Introduction
American Eagle® Air Compressors are designed to provide safe and dependable service
for a variety of operations. With proper use and maintenance, these air compressors will
operate at peak performance for many years.
To promote this longevity, carefully study the information contained in this manual before
putting the equipment into service. Though it is not intended to be a training manual for
beginners, this manual should provide solid guidelines for the safe and proper usage of the
air compressor.
Once you feel comfortable with the material contained in this manual, strive to exercise
your knowledge as you safely operate and maintain the air compressor. This process is vital
to the proper use of the unit.
A few notes on this manual:
A copy of this manual is provided with every air compressor and can be found in the hard
plastic manual case that is installed on the chassis. A copy of this manual shall remain with
the air compressor at all times.
Throughout the manual, three signal words will be used to bring attention to important
items:
A NOTICE signal word indicates a practice not related to physical injury.
A WARNING signal word indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
A DANGER signal word indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Information contained within this manual does not cover all maintenance, operating, or
repair instructions pertinent to all possible situations. Please be aware that some sections
of this manual contain information pertaining to American Eagle®manufactured air
compressors in general and may or may not apply to your specic model.
This manual is not binding. American Eagle reserves the right to change, at any time, any
or all of the items, components, and parts deemed necessary for product improvement or
commercial/production purposes. This right is kept with no requirement or obligation for

Operation is limited to the following people:
A. Qualied individual.
B. Trainees under direct supervision of the qualied individual.
C. Test or maintenance individual.
D. Air compressor inspector.
Qualied individuals must:
A. Demonstrate the ability to understand all decals, the owner’s manual, and any other
information required for safe operation of the air compressor.
B. Be able to demonstrate the ability to safely control the air compressor.
C. Know all safety regulations.
D. Be responsible for maintenance requirements.
E. Understand and be fully capable of implementing all emergency procedures.
F. Understand all operating procedures as outlined by this manual.
Operator Requirements
It is the responsibility of the owner to instruct the operator in the safe operation of the
equipment and to provide the operator with properly maintained equipment.
American Eagle® Air Compressor operators must conform to the
qualications specied in this manual. Trainees or untrained persons shall be under the
direct supervision of qualied persons.
Operators shall consult with the owner of the equipment regarding current safety
regulations and required personal protective equipment.
Operators should never operate the air compressor while under the adverse inuence of
alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Please take note that American Eagle is not liable for accidents incurred by the air
compressor because of non-fulllment from the operator’s side of current rules, laws, and
regulations.
WARNING
General Operation
Chapter 1 - Operation
Safety should be the n umber one thought on every operator’s mind. Three factors should
exist for safe operation: a qualied operator, well-maintained equipment, and the proper
use of this equipment.
This chapter contains information regarding the safety and operation of American Eagle®
manufactured air compressors and should be read and understood completely by
everyone working with or near the air compressor before putting the unit into operation.
Failure to follow operating, maintenance, or safety instructions can result
in death or serious injury.
WARNING

Page 2 | American Eagle®SRS-40 Owner’s Manual
Inspect unit for any visible signs of damage. Check hoses (air and hydraulic) for weak or
worn condition and make sure that all connections are secure.
Do not operate the compressor if it is damaged, improperly adjusted or
not assembled properly.
Do not operate the compressor with any of the guards removed.
Check the oil level in the compressor (See Section “Changing the Oil”). If oil is needed, use
American Eagle® Synthetic Compressor Oil (P/N C0087) or an equivalent synthetic oil.
Check the air intake lter to make certain that it is clean and unobstructed. A dirty air lter
is a possible cause of reduced air output.
The air taken in by the air compressor must be free of ammable fumes
and vapors.
To use the compressor:
1. Start the vehicle engine and engage the hydraulic system.
2. The compressor can now be activated using the compressor switch. This energizes the
hydraulic solenoid sending oil to the hydraulic drive motor and starts the compressor. The
system will now function automatically.
Never use the compressor as a booster pump and/or to compress a
medium other than atmospheric air.
3. Once engaged, adjust the engine speed control to ensure that the compressor speed
does not exceed 8000 rpm under load. Adjustment instructions are provided with the
speed control unit.

Start-Up Procedure
Before Start-Up

American Eagle®SRS-40 Owner’s Manual | Page 3
Activating the compressor switch sends power to the cooling fan, hydraulic solenoid
valve and normally closed terminal (87A) on the Bosch relay. The normally open hydraulic
solenoid valve closes, sending hydraulic oil to the motor operating the compressor. The fan
and compressor operate whenever the hydraulic system is engaged and the compressor
switch is on. Power from the common terminal (30) on the Bosch relay goes to the line
terminals on the compressor pressure switch. If the air pressure is below the kick out pressure
(115 psi minimum/120 psi maximum) the pressure switch closes sending power to the
engine speed control and compressor air inlet solenoid valve. The engine speeds up and
the compressor begins pumping air. When the air pressure reaches the kick out pressure
setting (145 psi minimum/150 psi maximum) the pressure switch opens, shutting the air inlet
valve and deactivating the speed control.
The compressor is protected by an air pressure and compressor oil switch gauge. The coil
on the Bosch relay is grounded through these two switch gauges. If the air pressure or
compressor oil temperature exceeds the switch gauge settings they close, completing
the circuit and energizing the relay coil. The normally closed switch on the Bosch relay
opens cutting power to the compressor pressure switch. The compressor stops pumping air
and the engine slows down. The switch gauges are set at the factory and should not be
adjusted.
SRS-40 Air Operations
Safety decals serve to inform the viewer of the hazard type, how to avoid the hazard, and
the consequences of not avoiding the hazard.
Decals are considered safety equipment. They must be maintained, as would other safety
devices. All safety instruction plates, notices, load charts and any other decal applied to
the air compressor or vehicle must be kept legible and in good condition. Replace any
decals that are missing, damaged, or illegible.
Safety Decals of Note
WARNING
Failure to obey the following can
result in death or serious injury:
Read and understand all
manuals and safety signs
before operating or
servicing this equipment.
Do not use air from
compressor for breathing
or food processing.
Keep clear while unit is in
operation.
Do not operate unit without
cover attached.
Do not touch any internal
surfaces during or shortly
after operation.
Do not remove caps, plugs, or
other components while unit is
running or has pressure in tank.
Disconnect power and relieve all
pressure prior to maintenance.
Do not search for leaks with hands or
other body parts.
Relieve pressure before disconnecting
lines.
Tighten all connections before applying
pressure.
