BEFORE TOWING
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions can cause
severe injury or death.
CAUTION
-- Position the tow vehicle to align its hitch with the
pintle eye or coupler of the compressor.
-- Engage the parking brake and chock the wheels of
the tow vehicle.
-- Stand to the side and ensure pin is FULLY inserted
(secure) in tube of jack. Crank jack to seat pintle eye
or coupler onto hitch. Latch and lock hitch. Cross
safety chain(s) under drawbar. Attach to vehicle.
-- Crank jack to raise pad off the ground. Pull pin from
tube of jack. Fold jack handle down and forward.
Swing up jack tube and FULLY insert pin in tube.
Units equipped with hydraulic brakes:
-- Check brake fluid level. Top off as required with DOT
3 brake fluid.
-- Check condition of brake lines, hoses and cables.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
-- Attach brake actuator break--a--way chain above
hitch or towing vehicle.
SETTING -- UP
•
Place the unit in an open, well--ventilated area.
Position as level as possible. The design of these units
permits a 15 degree 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), and (2) to
have the compressor oil level gauge show no more
than mid--scale (with the unit running at full load). Do
not overfill either the engine crankcase or the
compressor lubricating oil system.
COMPRESSOR MOUNTING
Portable compressors, which are modified to remove
the running gear and mount the machine direct to trail-
ers, 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 isola-
tors fail. Contact Ingersoll--Rand representative for
flexible mounting kits.
Warranty does not cover failures attributable to mount-
ing of the compressor package to the carrier base un-
less it is an Ingersoll--Rand provided system.
TOWING
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions can cause
severe injury or death.
-- Ensure that tires, wheels and running gear are in
good condition and secure.
-- Ensure that tires are inflated to 75 psi (520kPa).
-- Do not tow this unit in excess of 50 mph (80 km/hr).
-- Use a tow vehicle whose towing capacity is greater
than the gross weight of this unit.
DISCONNECT
-- Set the vehicle parking brake. Chock wheels of unit.
-- Standing to the side, remove pin from tube of jack.
As jack tube swings down, FULLY insert pin in the
tube.
-- Disconnect safety chains. Crank jack to raise eye or
coupler from hitch. Tow vehicle can be moved.
BEFORE STARTING
CAUTION
Do not connect the air discharge on this unit into a
common header with any other unit of any description,
or any other source of compressed air, without first
making sure a check valve is used between the header
and the unit. If this unit is connected in parallel with
another unit of higher discharge pressure and
capacity, a safety hazard could occur in a back--flow
condition.
WARNING
Unrestricted air flow from a hose will result in a
whipping motion of the hose which can cause
severe injury or death. A safety device must be
attached to the hose at the source of supply to
reduce pressure in case of hose failure or other
sudden pressure release. Reference: OSHA
regulation 29 CFR Section 1926.302 (b)
