MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATION:
Some Ingersoll--Rand Company non--road engines
are certified by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency and California Air Resource Board
to comply with smoke and gaseous emission stan-
dards prescribed by Federal laws at the time of
manufacture.
The engine is certified if it has a special certification
label. An INGERSOLL--RAND Dealer can also inform
you if the engine is certified.
Efficiency of emission control and engine perfor-
mance depends on adherence to proper operation
and maintenance recommendations and use of rec-
ommended fuels and lubrication oils. It is recom-
mended that major adjustments and repair be made
by your authorized INGERSOLL--RAND Dealer.
Various chemical fuel additives, which claim to reduce
visible smoke, are available commercially. Although
additives have been used by individuals to solve
some isolated smoke problems in the field, they are
not recommended for general use.
Federal smoke regulations require that engines be
certified without smoke depressants.
The corrective steps taken immediately on discovery
of worn parts, which may affect emission levels, will
help assure proper operation of emission control sys-
tems. The use of genuine INGERSOLL--RAND parts
is recommended. Suppliers of non--INGERSOLL--
RAND parts must assure the owner that the use of
such parts will not adversely affect emission levels.
Regular maintenance intervals, along with special
emphasis on the following items, are necessary to
keep exhaust emissions within acceptable limits for
the useful life of the engine. Refer to the Maintenance
Section of this manual. If the engine is operating un-
der severe conditions, adjust the maintenance sched-
ule accordingly. See your authorized INGERSOLL--
RAND Dealer to help analyze your specific applica-
tion, operating environment and maintenance sched-
ule adjustments.
The following is an explanation of maintenance for
emission--related components.
See the Maintenance Schedule for the specific inter-
val for the following items.
FUEL INJECTION PUMPS OR NOZZLES – Fuel in-
jection pumps or nozzles are subject to tip wear as a
result to fuel contamination. This damage can cause
an increase in fuel consumption, the engine to emit
black smoke, misfire or run rough. Inspect, test and
replace if necessary. Fuel injection pumps can be
tested by an authorized INGERSOLL--RAND Dealer.
TURBOCHARGER – Check for any unusual sound or
vibration in the turbocharger. Inspect inlet and ex-
haust piping and connections. Check bearing condi-
tion and perform maintenance as described in the
Maintenance Schedule.
Slow engine response and low power may indicate a
need for adjustment or repair. Your INGERSOLL--
RAND Dealer is equipped with the necessary tools,
personnel, and procedures to perform this service.
Owner is encouraged to keep adequate maintenance
records, but the absence of such, in and of itself, will
not invalidate the warranty.
The machine or equipment owner may perform rou-
tine maintenance, repairs and other non--warranty
work or have it done at any repair facility. Such non--
warranty work need not e performed at a designated
warranty station in order for the warranty to remain in
force.
