This document serves as an owner's manual and parts list for Reciprocating Air Compressors, specifically the Engine Driven Wheelbarrow models SS3 and SS5. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance, along with troubleshooting guidance and a detailed list of parts and accessories.
The Reciprocating Air Compressors, models SS3 and SS5, are designed to generate compressed air for a variety of air tools. These are engine-driven units, indicating they operate independently of an electrical power source, making them suitable for mobile or remote applications. The compressors are capable of continuous duty operation, with the duration depending on the type of lubricant used: 100% continuous duty with Ingersoll Rand synthetic lubricant, and 60% continuous duty (maximum 36 minutes of pumping per hour, not exceeding 10 cycles per hour) with petroleum lubricant. The core function involves a compressor pump that draws in ambient air, compresses it, and stores it in a receiver tank for later use. The engine provides the power to drive the compressor pump.
The manual outlines a clear and safe operational procedure for these air compressors. Installation:
The manual provides a structured maintenance schedule and specific procedures to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the compressor. General Maintenance:
