COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION
CAUTION
Do not operate without lubricant or with inadequate lubricant.
Ingersoll Rand is not responsible for compressor failure caused
by inadequate lubrication.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT
Ingersoll Rand recommends All Season Select® synthetic lubricant
from startup.
ALTERNATE LUBRICANTS.
You may use XL-300 or a comparable 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
Ingersoll Rand for recommendations.

If you use a petroleum-based compressor lubricant at start-up and
decide to convert to All Season Select later on, the pump must be
decarbonized and flushed before conversion. Contact Ingersoll Rand

FILLING PROCEDURES
1) Unscrew and remove the oil fill plug.
2) Fill the crankcase with lubricant.
3) Replace the oil fill plug HAND TIGHT ONLY.
CAUTION
Do not remove the oil fill plug while the compressor is running.
Use one of the following methods illustrated to determine when the
crankcase is full.
A = Oil fill opening, B = Sight glass, C = Dipstick
Refer to the following table for crankcase capacity.

LOW OIL LEVEL SWITCH
A float activated low oil level switch may be installed to protect your
unit against damage due to insufficient compressor oil level. Low
oil level in the compressor crankcase causes the switch contacts to
open, thus shutting the unit down until the proper oil level has been
restored.
Proper protection against low oil level depends on proper adjustment
of the low oil level switch. During the initial run, stop the unit and
drain one quart of oil from the compressor crankcase into a suitable
clean container. Listen for the switch to click or check the switch with a
continuity tester.
The float sometimes gets cocked or stuck during shipping. If the float
is cocked or stuck, open the disconnect switch, drain the remaining oil,
remove the crankcase cover and then free the float. Reassemble and
then reuse the same oil.
NOTICE
If the float is cocked in the low position, the unit cannot start

START-UP (ELECTRIC MOTOR DRIVEN COMPRESSORS)
1) Close the service valve.
2) Apply power to the compressor. If the pressure switch is
equipped with an "ON/AUTO-OFF" lever, flip the switch to the
"ON/AUTO" position. If the compressor is equipped with a
control panel "ON/OFF" switch, move the switch to the "ON"
position.
3) Slowly open the service valve.
