Page 4: Introduction
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in serious injury to personnel and/or damage to property. Eagle is not stating as fact, nor in any way implying, that the following list of Safety Precautions is an all inclusive list. When it comes to safety, common sense and good work practices will insure safe operation. -
Page 5: Receiving Your Compressor

Page 6: Installing Your Compressor
Noise is a potential health hazard that must be considered. There are Local and Federal laws specifying maximum acceptable noise levels that must not be exceeded. Most of the noise from a reciprocating compressor emanates from the air inlet point and therefore may require a silencer. Methods that can be used to reduce noise to a listener may include, total enclosures, walls, or moving and/or rotating the noise source. -

SYSTEM AND COMPONENTS SELECTION Since Eagle will supply compressor packages in whole or in part, the following section provides information that will be useful to both the installer and the assembler. -
Page 8: Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers
Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers Air-cooled heat exchangers must be sized to provide adequate cooling under the most severe conditions, which probably means providing for an ambient temperature of 40°C. Once the cooler is in place and working, precautions must be taken to prevent restriction of the cooling air flow to and from the cooler and recirculation of the cooling air. -

ADDING OIL A) Sightglass Type Most Eagle compressors are equipped with a round or oval type sightglass oil level gauge. This sightglass gauge is located on the crankcase opposite from the flywheel end of the compressor. • Oil should always be visible in this sightglass, whether the compressor is operating or not. -
Page 10: Air Leaks
• If a detected air leak is potentially dangerous, isolate the area and attend to it immediately. Vibration Vibration is a characteristic of all reciprocating machines. It can be held to a minimum by keeping the compressor securely fastened to a solid level foundation. Isolating vibration pads should only be used with Engineering approval. -
Page 11: Dual Control Operation
Dual Control Operation When electric powered compressors are provided with “Optional” stop/start and constant speed control. • The constant speed control pilot is to be set to unload at a slightly lower pressure than the pressure switch. That is, if your pressure switch is set to cut out at 125 PSIG. then the constant speed control pilot should be set to unload at approximately 120 PSIG. -
Page 12: Oil Recommendations And Specifications
Eagle Compressor Oil is a non-detergent mineral oil formulated with additives to help minimize carbon build-up, increase ring life and reduce oil consumption. Regular oil changes with Eagle Compressor Oil will increase performance and life expectancy. Manufactured for use at ambient temperatures of 0°C. to 30°C. -
Page 13: Ready To Start
Two-stage compressors can deliver up to 200 PSIG, again depending on the model, type of controls and configuration; some two-stage units are rated for 175 PSIG operation. If you do not know the capabilities of your compressor, contact the Eagle distributor nearest you for assistance. -
