Safety Guide
Compressor Safety Precautions:
1. Read and understand all instructions completely before operating this compressor.
2. Disengage power to mains and disconnect power lines to the machine prior to
performing any work or maintenance on this unit.
3. Open tank discharge valve and relieve all pressure from tank and compressor
lines. Do not attempt to remove any pressurized systems without first relieving
the pressure within the unit.
4. Do not attempt to service any part while the machine is in operation.
5. Do not operate the compressor at pressures in excess of its indicated rating on the
compressor nameplate.
6. Do not operate the compressor at speeds in excess of its indicated rating on the
compressor nameplate.
7. Do not remove any guards, shields, or screens while the compressor is operating.
If removed for maintenance, replace before resuming operation.
8. Observe the delivery pressure gauge daily to be sure the automatic control system
is operating within the proper limits.
9. Periodically check all safety and relief devices for proper operation.
10. Do not play with compressed air. Pressurized air can cause serious injury or death
to personnel.
11. Be sure that no tools, rags, or loose parts are left on the compressor or drive parts.
12. Do not use flammable solvents for cleaning parts.
13. Exercise cleanliness during maintenance when making repairs.
a. Keep dirt away from parts and exposed openings by covering with a clean
cloth.
14. Install pressure relief valves in any isolated piping in the plant system.
15. Do not operate the compressor in areas where there is the possibility of ingesting
flammable or toxic gases.
16. Check pipe for any signs of wear or deterioration before each use and make
certain that all connections are secure.
17. Observe the prescribed maintenance intervals.
18. Only use genuine Kellogg parts, operating oils and operating material
recommended by Kellogg.
19. Strictly observe the effluent disposal laws of your local authority when disposing
of condensate.

Make sure to investigate the code requirements to ensure compliance prior to
operating the compressor.
The owner, lessor, or operator of this compressor is hereby notified and forewarned
that any failure to observe these safety precautions may result in injury, death
and/or property damage.
Operating Instructions
This Instruction Manual is only part of the full Operations Manual that can be
found on the Kellogg-American website, .
The operating instructions form part of the machine and must be made available
to the compressor operating personnel at all times. In order to receive the
maximum performance and long life from your compressor, the following
instructions should be carefully read and all points regarding installation and
operation of the unit should be noted and observed. Careful reading of the
manual, prior to connecting anything to the motor or compressor, will pay
dividends in long-term trouble-free operation.
Installation Instructions
Inspection:
Check for possible damage in transit and see that the pulley turns freely by hand.
Report any damage to delivering carrier at once.
Location:
Select a clean, dry, and lit location. In cold climates the compressor should be
installed in a heated building. Insulate cold water or other low temperature pipes
that pass overhead to avoid the possible collection and dripping of condensate
onto the compressor and motor, which could cause rusting and/or motor shorting.
Do not install compressor in a boiler room, paint spray room, or area where
sandblasting is carried on. If air in the area where the compressor is to be installed
is acid-laden or dust-laden the compressor intake should be piped to the outside.
This intake pipe should be increased one pipe size for every twenty (20) feet of

run and the intake filters should be installed at the end of the pipes with a hood to
protect them from the elements.
If the compressor has to be located where the motor will be exposed to
appreciable quantities of water, oil, dirt, acid, or alkaline fumes the motor must be
of special construction to avoid rapid deterioration.
Bolt the unit securely and evenly to a level base, using shims if required.
Allow sufficient space around compressor so that it is accessible from all sides for
maintenance. Mount the unit with pulley side toward the wall, but at least six (6)
inches from it.
Starting:
A. If compressor is shipped without oil in the crankcase, before starting, fill
crankcase to the high level mark on the sight glass with Kellogg-American oil
meeting the following specifications:
For operation in damp or humid conditions, addition of rust inhibitor is
recommended.
B. Turn compressor over a few revolutions by hand to make sure all parts are free
and in running condition.
C. Check the tension of the belts.
D. Remove tools, rags, and other objects from the vicinity of the compressor.
E. Never put hands or tools on the belts of idle units unless the main power is
disconnected and locked.
F. Note directions of arrow on flywheel and be sure the direction of rotation is
correct when machine is started. Correct direction is counter-clockwise when
facing the flywheel. Air should be drawn through the intercooler onto the
cylinders for maximum cooling.
Maintenance

6
To obtain reliable and satisfactory service, this unit requires a consistent preventative
maintenance program. Maintenance schedule pages should be used to aid in keeping
proper records.
General:
1. Check your compressor regularly!
2. Check the entire system for air leakage around fittings, connections, and gaskets,
using soap and water solution.
3. Remove rust and oil soiling.
4. Check fastener tightness by using torque wrench to the corresponding values
within the full operations manual.
Compressor Oil:
-Check oil level every week and top off if necessary. Fill the oil tank with
recommended oil until the sight glass is ¾ full.
Use the Same Brand Oil Every Time, Do Not Mix Oil Types, Weights, or Brands!
-Compressors are filled with Kellogg break-in lubricant. This is an ISO non-
detergent industrial lubricant with rust and oxidation inhibitors specifically
formulated for reciprocating compressors.
-Normal break-in period of Kellogg air compressors is 25 hours. After which, the
compressor oil needs to be drained and replaced with Kellogg Synthetic
Lubricant.
Compressors must run for a 25-hour break-in period, using Kellogg ISO
100 oil.
After 25 hours, thoroughly drain existing oil from crankcase, and replace
with synthetic lubricant.
Run compressor for 200 hours. Thoroughly drain and replace again with
synthetic lubricant.
-For the first 500 hours of compressor operation, a careful and regular check of the
oil level should be made. Maintain full oil level at all times.
-After the first 500 hours the compressor is now ready to run for extended periods
before next lubricant change is required. Maintain full oil level at all times in
between oil changes.
-Frequency Of Oil Changes:
Change oil every 3000 operating hours.

7
For constant run applications in daily use or units subjected to extremely
heavy use, change oil monthly.
Air Filter:
-Check and clean air filter every month, making sure the filter is free from debris
and functioning properly.
-Replace filter element every 1500 hours or every year, whichever occurs first.
Maintenance Intervals:
-Check and record each maintenance task in the table below.
