GENERAL
The compressor is designed and manufactured to operate with relative safety. However,
the responsibility for safe operation rests with those who use and maintain these prod-
ucts. The following safety precautions are offered as a guide, which, if conscientiously
followed, will minimize the possibility of accidents throughout the useful life of this
equipment.
Only those who have read and understand this operator’s manual should operate this air
compressor. Failure to follow the instructions, procedures and safety precautions in this
manual may increase the possibility of accidents and injuries.
Never start this air compressor unless it is safe to do so. Do not attempt to operate the
air compressor with a known unsafe condition. Tag the air compressor and render it
inoperative by disconnecting the battery so others who may not know of the unsafe
condition will not attempt to operate it until the unsafe condition is corrected.
Use and operate this air compressor only in full compliance with all pertinent OSHA
requirements and all pertinent Federal, State and Local codes or requirements.
Do not modify this compressor except with written factory approval. Anyunauthorized
modification automatically voids the factory warranty and may make the unit unsafe.
The operation of engine-powered equipment will always be somewhat dangerous. Do
not consider this section to be complete, but always continue to be alert for hazards.

SAFETY
PARKING OR LOCATING COMPRESSOR
Locate compressor on level areas, if possible. If not, locate compressor across grade, so the
compressor does not tend to roll down hill. Do not locate compressor on grades exceeding
15 degrees (27%).
Make sure compressor is parked or located on a firm surface that can support its weight.
Locate compressor so the wind, if any, tends to carry the engine exhaust fumes and radiator
heat away from the compressor air inlet openings and also where the compressor will not be
exposed to excessive dust from the work site. Muffler side of package must have 12 inches
of clearance so engine-cooling air can escape from the unit without restriction or re-circula-
tion. The topside of the unit at the compressor oil cooling fan must also have 12 inches of
clearance so cooling air can escape from the unit without restriction or re-circulation.
Block or chock both sides of all wheels.
PRESSURE RELEASE
Install the appropriate flow limiting valves between the compressor service air outlet and the
shut-off (throttle) valve. Air hoses exceeding 1/4” inside diameter are to be connected to the
shut-off (throttle) valve to reduce pressure in case of hose or connection failure, per OSHA
Standard 29 CFR 1926.302 (as) (7).
When the hose is to be used to supply a manifold, install an additional appropriate flow
limiting valve between the manifold and each air hose exceeding 1/4” inside the diameter
that is to be connected to the manifold to reduce pressure in case of hose failure.
Provide a flow-limiting valve every 75 feet of hose in runs of air hose exceeding 1/4” inside
diameter to reduce pressure in case of hose failure.
Flow limiting valves are listed by pipe size and rated CFM. Select appropriate valves ac-
cordingly.
Do not use tools that are rated above the maximum relief valve rating of this compressor.
Select tools, air hoses, pipes, valves, filters and fittings accordingly. Do not exceed
manufacturer’s rated safe operating pressures for these items.

5
SAFETY
PRESSURE RELEASE (CONT.)
Secure all hose connections by wire, chain or other suitable retaining devices to prevent
tools or hose ends from being accidentally disconnected and expelled.
Open compressor oil filler cap only when compressor is not running and is not pressurized.
Shut down the compressor and bleed the sump (open service valve) pressure to zero before
removing the oil filler cap.
Vent all internal pressure prior to opening any line, fitting, hose, valve, drain plug, connec-
tion or other components such as filters or line oilier, and before attempting to refill optional
air line anti-ice systems with antifreeze compound.
Keep personnel out of line with and away from the discharge opening of hoses or tools or
other points of compressed air discharge.
Do not use air pressures higher than 30 PSIG (207kPa) for cleaning purposes, and then only
with effective chip guarding and personal protective equipment per OSHA Standard 29 CFR
1910.242 (b).
Do not engage in horseplay with air hoses, as serious injury or death may result.
FIREAND EXPLOSION
Refuel at a service station or from a fuel tank designed for its intended purpose. If this is not
possible, ground the machine to the dispenser prior to refueling.
Immediately clean up any spills or leaking fuel, battery electrolyte, oil or antifreeze solution.
Shut off the air compressor and allow it to cool. Then keep sparks, flames and other sources
of ignition away and do not permit smoking in the vicinity when adding fuel, when checking
or adding electrolyte to batteries, when checking or adding oil, or when refilling air line anti-
ice systems with antifreeze compound.
Do not permit liquids, including air line anti-ice system antifreeze compound or oil film to
accumulate on bottom covers or on, under or around any external or internal surfaces of the air
compressor. Wipe down using an industrial cleaner or steam clean as required. Do not use
flammable solvents for cleaning purposes.

SAFETY
TOXICAND IRRITATING SUBSTANCES (CONT.)
Fuels, oils, coolants, lubricants and battery electrolyte used in this compressor are typical of
the industry. Care should be taken to avoid accidental ingestion and/or skin or eye contact.
In the event of indigestion, seek medical treatment promptly. Do not induce vomiting if fuel
is ingested. Wash with soap and water in the event of skin contact.
Wear an acid resistant apron and a face shield or goggles when servicing the battery. If
electrolyte is spilled on skin or clothing, immediately flush with large quantities of water.
If air line anti-ice system antifreeze compound enters the eyes or if fumes irritate the eyes,
they should be washed with large quantities of clean water for 15 minutes. A physician,
preferably an ophthalmologist, or eye specialist, should be contacted immediately.
The antifreeze compound used in air line anti-ice systems contains methanol and is toxic,
harmful or fatal if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin or eyes and avoid breathing the
fumes. Call a physician immediately.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Keep the compressor or equipment carrier, compressor hoses, tools and all personnel at least
10 feet from power lines and buried cables.
Keep all parts of the body and any hand-held tools or other conductive objects away from
exposed live parts of the electrical system. Maintain dry footing, stand on insulating sur-
faces and do not contact any other portion of the compressor when making adjustments or
repairs to exposed live parts of the electrical system.
Attempt repairs only in clean, dry, well lighted and ventilated areas.

SAFETY
LIFTING
This compressor is provided with a lifting bail for routine lifting, loading onto trucks, etc.
Compressors to be air lifted by helicopter mustnot be supported by the lifting bail, but instead
by slings with appropriate spreader bars. In any event, lift only in full compliance with OSHA
standards 29 CFR 1910 subpart N.
Inspect lifting bail and points of attachment for cracked welds and for cracked, bent, corroded
or otherwise degraded members and for loose bolts or nuts prior to lifting.
Make sure entire lifting, rigging and supporting structure has been inspected, is in good
condition and has a rated capacity of at least the net weight of the compressor plus and addi-
tional 10% allowance for the weight of snow, ice, mud or stored tools and equipment. If you
are unsure of the weight, then weigh the compressor before lifting.
Make sure lifting hook has a functional safety latch, or equivalent, and is fully engaged once
it has been lifted clear of the ground.
Do not attempt to lift in high winds.
Keep all personnel out from under and away from the compressor when suspended.
Lift compressor slowly and smoothly, without jerking.
Lift compressor no higher than necessary.
Keep lift operators in constant attendance whenever compressor is suspended.

SAFETY
JUMP STARTING
Observe all safety precautions mentioned elsewhere in this manual.
Batteries may contain and/or generate gases that are flammable and explosive. Keep flames,
sparks and other sources of ignition away.
Batteries contain acid that is corrosive. Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes, fabrics, or
painted surfaces, as serious personal injury or property damage may result. Flush any con-
tacted areas thoroughly with water immediately. Wear an acid resistant apron and face shield
when attempting to jump-start the compressor.
*Remove all vent caps from the battery in the compressor. Do not permit dirt or
foreign matter to enter the open cells. Do not attempt to open sealed
maintenance-free batteries.
*Check fluid level. If low, bring fluid to proper level before attempting to jump-start.
Do not attempt to jump-start if fluid is frozen or slushy. Bring batteries up to at least 40
degrees F (5 degrees C) before attempting to jump-start.
*Cover open cells of all compressor batteries with clean dampened cloths before
attempting to jump-start.
Attempt to jump-start only with a vehicle with a negative ground electrical system with the
same voltage and which is equipped with a battery of comparable size or larger than supplied
with the compressor. Do not attempt to jump-start by using motor generator sets, welders, or
other sources of DC power, as serious damage may result.
Bring the starting vehicle alongside the compressor, but do not permit metal-to-metal contact
between the compressor and the starting vehicle.
Set the parking brakes of the starting vehicle, chock compressor wheels and stabilizer legs
on both sides.
Place the starting vehicle in neutral or park, turn off all nonessential accessory electrical loads
and start its engine.
* The use of maintenance-free batteries may eliminate this step.

12
SAFETY
JUMP STARTING (CONT.)
Use only jumper cables that are clean, in good condition, and are heavy enough to handle the
starting current.
Avoid accidental contact between jumper cable terminal clips or clamps and each other or
any metallic portion of either the compressor or the starting vehicle to minimize the possibil-
ity of uncontrolled arcing, which might serve as a source of ignition.
Positive battery terminals are usually identified by a plus (+) sign on the terminal and the
letters POS adjacent to the terminal. Negative battery terminals are usually identified by a
minus (-) sign on the terminal and the letters NEG adjacent to the terminal.
Connect one end of a jumper cable to the positive POS (+) battery terminal in the starting
vehicle. Connect its other end to the POS(+) battery terminal of the compressor.
Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the grounded negative (NEG) terminal of
the battery in the starting vehicle.
Connect the other end of this same jumper cable to a clean portion of the compressor
engine block away from fuel lines, the crank case breather opening, and the battery.
Check your connections. Do not apply 24V to a 12V system in the compressor.
Start the compressor in accordance with normal procedure. Avoid prolonged cranking.
Allow the compressor to warm-up. When the compressor is warm and operating smoothly at
normal ideal RPM, disconnect the jumper cable from the engine block on the compressor, then
disconnect the other end of this same cable from the grounded negative (NEG) terminal of the
battery in the starting vehicle. Then disconnect the other jumper cable from the positive (POS)
(+) terminal of the battery in the compressor, and finally, disconnect the other end of this same
jumper cable from the positive (POS) (+) terminal of the battery in the starting vehicle.

DESCRIPTIONOFCOMPONENTS
POWER UNIT
The power unit used to drive the compressor is a gasoline engine that has been carefully
selected for its ability to provide an efficient and reliable source of power. For detailed
information on the power unit, refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual provided separately.
COMPRESSORASSEMBLY
TheAC70 compressor assembly is a positive displacement, oil flooded, rotary screw type unit
employing one stage of compression to achieve the desired pressure. Components include a
housing (stator) two screws (rotors), bearings and bearing supports. The power source drives
the male rotor through the inlet housing. The male rotor drives the female rotor.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
In operation, two helical grooved rotors mesh to compress air. Inlet air is trapped as the male
lobes roll down the female grooves, pushing trapped air along, compressing it until it
reaches the discharge port in the end of the stator and delivers smooth-flowing, pulse-free air
to the receiver.
During the compression cycle, oil is injected into the compressor and serves these purposes:
1. Lubricates the rotating parts and bearings.
2. Serves as a cooling agent for the compressed air.
3. Seals the running clearances.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Oil from the compressor oil sump, at compressor discharge pressure, is directed through the
oil cooling system, then the oil filter, and back to the compressor stator, where it is injected
into the compressor. At the same time oil is directed to the bearings and shaft seal of the
compressor. The oil-laden air is then discharged back into the sump. SeeAir/Oil Schematic in
the illustration section.

17
DESCRIPTIONOFCOMPONENTS
OIL SUMP
Compressed, oil-laden air enters the sump from the compressor. Most of the oil is separated
from the air as it passes through a series of baffles and defusing plates. The oil accumulates
at the bottom of the sump for re-circulation. Some small droplets of oil remain suspended in
the air and are passed on to the coalescer. See Discharge System in the illustration section.
SAFETY VALVE
The pop safety valve is set at 175 PSI and is located at the top of the air/oil sump. This
valve acts as a backup to protect the system from excessive pressure that might result from a
malfunction. See Discharge System in the illustration section.
OIL RETURN LINE
The oil that is removed by the coalescer accumulates at the bottom of the can and is returned
through an oil return line leading to the compressor. The oil return line also contains an
orifice and check valve located at the compressor in the elbow hose fitting. See Air/Oil
Schematic and Compressor Mounting System in the illustration section.
AIR/OIL COALESCER
The coalescer is self-contained within a spin-on housing and is separate of the sump. When
air is demanded at the service line, it passes through the coalescer, which efficiently provides
the final stage of oil separation. See Discharge System in the illustration section.
MINIMUMPRESSUREVALVE
The minimum pressure valve is located at the outlet of the coalescer head and serves to main-
tain a minimum discharge pressure of 55 PSIG in operation, which is required to assure ad-
equate compressor lubrication pressure, and air/oil separation at the coalescer element. See
Discharge System in the illustration section.
OIL FILTER
The compressor oil filter is a full-flow replaceable element type and has a safety by-pass built
into it. This element screws directly to the compressor stator housing. See Compressor
Mounting System in the illustration section.

18
DESCRIPTIONOFCOMPONENTS
COMPRESSOR COOLING SYSTEM
The compressor cooling system consists of an oil cooler, electric fan and motor. See Cooler
and Parts System in the illustration section.
An automated thermostatic control system maintains a continuous temperature check of the
lubricant. The fan sensor trips a normally open relay which sends power to the fan motor
once compressor oil temperature reaches 190°F. The fan sensor stops power to the fan
motor once the compressor oils temperature drops to 160°F.
INSTRUMENT PANELAND OPERATING CONTROLS
The instrument panel contains all the necessary gauges and instruments for operation and is
located outside of the main enclosure The following is an explanation of their use. See
Electrical System & Wiring Diagram in the illustration section.
1. Start (key)
The starter switch is used to electrically energize the engine starter motor solenoid to
begin cranking of engine.
2. Choke (Gasoline Engine Only)
The choke is used to provide a richer fuel mixture to the engine for cold starts. Pull-
ing the choke cable out increases the fuel mixture. As the engine warms up, the
choke should be pushed inward. The engine should operate without choking as soon
as possible after starting, to avoid flooding or dilution of lubricating oil.
3. Hourmeter
The hourmeter records the total number of operating hours. It serves as a guide
towards following the recommended inspection and maintenance schedule.
4. Pressure Meter
The pressure meter displays compressor discharge air pressure. This meter also has a
shutdown feature and will shutdown the engine if the discharge air pressure reaches 150
psi.
5. TemperatureMeter
The temperature meter displays compressor discharge air temperature. This meter also
has a shutdown feature and will shutdown the engine if the discharge air reaches 250°F.

19
DESCRIPTIONOFCOMPONENTS
Note:-
If the compressor shutsdown on high discharge air pressure or high discharge air
temperature, find and fix the problem before restarting.
CONTROL SYSTEM
The prime components of the compressor control system include the compressor inlet valve
and an air cylinder. The control system is designed to match air supply to air demand and to
prevent excessive discharge pressure when compressed air is not being used. Control of air
delivery is accomplished by the inlet valve regulation as directed by the discharge pressure
regulator.
CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION
The following discussion explains the operation of the control system from a condition of
“no load” to a condition of ‘full capacity” at working pressure. For the working pressure
range of your machine, refer to applicable data in the specification sections.
The pressure Regulator and engine speed regulating cylinder operates as follows:
1. As the demand for air decreases, the receiver pressure rises; and when this pressure
exceeds the set point of the pressure regulator, the regulator opens sending a pressure
signal to the inlet valve, and to the regulating cylinder.
a. The inlet valve disc moves towards the valve inlet against the force of the modu-
lating spring inside the valve. This regulates the opening area of the inlet valve.
b. The regulating cylinder will reduce engine speed somewhere between full load
and compressor idle.
2. If the air demand goes to zero, (service valve closed) the inlet valve will close com-
pletely, and the regulating cylinder will bring the engine to compressor idle.
3. As the demand for air increases, receiver pressure drops slightly below the set point of
the pressure regulator eliminating the signal to the inlet valve and regulator cylinder.
a. Inlet valve disc opens fully.
b. Regulating cylinder retracts allowing the engine governor spring to bring the
engine and compressor up to its high rpm.
