aware of important points. These points relate to user safety and preventing equipment problems. Please pay
close attention to these sections.
The following hazards may occur during the normal use
of the equipment. Please read the following chart.
Area: Hazard: Safeguards:
What to look for: What may occur if precautions are not observed. How to avoid the hazard.
Tampering with the Unit while under full or partial
pressure may cause an explosion.
Relieve all pressure from the Unit
before attempting any repair or
maintenance work.
As the Unit starts and stops automatically, serious
injury may result from working on the Unit with the
power still in the on position.
Shut off all power to the Unit before
attempting any repair or maintenance
work.
As the Unit starts and stops automatically, do not
come into contact with moving parts.
Shut off all power to the Unit before

work.
Air compressed by the Unit is not suitable for
inhaling. It may contain vapours harmful to your
health.
Compressor capable of pressures >50 psi.
Never directly inhale compressed air
produced by the Compressor.
Risk of injury, do not direct air stream
at body.
The Compressor Pump, Motor, and Tubing
become hot when running. Touching these areas
may cause severe burns.
Never touch the Pump, Motor, or
Tubing during or immediately after
operation.
As the electrical components on the Unit are
General Purpose, there is a potential for explosion
should vapours be present in the area.
The Compressor must be a minimum
of 20 feet (6.1 meters) from any source
of potentially explosive vapours.

Unpacking and Inspection
It is the responsibility of the receiver of the goods, either the Distributor or Customer, to ensure that the product
has been shipped in full and has arrived in suitable condition. Damage to the product may not be visible at time of
off-loading but may only become apparent upon unpacking or start-up.
Some areas to initially check are as follows:
a) Check for damage to the crating and/or packaging.
b) Check for damage to the Beltguard.
c) If the BeltGuard appears damaged, remove the Guard and turn the Flywheel by hand to ensure the
Crankshaft has not been bent, and the Belt drive is properly aligned and free of distortion.
d) Check the Air Tank thoroughly for possible damage.
Should there be damage to the product or shortages in shipment:
1) Stop any further unpacking or operation of the product.
2) Make note of the problem on the Freight Bill, should it concern a shortage or visible
damage to the product.
3) Should the damage be noticed only after the product has been received, contact the
transport company immediately to file a claim.
Depending on the problem, it may be wise to photograph the damage. Also, it may
be wise to discuss with the carrier representative the time allotted to give notice of loss
or damage to the product; there may be guidelines which limit timeframes of same.
4) Do not attempt further unpacking or operation of the product. Also, do not discard
any packing material used.
5) A Loss or Damage Claim must be submitted to the carrier and supported by the
following documents:
- Copy of Freight Bill of Lading
- Copy of the Invoice and Estimate to repair, in case of damage
- Damage Report
- Copy of photos, if applicable.
Each Ingersoll-Rand Air Compressor is carefully tested and
inspected before shipment. Though every attempt is made to
ensure the safe and complete shipment of our product, freight
damage or misplacement of goods may occur.

Never clamp or bolt Air Receiver Feet to the floor
or support structure. Doing so can greatly
increase stress on the Tank, causing it to weaken
and/or fracture. Use Vibration Pads.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury, use
indoors only.
The Compressor must not be operated in a
confined area where the heat from the Unit
cannot readily escape.

Compressor
Horsepower
IK515 5 to 15 HP
IK2530 25 and 30 HP
If installed in a compressor room, ensure that the
room is adequately ventilated (One Horsepower
produces approximately 2500 BTU/HR.).
Eg: 15 HP Unit x 2500 BTU/HP = 37,500 BTU/hour.
The ambient temperature should be between
50°F and 104°F (10°C to 40°C).
Items to consider when installing the Unit are as
follows:
The Unit must be located indoors in a dry, clean,
cool, dust free, and well-ventilated area. If
possible, the Compressor should be located in a
separate room or area, away from the general
operations of the shop.
Allow a minimum of 18” around and 24” above
the Unit, this being for both the proper ventilation
of the Unit and ease of servicing.
If installing the Unit on a mezzanine, ensure
that the structure can safely support the weight
of the Unit. The Vibration Pads will help to
lessen the sound level of the Unit caused by
harmonics created by the structure.
All Compressor Units must be anchored and
installed as shown below. Failure to do this will
affect the Tank Warranty.

Ensure that the floor under the Unit is smooth,
level and capable of bearing the weight of the
Compressor. The Compressor must sit squarely
on the floor.
This unit must be anchored to the floor as
indicated at above-right.Ingersoll-Rand has
available Installation Kits which include (4)
Vibration Isolator Pads, (1) Stainless Steel Flex
Hose, and Steel and Rubber Washers.
