Operating & Maintenance Manual Operating Instructions Operating Instructions Operating Controls and Instruments The operating controls and instruments are arranged on the control panel as shown above. A description of each panel device is as follows: 1. Compressor Discharge Pressure Gauge: Indicates pressure in receiver tank, normally from 0 psi (kPa) to the rated pressure of the machine.
Operating Instructions Operating & Maintenance Manual 7. Hourmeter: Records running time for maintenance purposes. 8. Voltmeter: Indicates battery condition. 9. Engine Water Temperature Gauge: Indicates coolant temperature, with normal operating range from 180°F/82°C to 210°F/99°C. 10. Power Switch: Flip ““ON” to operate, “OFF” to stop. 11.
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.
