  • Page 5 SAFETY PARKING OR LOCATING COMPRESSOR Locate compressor on level areas, if possible. If not, locate compressor across grade, so the compressor does not tend to roll down hill. Do not locate compressor on grades exceeding 15 degrees (27%). Make sure compressor is parked or located on a firm surface that can support its weight. Locate compressor so the wind, if any, tends to carry the engine exhaust fumes and radiator heat away from the compressor air inlet openings and also where the compressor will not be exposed to excessive dust from the work site.
  • Page 6 SAFETY PRESSURE RELEASE (CONT.) Secure all hose connections by wire, chain or other suitable retaining devices to prevent tools or hose ends from being accidentally disconnected and expelled. Open compressor oil filler cap only when compressor is not running and is not pressurized. Shut down the compressor and bleed the sump (open service valve) pressure to zero before removing the oil filler cap.
  • Page 7 SAFETY FIRE AND EXPLOSION (CONT.) Disconnect the ground (negative) battery connection prior to attempting any repairs or clean- ing inside the enclosure. Tag the battery connection so others will not unexpectedly recon- nect it. Keep electrical wiring, including the battery terminals and other terminals, in good condi- tion.
  • Page 8 SAFETY FIRE AND EXPLOSION (CONT.) Antifreeze compound used in air line anti-ice systems contains methanol, which is flammable. Use systems and refill with compound only in well-ventilated areas away from heat, open flames, or sparks. Do not expose any part of these systems or the antifreeze compound to temperatures above 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).
  • Page 9 SAFETY HOT SURFACES, SHARP EDGES AND SHARP CORNERS, INTAKE VACUUM Avoid bodily contact with hot oil, hot coolant, hot surfaces and sharp edges and corners. Keep all parts of the body away from all points of air discharge and away from hot exhaust gases.
  • Page 10 SAFETY TOXIC AND IRRITATING SUBSTANCES (CONT.) Fuels, oils, coolants, lubricants and battery electrolyte used in this compressor are typical of the industry. Care should be taken to avoid accidental ingestion and/or skin or eye contact. In the event of indigestion, seek medical treatment promptly. Do not induce vomiting if fuel is ingested.
  • Page 11 SAFETY LIFTING This compressor is provided with a lifting bail for routine lifting, loading onto trucks, etc. Compressors to be air lifted by helicopter must not be supported by the lifting bail, but instead by slings with appropriate spreader bars. In any event, lift only in full compliance with OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910 subpart N.
  • Page 12 SAFETY JUMP STARTING Observe all safety precautions mentioned elsewhere in this manual. Batteries may contain and/or generate gases that are flammable and explosive. Keep flames, sparks and other sources of ignition away. Batteries contain acid that is corrosive. Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes, fabrics, or painted surfaces, as serious personal injury or property damage may result.
  • Page 13 SAFETY JUMP STARTING (CONT.) Use only jumper cables that are clean, in good condition, and are heavy enough to handle the starting current. Avoid accidental contact between jumper cable terminal clips or clamps and each other or any metallic portion of either the compressor or the starting vehicle to minimize the possibil- ity of uncontrolled arcing, which might serve as a source of ignition.

  • Page 17: Description Of Components

    DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS POWER UNIT The power unit used to drive the compressor is a gasoline engine that has been carefully selected for its ability to provide an efficient and reliable source of power. For detailed information on the power unit, refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual provided separately. COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY The AC70 compressor assembly is a positive displacement, oil flooded, rotary screw type unit employing one stage of compression to achieve the desired pressure.
  • Page 18 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS OIL SUMP Compressed, oil-laden air enters the sump from the compressor. Most of the oil is separated from the air as it passes through a series of baffles and defusing plates. The oil accumulates at the bottom of the sump for re-circulation. Some small droplets of oil remain suspended in the air and are passed on to the coalescer.
  • Page 19 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS COMPRESSOR COOLING SYSTEM The compressor cooling system consists of an oil cooler, electric fan and motor. See Cooler and Parts System in the illustration section. An automated thermostatic control system maintains a continuous temperature check of the lubricant.
  • Page 20 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS Note:- or high discharge air If the compressor shutsdown on high discharge air pressure temperature, find and fix the problem before restarting. CONTROL SYSTEM The prime components of the compressor control system include the compressor inlet valve and an air cylinder.
  • Page 21 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS INLET VALVE The compressor inlet valve is a piston operated disc valve that has a dual function of regulat- ing the inlet opening to control capacity and serving as a check valve at shutdown. DISCHARGE PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE This valve is used to select the desired discharge pressure within the operating pressure range.
  • Page 22 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS ELECTRICAL AND PROTECTIVE CIRCUIT SYSTEM The compressor electrical system is a 12-volt negative ground type. It is equipped with a protective circuit to minimize damage which could be caused by high compressor discharge temperature, or high discharge pressure. See wiring diagram and electrical system in the illustrations section.
  • Page 23: Compressor Operation

    COMPRESSOR OPERATION GENERAL Every AC70 compressor has been operated and tested at the factory before shipment. This testing assures that the unit is operating properly and that the compressor will deliver its rated capacity. Regardless of the care taken at the factory, there still exists a possibility that damage may occur during shipment.
  • Page 24 COMPRESSOR OPERATION NORMAL STARTING - GASOLINE ENGINE 1. Inspect the compressor, engine, and other assemblies for loose connections or damage that might have occurred since the last operation. 2. Check engine oil and fluid levels. 3. Check compressor oil sump level. 4.
  • Page 25 COMPRESSOR OPERATION HOT WEATHER OPERATION Keep the engine filled with clean oil and check the oil level more frequently than usual. Keep the outside of the compressor oil cooler clean. Locate the unit in a well-ventilated area. When operating in humid conditions, it is recommended that the compressor oil change interval be shortened.
  • Page 26 COMPRESSOR OPERATION While MMD EQUIPMENT has built into its compressor several controls and indicators to assure you that it is running properly, you will want to recognize and interpret the readings which will call for service or indicate the beginning of a malfunction. Before starting the compressor, read this section thoroughly.
  • Page 27: Compressor Operation

    COMPRESSOR OPERATION OPERATING CONDITIONS The following conditions should exist for maximum performance of the compressor. The compressor should be as close to level as possible when operating. The compressor will operate on a 15-degree sideward, lengthwise tilt without any adverse problems. Fluid carryover and oil starvation may occur if operated beyond this tilt.
