RETAIN FOR REFERENCE. SAFETY DEFINITIONS A DANGER WILL cause DEATH, SEVERE INJURY or substantial property damage. A WARNING CAN cause DEATH, SEVERE INJURY or substantial property damage. A CAUTION WILL or CAN cause MINOR INJURY or property damage. GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS _ A DANGER A WARNING A CAUTION INTAKE AIR. Can contain carbon monoxide or other contaminants. Will cause serious injury or death. Ingersoll-Rand air compressors are not designed, intended or approved for breathing air. Compressed air should not be used for breathing air applications unless treated in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations. HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE. Can cause serious injury or death. Disconnect power and bleed pressure from tank before servicing. Lockout/Tagout machine. Compressor must be connected to properly grounded circuit. See grounding instructions in manual. Do not operate compressor in wet conditions. Store indoors. MOVING PARTS. Can cause serious injury. Do not operate with guards removed. Machine may start automatically. Disconnect power before servicing. Lockout/Tagout machine. HOT SURFACES. Can cause serious injury. Do not touch. Allow to cool before servicing. Do not touch hot compressor or tubing. HIGH PRESSURE AIR. Bypassing, modifying or removing safety/relief valves can cause serious injury or death. Do not bypass, modify or remove safety/relief valves. Do not direct air stream at body. Rusted tanks can cause explosion and severe injury or death. Drain tank daily or after each use. Drain valve located at bottom of tank. RISK OF BURSTING. Use only suitable air handling parts acceptable for pressure of not less than the maximum allowable working pressure of the machine. Never modify or repair tank. Obtain replacement from service center. GENERAL INFORMATION Your air compressor unit is suitable for operating a variety of air tools. Depending on your application, the following accessories may be required: • An air line filter for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air. • An in-line lubricator to prolong the life of air tools. • Separate air transformers which combine the functions of air regulation and/or moisture and dirt removal. Contact your nearest authorized dealer or call 1-800-AIR-SERV for more information on air tools and accessories for your application. PREPARATION FOR USE LIFTING THE UNIT_ Lifting points are labeled on the frame of the unit. Lift the unit by the designated lifting points only. SELECTING A LOCATION_ GENERAL. Select a clean, dry, well-lighted area with plenty of space for ventilation, proper cooling air flow and accessibility. Locate the unit at least 12 inches (30 cm) from walls. Ensure unit is as level as possible to avoid fuel spillage. TEMPERATURE. Ideal operating temperatures are between 32°F and 100°F (0°C and 37.8°C). In lower temperatures, you must protect safety/relief valves and drain valves from freezing. A CAUTION Never operate in temperatures below 20°F (-6.6°C) or above 125°F (51.0°C). HUMID AREAS. In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in the bare pump and produce sludge in the lubricant, causing running parts to wear out prematurely. Excessive moisture is especially likely to occur if the unit is located in an unheated area that is subject to large temperature changes. Two signs of excessive humidity are external condensation on the bare pump when it cools down and a “milky” appearance in petroleum compressor lubricant. You may be able to prevent moisture from forming in the bare pump by increasing ventilation or operating for longer intervals. NOISE CONSIDERATIONS. Consult local officials for information regarding acceptable noise levels in your area. To reduce excessive noise, use vibration mounts or intake silencers, relocate the unit or construct total enclosures or baffle walls. Contact your dealer for assistance. INSTALLING THE AIR INLET FILTER_ A CAUTION Do not operate without air inlet filter. Install the air inlet filter at the inlet connection at the bare pump. If heavy duty filtration is required, contact your dealer for information. INSTALLING DISCHARGE PIPING_ If it is necessary to install air discharge piping or condensate discharge piping, adhere to the following general guidelines. Contact your dealer for more information. A WARNING Do not use plastic pipe, rubber hose, or lead-tin soldered joints anywhere in the compressed air system. A WARNING If an aftercooler, check valve, block valve, or any other restriction is added to the compressor discharge, install a properly-sized ASME approved safety/relief valve between the compressor discharge and the restriction. A CAUTION If you will be using Ingersoll-Rand synthetic compressor lubricant, all downstream piping material and system components must be compatible. Refer to © Ingersoll-Rand Company Printed in U.S.A. Form SCD-885 June 2000 2 the following material compatibility list. If there are incompatible materials present in you...
