Operating & Maintenance Manual Operating Instructions

Set-Up
Place the unit in an open, well-ventilated area. Position as level as possible. The design of
these units permits a maximum 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.
Chock wheels or set parking brake.
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.
