Operating Instructions - Ingersoll-Rand 9/215 Operation And Maintenance Manual

PRIOR TO STARTING
1. Place the unit in a position that is as level as possible. The design
of the unit permits a 15 degree lengthways and sideways limit on out
of level operation. It is the engine, not the compressor, that is the limiting
factor.
When the unit has to be operated out of level, it is important to keep
the engine oil level near the high level mark (with the unit level).
CAUTION: Do not overfill either the engine or the compressor with oil.
2. Check the engine lubrication oil in accordance with the operating
instructions in the Engine Operator's Manual.
3. Check the compressor oil level in the sight glass located on the
separator tank.
4. Check the diesel fuel level. A good rule is to top up at the end of each
working day. This prevents condensation from occurring in the tank.
CAUTION: Use only a No. 2–D diesel fuel oil with a minimum octane
number of 45 and a sulphur content not greater than 0,5%.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: When refuelling:–
. switch off the engine.
. do not smoke.
. extinguish all naked lights.
. do not allow the fuel to come into contact with hot surfaces.
. wear personal protective equipment.
5. Check the radiator coolant level (with the unit level).
6. Open the service valve(s) to ensure that all pressure is relieved
from the system. Close the service valve(s).
CAUTION: Do not operate the machine with the canopy/doors in the
open position as this may cause overheating and operators to be
exposed to high noise levels.
7. Check the air restriction indicator(s). Refer to the MAINTENANCE
section of this manual.
8. Close the manual relief valve adjacent to the regulator.
