During the preparation of this manual every effort was made to ensure the ade-
quacy and accuracy of the contents. Only in this manner can the owner be pro-
vided with a tool that will aid him in obtaining maximum performance and trou-
ble-free service from the compressor. Since all classes of equipment require
a certain amount of attention, the purpose of this manual is to acquaint an oper-
ator with the functions, operation and lubrication of the compressor. This man-
ual also provides the owner with the maintenance requirements applicable to
the various components designed or selected for incorporation into this unit.
Special attention has been given in an effort to make sure that only compo-
nents built with the very best materials and the finest workmanship have been
used, thus reducing the maintenance requirement to a bare minimum.
Before starting the compressor, the instructions should be carefully read to ob-
tain athorough knowledge of the duties to be performed. Take pride in the com-
pressor, keep it clean, and in good mechanical condition. For complete protec-
tion and minimum down-time to facilitate the maintenance effort that is re-
quired, it is suggested that a complete set of recommended spares be kept on
hand during and after the first few months of operation. For recommended
spares, replacement parts or information regarding the condition or operation
of your unit or for major servlclnp not covered in this manual, consult your near-
est sales office, autonomous company or authorized distributor. Be sure to
specify the model and serial number of the compressor during any correspon-
dence with a company representative.
In addition to preventive maintenance, the compressor airend
may
require
overhauling to maintain maximum output and performance of the unit. Your
Ingersolf-Rand Company Construction Equipment Group Sales Offices and
authorized distributors as well as Ingersoll-Rand Intemational autonomous
companies and authorized distributors now have a compressor airend ex-
change program, therefore we do not recommend overhaul of the airend by
the customer. However, we do recognize the fact that circumstances may
warrant field overhaul of the airend. Prior to any disassembly or reassembly
of the airend we strongly suggest the owner contact the Customer Service
Department, Ingersolf-Rand Company, Mocksville, North Carolina, 27028 for
their advice and suggestions.
For the purpose of encouraging proper malntenance,lngersolf-Rand Company
is providing a Maintenance Log Book (Form PCD685) with each compressor
shipped from the factory. This Log Book contains a performance schedule for
all required noise emission control maintenance. Space is provided in this log
book so that the owner of this compressor can note what maintenance was
done, by whom, where and when.
