to any form ofbreathing apparatus or mask.

High Pressure Air can cause serious injury or death. Relievepressure before removing filler plugs/caps, fittings or covers.

Air pressure can remain trapped in air supply line which can resultin serious injury or death. Always carefully vent air supply line at toolor vent valve before performing any service.

The discharged air contains a very small percentage of compressorlubricating oil and care should be taken to ensure that downstreamequipment is compatible.

If the discharged air is to be ultimately released into a confinedspace, adequate ventilation must be provided.

When using compressed air always use appropriate personalprotective equipment.

All pressure containing parts, especially flexible hoses and theircouplings, must be regularly inspected, be free from defects and bereplaced according to the Manual instructions.

Avoid bodily contact with compressed air.

The safety valve located in the separator tank must be checkedperiodically for correct operation.

Whenever the machine is stopped, air will flow back into thecompressor system from devices or systems downstream of themachine unless the service valve is closed. Install a check valve at themachine service valve to prevent reverse flow in the event of anunexpected shutdown when the service valve is open.

When parking always use the handbrake and, if necessary, suitablewheel chocks.

Make sure wheels, tyres and tow bar connectors are in safeoperating condition and tow bar is properly connected before towing.

Safety chains / connections and their adjustment

The legal requirements for the joint operation of the breakawaycable and safety chains are as yet unidentified by 71/320/EEC or UKregulations. Consequently we offer the following advice / instructions.

Where brakes only are fitted:

a) Ensure that the breakaway cable is securely coupled to thehandbrake lever and also to a substantial point on the towing vehicle.

b) Ensure that the effective cable length is as short as possible, whilststill allowing enough slackness for the trailer to articulate without thehandbrake being applied.

Where brakes and safety chains are fitted:

a) Loop the chains onto the towing vehicle using the towing vehiclehitch as an anchorage point, or any other point of similar strength.

b) Ensure that the effective chain length is as short as possible whilststill allowing normal articulation of the trailer and effective operation ofthe breakaway cable.

Where safety chains only are fitted:

a) Loop the chains onto the towing vehicle using the towing vehiclehitch as an anchorage point, or any other point of similar strength.

b) When adjusting the safety chains there should be sufficient freelength in the chains to allow normal articulation, whilst also being shortenough to prevent the towbar from touching the ground in the event ofan accidental separation of the towing vehicle from the trailer.

COMMISSIONING

Upon receipt of the unit, and prior to putting it into service, it isimportant to adhere strictly to the instructions given below in PRIOR TOSTARTING.

Ensure that the operator reads and understands the decals andconsults the manuals before maintenance or operation.

Ensure that the position of the emergency stop device is known andrecognised by its markings. Ensure that it is functioning correctly andthat the method of operation is known.

Ensure that all transport and packing materials are discarded.

Ensure that the correct fork lift truck slots or marked lifting / tie downpoints are used whenever the machine is lifted or transported.

When selecting the working position of the machine ensure thatthere is sufficient clearance for ventilation and exhaust requirements.

Adequate clearance needs to be allowed around and above themachine to permit safe access for specified maintenance tasks.

Ensure that the machine is positioned securely and on a stablefoundation. Any risk of movement should be removed by suitablemeans, especially to avoid strain on any rigid discharge piping.

COMPRESSOR MOUNTING

Portable compressors, which are modified to remove the running gearand mount the machine direct to trailers, truck beds or frame, etc. mayexperience failure of the enclosure, frame, and/or other components.It is necessary to isolate the compressor package from the carrier basewith a flexible mounting system. Such a system must also preventdetachment of the package from the carrier base in the event theisolators fail. Contact Ingersoll–Rand representative for flexiblemounting kits.

Warranty does not cover failures attributable to mounting of thecompressor package to the carrier base unless it is anIngersoll–Rand provided system.

Attach the battery cables to the battery(s) ensuring that they aretightened securely. Attach the positive cable before attaching thenegative cable.

WARNING: All air pressure equipment installed in or connectedto the machine must have safe working pressure ratings of at leastthe machine rated pressure, and materials compatible with thecompressor lubricant (refer to the GENERAL INFORMATIONsection).

WARNING: If more than one compressor is connected to onecommon downstream plant, effective check valves and isolationvalves must be fitted and controlled by work procedures, so thatone machine cannot accidently be pressurised / over pressurisedby another.

WARNING: When flexible discharge hoses are used, it isrecommended that safety retaining wires are fitted.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 17

9/235

PRIOR TO STARTING

1. Place the unit in a position that is as level as possible. The designof the unit permits a 15 degree lengthways and sideways limit on outof level operation. It is the engine, not the compressor, that is the limitingfactor.

When the unit has to be operated out of level, it is important to keepthe engine oil level near the high level mark (with the unit level).

2. Check the engine lubrication oil in accordance with the operatinginstructions in the Engine Operator’s Manual or section.

3. Check the compressor oil level in the sight glass located on theseparator tank.

4. Check the diesel fuel level. A good rule is to top up at the end of eachworking day. This prevents condensation from occurring in the tank.Refer to the engine operator’s manual/section for diesel fuelspecification.

CAUTION: When refuelling:–. switch off the engine.. do not smoke.. extinguish all naked lights.. do not allow the fuel to come into contact with hot surfaces.. wear personal protective equipment.

5. Drain the fuel filter water separator of water, ensuring that anyreleased fuel is safely contained.

6. Open the service valve(s) to ensure that all pressure is relievedfrom the system. Close the service valve(s).

7. CAUTION: Do not operate the machine with the canopy/doors inthe open position as this may cause overheating and operators to beexposed to high noise levels.

8. Check the radiator coolant level (with the unit level).

Check the air restriction indicator(s). Refer to the MAINTENANCEsection of this manual.

When starting or operating the machine in temperatures below orapproaching 0�C, ensure that the operation of the regulation system,the unloader valve, the safety valve, and the engine are not impairedby ice or snow, and that all inlet and outlet pipes and ducts are clear ofice and snow.

The following properties are required of the diesel fuel.

Must be free from minute dust particles.

Must have adequate viscosity.

Must have high cetane value.

Must have high fluidity at low temperature.

Must have low sulphur content.

Must have little residual carbon.

It is strongly advisable to use ASTM D975 No. 2D (the generalautomotive diesel engine purpose fuel oil) or equivalent which fullymeets the above requirements.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

Notice: the fuel injection pump, injector or other parts of the fuel systemand engine can be damaged if you use any fuel or fuel additive otherthan those specifically recommended by Ingersoll–Rand.

NOTE: If any fuel other than the one specified is used, engine operationwill be impaired. Engine failure or malfunction resulting from use of suchimproper fuel will not be warranted by Ingersoll–Rand.

To help avoid fuel system or engine damage, please read the following:

Do not use diesel fuel which has been contaminated with engine oil.Besides causing engine damage, such fuel can also affect emissioncontrol. Before using any diesel fuel, check with the fuel supplier to seeif the fuel has been mixed with engine oil.

Your engine is designed to use either Number 1–D or Number 2–Ddiesel fuel. However, for better fuel economy, use Number 2–D dieselfuel whenever possible. At temperatures less than –7�C, (20�F),Number 2–D fuel may pose operating problems (see “Cold WeatherOperation” which follows). At colder temperatures, use Number 1–Dfuel (if available) or use a “winterized” Number 2–D (a blend of Number1–D and Number 2–D). This blended fuel is usually called Number 2–Dalso, but can be used in colder temperatures than Number 2–D fuelwhich has not been “winterized.”

Check with the fuel supplier to be sure you get the properly blendedfuel.

NOTICE: Do not use home heating oil or gasoline in your dieselengine; either may cause engine damage.

Handling of the Fuel.

Any fuel containing dust particles or water might cause enginefailure .

Therefore, the following must be observed.

Take care to protect the fuel from ingress of dust particles or waterwhen filling the fuel tank.

If refuelling is done from an oil drum directly, ensure that it has beenkept stationary to allow any dust, sediment or water to settle at thebottom. Do not draw fuel direct from the bottom of the drum to preventpickup of any settled foreign material.

Always fully fill the fuel tank. Drain the sedimented particles in thefuel tank frequently.

Water in Fuel

During refueling, it is possible for water (and other contaminants) to bepumped into your fuel tank along with the diesel fuel. This can happenif a fuel provider does not regularly inspect and clean its fuel tanks, orreceives contaminated fuel from its supplier(s). To protect your enginefrom contaminated fuel, there is a fuel filter system on the engine whichallows you to drain excess water.

CAUTION: The water/diesel fuel mixture is flammable, and could behot. To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, do not touch thefuel coming from the drain valve, and do not expose the fuel to openflames or sparks.

Be sure you do not overfill the fuel tank. Heat (such as from the engine)can cause the fuel to expand. If the tank is too full, fuel could be forcedout. This could lead to a fire and the risk of personal injury and/orequipment damage.

BiocidesIn warm or humid weather, fungus and/or bacteria may form in dieselfuel if there is water in the fuel.

NOTICE: Fungus or bacteria can cause fuel system damage byplugging the fuel lines, fuel filters or injector. They can also cause fuelsystem corrosion.

If fungus or bacteria has caused fuel system problems, you shouldhave your authorized dealer correct these problems. Then, use a dieselfuel biocide to sterilize the fuel system (follow the biocidemanufacturer‘s instructions). Biocides are available from your dealer,service stations, parts stores and other automotive places. See yourauthorized dealer for advice on using biocides in your area and forrecommendations on which biocides you should use.

Smoke Suppressants

The use of a smoke suppressant additive is not allowed because of thegreater possibility of stuck rings and valve failure, resulting fromexcessive ash deposits.

27FUEL, LUBRICANTS, AND COOLANT

9/235

LUBRICANT.

Use of unsuitable engine oil will result in piston ring, piston andcylinder seizure and accelerate surface wear causing increased oilconsumption, lowered output and, finally engine failure. To avoid this,use the specified engine oil.

1) Engine Oil Selection

Pro Tec �2) Oil Viscosity

Engine oil viscosity affects engine startability, performance, oilconsumption, wear and the potential for seizure, etc. Always ensurethat lubricants with the correct viscosity for the operating temperatureare used. Refer to fig 5.

NOTE

Using a mixture of different brands or quality of oils will adversely affectthe original oil quality; therefore, never mix different brand or differenttype oils.

Do not use API, CA, CB grade and reconstituted engine oil

Engine damage due to improper maintenance, or using oil of theimproper quality and/or viscosity, is not covered by the warranty.

ENGINE OPERATION

Engine Exhaust Gas Caution (Carbon Monoxide)

CAUTION

Do not breathe exhaust gas because it contains carbon monoxide,which by itself has no color or odor. Carbon monoxide is a dangerousgas. It can cause unconsciousness and can be lethal.

Do not run the engine in confined areas (such as garages or next to abuilding). Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear of snow and othermaterial to help reduce the buildup of exhaust gases under theequipment. This is particularly important when parked in blizzardconditions.

CHECK BEFORE OPERATION

CAUTION: For safety reasons, conduct the inspection with the enginestopped.

Engine Oil Level.

Place the engine or the machine on a level surface

Remove the dipstick, wipe it with a cloth. Insert it fully and take it outgently again.

Check the oil level against the marks on the dipstick. The oil levelmust be between the ”H” level mark and the ”L” level mark asillustrated

Fig. 6

Also check the sample oil on the dipstick for contamination andviscosity.Take care not to add too much engine oil

Oil can be poured either through the oil filler at the front of the cylinderhead cover or through the oil filler on the right side of the timing gearcase.

A certain period of time is required before the engine oil completelyflows down from the oil filler to the crankcase. Wait at least ten minutesbefore checking the oil level.

NOTE:Take care to avoid engine oil being splashed on the fan drivebelt because it causes belt slippage or slackness.

CAUTION: When adding oil, take care not to spill it. If you spill oil on theengine or equipment, wipe it properly, to prevent the risk of fire andpersonal injury and/or equipment damage.

Fan and Belt Check

The engine is fitted with an automatic belt tensioner

Check the fan belt for tension and abnormalities.

A loose belt will cause belt slippage which may result in a damaged belt,abnormal noise, poor battery charging and engine overheating.

Fig. 7

Use of Genuine Ingersoll–Rand Fan Belt.

Always use Genuine Ingersoll–Rand fan belts as they provide highdriving ability and long operating durability. Use of non–Ingersoll–Randfan belts could result in premature belt wear or belt elongation leadingto engine overheating or excessive belt noise.

Coolant Level Check

Check and ensure that the level is correct.

CAUTION: When removing the radiator filler cap, while the engine isstill hot, cover the cap with cloth, then turn it slowly to gradually releasethe internal steam pressure. this will prevent anyone from beingscalded by hot steam spurting out from the filler neck.

Add coolant mixed to the correct ratio: 50/50 ethylene glycol/water.

Radiator Cap Condition

After the replenishment of the coolant, install the radiator filler cap.Make sure the cap is securely installed.

Crankcase Breather

Check and clean the breather tube daily during cold weather.

Battery Cable Connection

Check the battery cable connections for looseness or corrosion. Aloosened cable connection will result in hard engine starting orinsufficient battery charge. The battery cables must be tightenedsecurely. Never reverse “+” and “–” terminals when reconnectingcables after disconnection. Even a short period of reverse connectionwill damage the electrical parts.

Battery Electrolyte level

The amount of electrolyte in the batteries will be reduced after repeateddischarge and recharge. Check the electrolyte level in the batteries,replenish with a commercially available electrolyte such as distilledwater, if necessary. The battery electrolyte level checking procedurewill vary with battery type. NOTICE: Do not replenish with dilute sulfuricacid in the daily service.

CAUTION:

When inspecting the batteries, be sure to stop the engine first.

As dilute sulphuric acid is used as electrolyte, be careful not tocontaminate your eyes, hands, clothes, and metals with the electrolyte.If it gets in your eye, wash with a large amount of water at once, thenseek medical advice.

As highly flammable hydrogen gas is released from the batteries, do notcreate a spark or allow any naked flame near the batteries.

When handling such metallic articles as tools near the batteries, besure not to contact the “+” terminal because the compressor body is “–”and a dangerous short circuit might result.

When disconnecting the terminals, start with “–” terminal. Whenconnecting them, connect the “–” terminal last.

CHECKS AND OPERATION AFTER START–UP

Check after the Engine Start–up

Check the following items in the engine warming–up operation.

Engine oil pressure –

The engine oil pressure gauge readings (where fitted) may varydepending on ambient temperature and type of oil. The gauge shouldregister around 55 to 85 psi in the warming–up period.

Engine noise and exhaust smoke color –

Listen to the engine and, if any abnormal noise is heard, check todetermine the cause.

Check the fuel combustion condition by observing the exhaust smokecolor. The exhaust smoke color after engine warm–up and at no–loadcondition should be colorless or light blue.

Black or white smoke indicates incorrect combustion.

Note: After start–up from cold the engine might be noisier and theexhaust smoke color darker than when it has warmed up. However thiscondition will disappear after warm up.

Leakage in the systems –

Check the following items:

Lubrication oil leakage –

Check the engine for oil leaks, paying particular attention to oil filter andoil pipe joints.

Fuel leakage –

Check the fuel injection pump, fuel lines and fuel filter for leakage.

Coolant leakage – Check the radiator and water pump hoseconnections and the water drain cock on the cylinder block for leakage.

Exhaust smoke or gas leakage

Checking coolant level

The coolant level could drop because any mixed air is expelled in about5 minutes after the engine started.

Stop the engine, remove radiator cap, and add coolant.

CAUTION: Hot steam can rush out and you could get burnt if theradiator cap is removed when the engine is hot. Cover the radiator capwith a thick cloth and loosen the cap slowly to reduce the pressure, thenremove the cap.

30 OPERATION

9/235

OPERATION AND CARE OF A NEW ENGINE.

Your Ingersoll–Rand engine is carefully tested and adjusted in thefactory, however, further run–in is necessary. Avoid any harsh engineoperation within the initial 100 operating hours.

Do not operate the unit at full load until the engine is warmed–up.

Do not allow the engine to run unloaded for extended periods so as tominimise the risk of cylinder bore glazing.

During operation, pay attention to the following points if the engineshows any sign of abnormalities.

(1) Engine Oil Pressure – The engine oil pressure is monitored by aswitch that will stop the engine if the pressure falls below a pre–setvalue.If the oil pressure gauge shows below 30 psi or if the readingfluctuates continually, stop the engine and check the oil level. If thelevel is correct, contact your local Ingersoll–Rand branch or dealerto establish the cause.

(2) Coolant Temperature – The engine performance will be adverselyaffected if engine coolant temperature is too hot or too cold. The normalcoolant temperature is 75 to 85�C (167 to 185�F).

Overheating

CAUTION:

If you see or hear escaping steam or have other reason to suspectthere is a serious overheat condition, stop the engine immediately.

If the Engine Coolant Temperature gage (where fitted) shows anoverheat condition, or you have reason to suspect the engine may beoverheating, take the following step:

� Close the service valve to reduce the load.

� Let the engine run at normal idle speed for two or three minutes. Ifthe engine coolant temperature does not start to drop, turn off theengine and proceed as follows:

CAUTION: To help avoid being burned –

� Do not open the canopy or door if you see or hear steam or enginecoolant escaping. Wait until no steam or engine coolant can be seen orheard before opening the engine canopy or door.

� Do not remove the radiator filler cap if the engine coolant in thereserve tank is boiling. Also do not remove the radiator filler cap whilethe engine and radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam can beblown out under pressure if either cap is taken off too soon.

If no steam or engine coolant can be seen or heard, open the canopyor door. If the engine coolant is boiling, wait until it stops beforeproceeding. The engine coolant level should be between the “MAXCOLD” and “MIN” marks on the reserve tank.

Make sure the fan belt is not broken, or off the pulley, and that the fanturns when the engine is started. If the engine coolant level in thereserve tank is low, look for leaks at the radiator hoses andconnections, radiator, and water pump. If you find major leaks, do notrun the engine until these problems have been corrected. If you do notfind a leak or other problem, WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE HAS COOLEDDOWN then carefully add engine coolant to the reserve tank.

(Engine coolant is a mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and water.See “Engine Care in cold season” for the proper antifreeze andmixture.)

CAUTION: To avoid being burned, do not spill antifreeze or enginecoolant on the exhaust system or hot engine parts. Under someconditions the ethylene glycol in engine coolant is combustible.

If the engine coolant level in the reserve tank is at the correct level butthere is still an indication of an overheat condition and no cause wasfound, please consult your local Ingersoll–Rand branch or dealer.

Overcooling

Operating the engine at low coolant temperature will not only increasethe oil and fuel consumption but also will lead to premature parts wearwhich may result in engine failure. Ensure that the engine reachesnormal operating temperature 75 to 85�C (167 to 185�F) within tenminutes of starting.

(3) Hourmeter

This meter indicates the machine operation hours. Make sure that themeter is always working during engine operation. Periodical machinemaintenance is scheduled on the operation hours indicated on thehourmeter.

(4) Liquid and Exhaust Smoke Leakage

Make regular checks for lubricant, fuel, coolant and exhaust smokeleakage.

(5) Abnormal Engine Noise

In the event of any abnormal engine noise, please consult your localIngersoll–Rand branch or dealer.

(6) State of the Exhaust Smoke

Check for any abnormal exhaust smoke color.

ENGINE STOPPING

(1) Close service valves.

(2) Before stopping the engine, cool down the engine by operating it atreduced load about three minutes. In this period, check the enginenoise and the engine oil pressure (where a gage is fitted) forabnormalities.

LONG TERM STORAGE

If the equipment is to be out of operation for an extended period, itshould be started at least once per week and run on load for about 15minutes after it has reached normal operating temperature.

Oil level recheck:

Stop the engine for at least ten minutes.

Use the dipstick to recheck the oil level. If necessary replenish withengine oil to the specified level

NOTE:When the engine is started, the oil level will slightly drop fromthe initial level as the oil fills the entire oil circuit.

Engine Oil Additives

Engine oils contain a variety of additives. Your engine should not needany extra additives if you use the recommended oil quality and changeintervals.

Used Oil Disposal – Do not dispose of used engine oil (or any otheroil) 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 aused oil collection facility which may be found in your community. If youhave a problem disposing of your used oil, it is suggested that youcontact your local Ingersoll–Rand branch or dealer. This also appliesto diesel fuel which is contaminated with water.

Used Engine Oil

CAUTION: Used engine oil contains harmful contaminants that havecaused skin cancer in laboratory animals. Avoid prolonged skincontact. Clean skin and nails thoroughly using soap and water –notmineral oil, fuels, or solvents. Launder or discard clothing, shoes, orrags containing used engine oil.

COOLING SYSTEM

Coolant Change

The coolant must be changed at intervals of 1000 hours or twelvemonths, whichever come first.

If the coolant becomes sludged up it will lead to engine overheating orcoolant blow–off from the radiator.

Coolant draining.

WARNING: Hot engine coolant and steam can cause injury. When ad-ding to or draining coolant or antifreeze solution from the engine radi-ator, stop the engine at least one minute prior to releasing the radiatorfiller 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 capuntil all excess fluid is released and the engine cooling system fullydepressurised.

WARNING: Follow the instructions provided by the antifreeze supplierwhen adding or draining the antifreeze solution. It is advisable to wearpersonal protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contact with theantifreeze solution.

Remove the radiator cap.

Slacken the bottom radiator hose clamp to drain the coolant from theradiator.

Filling with coolant

Ensure that the engine is cool.

Close the coolant drain plug and tighten the bottom hose clamp.

Use clean water mixed 50/50 with antifreeze as a coolant.

Fill slowly to prevent air entering the cooling system.

For Coolant volume, refer to ”General Information section”

When the system has been filled, operate the engine about five minutesat a low idle speed, then as the air contained in the coolant circuit is bledoff the coolant level will drop.

Stop the engine and replenish with the correct coolant mix.

Cleaning outside of Radiator, Oil cooler and Charge Air Cooler

Debris, mud or dried grass caught between radiator fins will block theair flow, resulting in lower cooling efficiency. Clean the radiator fins withsteam or low pressure (< 5 Bar) compressed air every 250 hours or 3months (whichever comes first) or more frequently in adverseoperating conditions.

Cooling System Circuit Cleaning

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

Clean the cooling system circuit every 1000 operating hours or 12months, whichever comes first.

33PERIODICAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE.

9/235

FUEL SYSTEM

The fuel injection pump and injector nozzles are preciselymanufactured, and therefore, using fuel which contains water or dustparticles will result in either injection pump plunger seizure or injectornozzle seizure. A fuel filter element blocked with sludge or dustparticles will lead to reduced engine output.

Perform inspection and maintenance periodically as follows:

Fig. 15

A Filter element

B Drain valve

Draining Water from Fuel Filter/separator.

The fuel filter/separator is provided to allow water to be drained from thefuel system. Water is heavier than fuel so any water contained in thesystem will collect in the bottom of the bowl.

Place a suitable container under the separator to prevent any spillageinside the machine.

Slacken the drain valve ‘B’ until water drains from the vent tube.

When all the water has been evacuated, tighten the drain valve ‘B’.

Fuel filter/separator element change.

NOTE:The cartridge and bowl contain fuel. Take care not to spill it duringdisassembly and reassembly.

The fuel filter/separator also provides primary filtration and the element‘A’ should be changed every 500 operating hours or 6 months,whichever comes first.

Change procedure:

Disconnect fuel sensor (where fitted). Loosen drain plug B andempty fuel into suitable container

Fig. 16

Unscrew the element ‘A’ from the head taking care not to spill fuelinside the machine. Remove fuel sensor (where fitted) and re–fit tonew filter element

Discard the old element into a suitable container.

Using a clean cloth, wipe the sealing face of the filter/separator headto ensure correct seating of the sealing ring.

Fill the element/bowl assembly with clean fuel oil then apply a light coatof clean engine oil to the new element seal ring.

Screw the new element onto the head firmly by hand.

The engine has a self priming system that purges air from the fuelsystem.

AIR INTAKE SYSTEM

Air cleaner

Engine performance and life vary with the air intake conditions.

A dirty air cleaner element reduces the amount of intake air, causingreduced engine output and possible engine damage.

Also, a damaged element leads to abrasion of cylinders and valves,resulting in increased oil consumption, reduced output and shortenedengine life.

The filter element should be changed at 500 hours or 6 months,whichever comes first, or sooner if the restriction indicator shows red.See below.

Air cleaner with dust indicator

This indicator is attached to the air cleaner. When the air cleanerelement is clogged, air intake resistance becomes greater and the dustindicator signal turns to red indicating the element needs to bechanged.

When the signal turns to red, replace the element. Then press the dustindicator button to reset the indication.

Air Intake Piping

Inspect air intake and charge air cooling pipes and connections fordamage or loose fitting. Replace or re–fit as necessary.

Fig. 18

ENGINE ELECTRICAL

The Ingersoll–Rand engines uses a 24 volt system and a negativegrounding for the electrical system.

Battery Servicing

Battery terminal connections

Check the battery cable connections for looseness or corrosion.Poor cable connections will result in difficult engine starting orinsufficient battery charge.

The battery cables must be tightened securely.

Never reverse “+” and “–” terminals when reconnecting cables afterremoval. Even a short period of reverse connection will damage theelectrical parts.

Cleaning of Battery

When the battery terminals are fouled clean them with clean tepid waterand wipe with a dry cloth to remove the water. Apply a light coat ofvaseline or a grease.

Alternator Servicing

The polarity of the alternator is negative (–) grounding type.

Do not reverse the polarity connection, otherwise a short circuit willoccur resulting in alternator failure.

Do not put water directly on the alternator. Entry of water into thealternator creates electrolytic corrosion causing failure.

When the battery is charged from an external source, be sure todisconnect the battery cables.

Wiring Connections

Check all of the electric wiring connections for looseness and damageon a regular basis.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Please refer to the engine maintenance schedule.

For continued trouble free engine operation throughout its life, theservice procedures marked with an asterisk (*) need to be carried outby a skilled and trained technician.

Please consult your local Ingersoll–Rand branch or dealer when theseprocedures become due.

Please also read the note refering to the service items marked with thestar � symbol.

35COLD WEATHER OPERATION

9/235

FUEL SELECTION

In cold weather, the fuel might freeze resulting in difficult enginestarting; therefore, select a suitable fuel for such engine operation.Use ASTM 975 No. 2–D fuel if you expect temperature above 20�F(–7�C).

Use Number 1–D if you expect temperatures below 20�F (–7�C).

If Number 1–D is not available, a “winter” blend of 1–D and 2–D isavailable in some areas during the winter months.

Check with your fuel supplier to be sure you get the correct blendedfuel.

COOLANT

Where the ambient temperature falls below freezing point, thecooling system should be drained after engine operation, but toeliminate the need for repeated draining, refilling and to provide all yearprotection against corrosion, the use of anti–freeze solution throughoutthe year is highly recommended.

All Ingersoll–Rand portable compressor engines are factory filledwith a 50/50 Ethylene glycol base antifreeze/water mix. which providesprotection to –33�C (–27�F)

Concentrations over about 65% adversely affect freeze protection,heat transfer rates, and silicate stability which may cause water pumpleakage.

CAUTION:

Never exceed a 60/40 antifreeze/water mix.(which provides protection to about–50�C (–58�F).

NOTE:

Methyl alcohol base antifreeze is not recommended because of itseffect on the non–metallic components of the cooling system andbecause of its low boiling point.

NOTE:

High silicate antifreeze is not recommended because of causingserious silica gelation problems.

NOTE:

Usage and mixing ratio etc. should be followed to the antifreezemanufacture’s recommendations.

ENGINE OIL

At low ambient temperatures, engine oil viscocity can affect enginestarting. It is important to use the correct grade of oil as recommendedin fig 4.

Try to position the compressor where it will not be affected by coldwinds when not running.

BATTERY

(1) Always ensure that the batteries are kept fully charged in the coldseason. This takes a longer period of running than in warm weatheroperation.

The electrolyte in a partly discharged battery will freeze easier thanwhen it is fully charged. Try to keep the batterys fully charged and warmin cold weather operation.

(2) Top up the battery with distilled water immediately before startingthe engine.

COLD STARTING

When operating in cold ambient conditions, or when starting fromcold. If the engine does not start at the first attempt, allow the batteryto recover for at least 30 seconds. Observe the following procedures:

In order to protect the starter, do not engage for longer than 10 secondsduring any attempt.

If during cranking, the starter motor repeatedly engages anddisengages the battery power could be low. Either recharge the batteryor replace it with one that is fully charged.

NOTICE: Do not use starting “aids” in the air intake system. Such aidscan cause immediate engine damage.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

This section refers to the various components which requireperiodic maintenance and replacement.

The MAINTENANCE CHART indicates the various components’descriptions and the intervals when maintenance has to take place. Oilcapacities, etc., can be found in the GENERAL INFORMATIONsection of this manual.

For any specification or specific requirement on service orpreventative maintenance for the engine, refer to the Engine Section.

Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectly handled. Beforedoing any work on the unit, ensure that all pressure is vented from thesystem and that the machine cannot be started accidentally.

If the automatic blowdown fails to operate, then pressure must begradually relieved by operating the manual blowdown valve. Suitablepersonal protective equipment should be worn.

Ensure that maintenance personnel are adequately trained,competent and have read the Maintenance Manuals.

Prior to attempting any maintenance work, ensure that:–

. all air pressure is fully discharged and isolated from the system. Ifthe automatic blowdown valve is used for this purpose, then allowenough time for it to complete the operation.

. the discharge pipe / manifold area is depressurised by opening thedischarge valve, whilst keeping clear of any airflow from it.

MINIMUM PRESSURE VALVE – WHEN FITTED

WARNING: Pressure will remain in the system between theminimum pressure valve and the service valve after shutdown andoperation 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 fitanti–start devices.

. Disconnect battery cables.

Prior to opening or removing panels or covers to work insidea machine, ensure that:–

. anyone entering the machine is aware of the reduced level ofprotection and the additional hazards, including hot surfaces andintermittently moving parts.

. The machine cannot be started.

Prior to attempting any maintenance work on a runningmachine, ensure that:–

. the work carried out is limited to only those tasks which require themachine to run.

. the work carried out with safety protection devices disabled orremoved is limited to only those tasks which require the machine to berunning with safety protection devices disabled or removed.

. all hazards present are known (e.g. pressurised components,electrically live components, removed panels, covers and guards,extreme temperatures, inflow and outflow of air, intermittently movingparts, safety valve discharge etc.).

. Start the machine.

Note: Do not press the load button.

. Disconnect the switch, the machine should shutdown.

. Re–connect the switch.

Test the low engine fuel level switch by removing and operatingthe float manually.

WARNING: Never remove or replace switches when the machineis running.

SCAVENGE LINE

The scavenge line runs from the combined orifice/drop tube in theseparator tank, to the orifice fitting located in the airend.

Check that the scavenge line and tube are clear of anyobstruction each time the compressor lubricant is changed as anyblockage will result in oil carryover into the discharge air.

COMPRESSOR OIL FILTER

Refer to the MAINTENANCE CHART in this section for therecommended servicing intervals.

Removal

WARNING: Do not remove the filter(s) without first making surethat the machine is stopped and the system has been completelyrelieved of all air pressure. (Refer to STOPPING THE UNIT in theOPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual).

Clean the exterior of the filter housing and remove the spin–onelement by turning it in a counter–clockwise direction.

Inspection

Inspect the oil filter head to be sure the gasket was removed withthe oil filter element. Clean the gasket seal area on the oil filter head.

CAUTION: If there is any indication of the formation of varnishes,shellacs or lacquers on the filter element, it is a warning that thecompressor lubricating and cooling oil has deteriorated and that itshould be changed immediately. Refer to LUBRICATION later in thissection.

NOTICE: Installing a new oil filter element when the old gasketremains on the filter head, will cause an oil leak and can causeproperty damage.

Reassembly

Clean the filter gasket contact area and install the new element byscrewing in a clockwise direction until the gasket makes contact withthe filter housing. Tighten a further 1/2 to 3/4 of a revolution.

CAUTION: Start the machine (refer to PRIOR TO STARTING andSTARTING THE UNIT in the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS sectionof this manual) and check for leakage before the machine is put backinto service.

COMPRESSOR OIL SEPARATOR ELEMENT

Refer to the MAINTENANCE CHART in this section for therecommended servicing intervals.

If, however, the element has to be replaced, then proceed asfollows:

Removal

WARNING: Do not remove the filter(s) without first making surethat the machine is stopped and the system has been completelyrelieved of all air pressure. (Refer to STOPPING THE UNIT in theOPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual).

Disconnect all hoses and tubes from the separator tank cover plate.Remove the drop–tube from the separator tank cover plate and thenremove the cover plate. Remove the separator element.

Inspection

Examine the filter element. Examine all hoses and tubes, andreplace if necessary.

Reassembly

Thoroughly clean the orifice/drop tube and filter gasket contact areabefore reassembly. Install the new element.

WARNINGDo not remove the staple from the anti–static gasket on the

separator element since it serves to ground any possible staticbuild–up. Do not use gasket sealant since this will affect electricalconductance.

CAUTION: Start the machine (refer to PRIOR TO STARTING andSTARTING THE UNIT in the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS sectionof this manual) and check for leakage before the machine is put backinto service.

COMPRESSOR OIL COOLER AND ENGINE RADIATOR

When grease, oil and dirt accumulate on the exterior surfaces of the oilcooler and radiator, the efficiency is impaired. It is recommended thateach month the oil cooler and radiator be cleaned by directing a jet ofcompressed air, (carrying if possible a non–flammable cleaningsolvent) over the exterior core of the cooler/radiator. This shouldremove any accumulation of oil, grease and dirt from the exterior coreof the cooler so that the entire cooling area can radiate the heat of thelubricating and cooling oil/water into the air stream.

WARNING: Hot engine coolant and steam can cause injury. Whenadding coolant or antifreeze solution to the engine radiator, stopthe engine at least one minute prior to releasing the radiator fillercap. Using a cloth to protect the hand, slowly release the filler cap,absorbing any released fluid with the cloth. Do not remove thefiller cap until all excess fluid is released and the engine coolingsystem fully depressurised.

WARNING: Follow the instructions provided by the antifreezesupplier when adding or draining the antifreeze solution. It isadvisable to wear personal protective equipment to prevent skinand eye contact with the antifreeze solution.

AIR FILTER ELEMENTS

The air filter should be inspected regularly (refer to theSERVICE/MAINTENANCE CHART) and the element replaced whenthe restriction indicator shows red or every 6 Months (500 hours),whichever comes first. The dust collector box(es) should be cleaneddaily (more frequently in dusty operating conditions) and not allowed tobecome more than half full.

Removal

CAUTION: Never remove and replace element(s) when the machineis running.

Clean the exterior of the filter housing and remove the filter elementby releasing the nut.

Reassembly

Assemble the new element into the filter housing ensuring that theseal 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 havenot loosened. If, for any reason, it becomes necessary to remove thefan or re–tighten the fan mounting bolts, apply a good grade ofcommercially available thread locking compound to the bolt threadsand tighten to the torque value shown in the TORQUE SETTINGTABLE later in this section.

The fan belt(s) should be checked regularly for wear and correcttensioning.

FUEL SYSTEM

The fuel tank should be filled daily or every eight hours. To minimisecondensation in the fuel tank(s), it is advisable to top up after themachine is shut down or at the end of each working day. At six monthintervals drain any sediment or condensate that may haveaccumulated in the tank(s).

Refer to MAINTENANCE CHART.

FUEL FILTER WATER SEPARATOR

The fuel filter water separator contains a filter element which shouldbe replaced at regular intervals (see the MAINTENANCE CHART).

CHARGE AIR COOLER PIPEWORK

Inspect all hoses and clips on the charge cooler pipe work.

Engine damage will occur if the charge cooling system leaks.

HOSES

All components of the engine cooling air intake system should bechecked 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 usedfor air lines, oil lines and fuel lines.

Periodically inspect all pipework for cracks, leaks, etc. and replaceimmediately if damaged.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

WARNING: Always disconnect the battery cables beforeperforming any maintenance or service.

Check the security of electrical terminals on the switches and relaysi.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 smellsand blistered paint.

BATTERY

Keep the battery terminals and cable clamps clean and lightlycoated with petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.

The retaining clamp should be kept tight enough to prevent thebattery from moving.

PRESSURE SYSTEM

Regularly, it is necessary to inspect the external surfaces of thesystem (from the airend through to the discharge valve(s)) includinghoses, tubes, tube fittings and the separator tank, for visible signs ofimpact damage, excessive corrosion, abrasion, tightness and chafing.Any suspect parts should be replaced before the machine is put backinto service.

TYRE PRESSURE

See the GENERAL INFORMATION section of this manual.

RUNNING GEAR/WHEELS

Check the wheel nut torque 20 miles (30 kilometres) after refittingthe wheels. Refer to the TORQUE SETTING TABLE later in thissection.

Lifting jacks should only be used under the axle.

The bolts securing the running gear to the chassis should bechecked periodically for tightness (refer to the MAINTENANCECHART for frequency) and re–tightened where necessary. Refer to theTORQUE SETTING TABLE later in this section.

LUBRICATION

CAUTION: Always check the oil levels before a new machine is put intoservice.

If, for any reason, the unit has been drained, it must be re–filled withnew oil before it is put into operation.

ENGINE LUBRICATING OIL

The engine oil should be changed at the engine manufacturer’srecommended intervals. Refer to the Engine section of this manual.

Refer to the Engine operators’ manual/section for engine oilspecifications

Refer to the Engine section of this manual.

COMPRESSOR LUBRICATING OIL

Refer to the MAINTENANCE CHART in this section for serviceintervals.

NOTE: If the machine has been operating under adverse conditions,or has suffered long shutdown periods, then more frequent serviceintervals will be required.

WARNING: DO NOT, under any circumstances, remove any drainplugs or the oil filler plug from the compressor lubricating andcooling system without first making sure that the machine isstopped and the system has been completely relieved of all airpressure (refer to STOPPING THE UNIT in the OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS section of this manual).

Completely drain the receiver/separator system including the pipingand oil cooler by removing the drain plug(s) and collecting the used oilin 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 beenrunning, then most of the sediment will be in suspension and willtherefore drain more readily.

CAUTION: Some oil mixtures are incompatible and result in theformation 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 6 months. Thetype of grease used should conform to specification MIL–G–10924.

SPEED AND PRESSURE REGULATION ADJUSTMENT

Normally, regulation requires no adjusting, but if correct adjustmentis lost, proceed as follows:

Refer to the diagram above.

A. Throttle Arm

B. Adjusting Screw

C. Engine Governor

D. Separator Tank

E. Inlet Unloader

Start the machine (Refer to STARTING INSTRUCTIONS in theOPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual).

Inspect the throttle arm on the engine governor to see that it isextended in the full speed position when the engine is running atfull–load speed and the service valve is fully open. (Refer to theGENERAL INFORMATION section of this manual).

Adjust the service valve on the outside of the machine to maintainnormal operating discharge pressure without the throttle arm movingfrom the full speed position before normal operating dischargepressure is attained. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increasethe pressure.Optimum adjustment is achieved when the throttle armjust moves from its full speed position and the pressure gauge readsnormal operating discharge pressure.

Close the service valve. The engine will slow to idle speed.

CAUTION: Never allow the idle pressure to exceed maximumallowable pressure on the pressure gauge, otherwise the safety valvewill operate.

GENERAL

This publication, which contains an illustrated parts breakdown, hasbeen prepared as an aid in locating those parts which may be requiredin the maintenance of the unit. All of the compressor parts, listed in theparts breakdown, are manufactured with the same precision as theoriginal equipment. For the greatest protection always insist ongenuine Ingersoll–Rand Company parts for your compressor.

NOTICE

Ingersoll–Rand Company can bear no responsibility for injury ordamages resulting directly from the use of non–approved repair parts.

Ingersoll–Rand Company service facilities and parts are availableworldwide. There are Ingersoll– Rand Company ConstructionEquipment Group Sales Offices and authorized distributors located inthe principal cities of the United States. In Canada our customers areserviced by the Canadian Ingersoll–Rand Company, Limited. Thereare also Ingersoll–Rand International autonomous companies andauthorized distributors located in the principal cities throughout the freeworld.

Special order parts may not be included in this manual. Contact theMocksville Parts Department with the unit serial number for assistancewith these special parts.

DESCRIPTION

The illustrated parts breakdown illustrates and lists the variousassemblies, subassemblies and detailed parts which make up thisparticular machine. This covers the standard models and the morepopular options that are available.

A series of illustrations show each part distinctly and in location relativeto the other parts in the assembly. The part number, the description ofthe part and the quantity of parts required are shown on eachillustration or on adjacent page. The quantities specified are thenumber of parts used per one assembly and are not necessarily thetotal number of parts used in the machine. Where no quantity isspecified the quantity is assumed to be one.

Each description of a part is based upon the “noun first” method, i.e.,the identifying noun or item name is always the first part of thedescription. The noun name is generally followed by a singledescriptive modifier. The descriptive modifier may be followed bywords or abbreviations such as upper, lower, inner, outer, front, rear,RH, LH, etc. when they are essential.

In referring to the rear, the front or to either side of the unit, alwaysconsider the drawbar end of the unit as the front. Standing at the rearof the unit facing the drawbar (front) will determine the right and leftsides.

FASTENERS

Both SAE/inch, ISO/metric hardware have been used in the design andassembly of these units. In the disassembly and reassembly of parts,extreme care must be taken to avoid damaging threads by the use ofwrong fasteners.
