WARNING
Do not climb on top of unit. The lifting eye can be
reached through the roof door ONLY from INSIDE
of the unit.
BEFORE TOWING
When lifting or lowering drawbar, always grasp
drawbar firmly and stand to one side.
Ensure that the tires, wheels and running gear are in
good condition and secure.
Units equipped with hydraulic brakes:
S
Check brake fluid level. Top off as required with DOT
3 brake fluid.
S
Check condition of brake lines, hoses and cables.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
S
Attach brake actuator breakaway chain above hitch
on towing vehicle.
Units equipped with electric brakes:
Start by making sure the trailer brakes are properly
adjusted (see adjustment procedure). Vehicles towing
units with electric brakes should be equipped with the
Ingersoll--Rand Electric Brake Kit P/N 36088799. If
tow vehicle is already equipped with an electric brake
controller, check operation of the brakes before
towing. Attach brake breakaway cable to hitch on
towing vehicle.
TOWING
Steerable Axle Units --
Do not tow this unit in excess
of 20mph (32km/hr).
Use a tow vehicle whose towing capacity is greater
than the gross weight of this unit.
Tandem Axle Units --
These units are designed to be
highway towable. Do NOT exceed 65 mph towing
speed.
SET -- UP
Place the unit in an open, well--ventilated area.
Position as level as possible. The design of these units
permits a 15 degree sidewise limit on out--of--level
operation.
When the unit is to be operated out--of--level it is
important:
(1) To keep the engine crankcase oil level near the high
level mark (with the unit level),
(2) To have the compressor oil level gauge show no
more than mid--scale.
Do not overfill the engine crankcase or the
compressor.
Compressor Mounting
Portable compressors, which are modified to remove
the running gear and mount the machine direct to
trailers, truck beds or frames, etc. may experience
failure of the enclosure, frame, and/or other
components. 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.
Warranty does not cover failures attributable to
mounting of the compressor package to the carrier
base unless it is an Ingersoll--Rand provided system.
DISCONNECT
Engage parking brakes and chock wheels of both tow
vehicle and compressor.
Stand aside while:
S
Withdraw pin, swing jack down and fully insert pin to
lock in down position.
S
Disconnect safety chains from tow vehicle.
S
Disconnect brake actuator chain from tow vehicle.
S
If so equipped, disconnect running light plug from the
tow vehicle.
S
Operate drawbar jack to raise pintle eye from hitch
of tow vehicle.
CAUTION
Whenever the machine is stopped, air will flow
back into the compressor system from devices or
systems downstream of the machine unless the
service valve is closed. Install a check valve at the
machine service valve to prevent reverse flow in
the event of an unexpected shutdown when the
service valve is open.
