5.0 RECEIVINg aND INSPECTION
5.1 INSPECTION
Upon receiving your Ingersoll Rand air dryer, please
inspect the unit closely. If rough handling has been
detected, please note it on your delivery receipt, especially
if the dryer will not be uncrated immediately. Obtaining the
delivery person’s signed agreement to any noted damages
will facilitate any insurance claims.
5.2 UNPaCKINg aND HaNDLINg
WaRNINg
Under no circumstances should any person
attempt to lift heavy objects without proper lifting
equipment (i.e., crane, hoist, slings or fork truck).
Lifting any unit without proper lifting equipment,
may cause serious injury.
To facilitate handling during shipment, all dryer packages
have been mounted on a base that provides for forklifting
between two base channels. Forks should extend all the
way through forklift channels to reduce unnecessary forces
to the dryer during moving. Slings can be used to lift the
crates, but spreader bars must be used to prevent the slings
from exerting a force against the sides of the crates or the
dryer.

parts, the same precautions should be observed as with
any piece of machinery of this type where carelessness in

with this type of machinery, safety precautions as listed
below must be observed:
Only qualified personnel shall be permitted to adjust,
perform maintenance or repair this air dryer.
Read all instructions completely before operating
unit.
Pull main electrical disconnect switch and
disconnect any separate control lines, if used, before
attempting to work or perform maintenance on the
unit.

in an operational mode.
Do not attempt to remove any parts without first
relieving the entire air system of pressure.
Do not attempt to remove any part of the
refrigeration system without removing and
containing refrigerant in accordance with the EPA
and local regulations.
Do not operate the dryer at pressures in excess of its
rating.
Do not operate the dryer without guards, shields and
screen in place.
