Compressor Lubrication - Ingersoll-Rand P1.5IU-A9 Owner's Manual

EXTENSION CORDS - It is preferable to use extra air hose instead
of an extension cord to avoid voltage drop and power loss to the
motor, and to prevent overheating. If an extension cord must be
used, ensure it meets the following criteria:
• Three wire cord with a three blade grounding plug, and a three
slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the unit.
• Good condition.
• No longer than 50 feet.
• 12 gauge or larger.
NOTE - Wire size increases as gauge number decreases. For example,
10 AWG and 8 AWG wire is acceptable, whereas 14 or 16 AWG are
NOT acceptable.
„ COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION
Do not operate without lubricant or with inadequate
lubricant. Ingersoll Rand is not responsible for compressor
failure caused by inadequate lubrication.
SYNTHETIC LUBRICANT - We recommend All Season Select
synthetic compressor lubricant from start-up. See the WARRANTY
section for extended warranty information.
ALTERNATE LUBRICANTS - You may use a petroleum-based
lubricant that is premium quality, does not contain detergents,
contains only anti-rust, anti-oxidation, and anti-foam agents as
additives, has a flashpoint of 440°F (227°C) or higher, and has an
auto-ignition point of 650°F (343°C) or higher.
See the petroleum lubricant viscosity table below. The table is
intended as a general guide only. Heavy duty operating conditions
require heavier viscosities. Refer specific operating conditions to
your dealer for recommendations.

If you use a petroleum-based compressor lubricant at start-up
and decide to convert to All Season Select synthetic compressor
lubricant later on, the compressor valves must be thoroughly
decarbonized and the crankcase must be flushed before conversion.

COMPRESSOR PUMP FILLING PROCEDURES:
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE - Can cause serious injury or death.
Disconnect power and Lockout/Tagout machine.
1. Unscrew and remove the oil fill plug (A).
2. Slowly fill the crankcase with lubricant until the lubricant
reaches the "full" level of the sight glass as shown. Crankcase
capacity is one (1) pint (0.5 liters).
3. Replace the oil fill plug HAND TIGHT ONLY.
