Operating Instructions
Commissioning
Upon receipt of the unit, and prior to putting it into service, it is important to adhere strictly to
the instructions given below in PRIOR TO STARTING.
Ensure that the operator reads and understands the decals and consults the manuals before
maintenance or operation.
Ensure that the position of the emergency stop device is known and recognized by its
markings. Ensure that it is functioning correctly and that the method of operation is known.
Before towing the unit, ensure that the tyre pressures are correct (refer to the GENERAL
DATA SECTION of this manual). Before towing the unit, ensure that the lights are functioning
correctly (where fitted).
Ensure that all transport and packing materials are discarded.
Ensure that the correct fork lift truck slots or marked lifting / tie down points are used whenever
the machine is lifted or transported.
When selecting the working position of the machine ensure that there is sufficient clearance
for ventilation and exhaust requirements.
Adequate clearance needs to be allowed around and above the machine to permit safe access
for specified maintenance tasks.
Ensure that the machine is positioned securely and on a stable foundation. Any risk of
movement should be removed by suitable means, especially to avoid strain on any rigid
discharge piping.
Compressor Mounting
Portable compressors, which are modified to remove the running gear and mount the machine
direct to trailers, truck beds or frame, etc. may experience failure of the enclosure, frame, and/
or other components. It is necessary to isolate the compressor package from the carrier base
with a flexible mounting system. Such a system must also prevent detachment of the package
from the carrier base in the event the isolators fail. Contact Ingersoll-Rand representative for
flexible mounting kits.
Warranty does not cover failures attributable to mounting of the compressor package to the
carrier base unless it is an Ingersoll-Rand provided system.
Attach the battery cables to the battery(s) ensuring that they are tightened securely. Attach the
positive cable before attaching the negative cable.
