Because an air dryer is pressurized and contains rotating
parts, the same precautions should be observed as with
any piece of machinery of this type where carelessness in
operation or maintenance could be hazardous to personnel.
In addition to obvious safety rules that should be followed
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.
Do not attempt to service any part while machine is 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

NOTICE
The user of any air dryer manufactured by Ingersoll
Rand, is hereby warned that failure to follow the
above Safety and Operation Precautions may result
in personal injury or equipment damage. However,
Ingersoll Rand does not state as fact, nor does it mean
to imply, that the preceding list of Safety and Operating

6.0 SAFETY AND OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
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 immediately uncrated. 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,
can cause serious injury.
All dryer packages have been mounted on a base which
provides for forklifting between the two base channels to
facilitate handling during shipment. 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.
