WARNING
Electrical installation and service must be performed by a
qualified electrician who is familiar with all applicable electrical
codes.
GENERAL. The motor rating, as shown on the motor nameplate, and
the power supply must have compatible voltage, phase and hertz
characteristics.
WIRE SIZE. The electrical wiring between the power supply and
electric motor varies according to motor horsepower and other
factors. Install adequately sized power leads to protect against
excessive voltage drop during start-up. Refer to the applicable electric
codes in your area for information on selecting the proper wire
size and securing electrical connections. If you connect additional
electrical equipment to the same circuit, consider the total electrical
load when selecting the proper wire size. DO NOT USE UNDERSIZE A – To/from motor (factory connection)

installation. Ingersoll Rand cannot accept responsibility for damages
arising from failure to provide adequate motor protection.
FUSES. Refer to applicable local codes to determine the proper fuse
or circuit breaker rating required. When selecting fuses, remember the
momentary starting current of an electric motor is greater than its full
load current. Time delay or “slow-blow” fuses are recommended.

COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION

Do not operate without lubricant or with inadequate lubricant.
Ingersoll Rand is not responsible for compressor failure caused
by inadequate lubrication.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT
Ingersoll Rand recommends All Season Select® synthetic lubricant
from startup.
B
ALTERNATE LUBRICANTS.
You may use XL-300 or a comparable petroleum-based lubricant that
is premium quality, does not contain detergents, contains only anti-
rust, anti-oxidation, and anti-foam agents as additives, has a flashpoint
of 440°F (227°C) or higher, and has an auto-ignition point of 650°F
(343°C) or higher
See the petroleum lubricant viscosity table below. The table is
intended as a general guide only. Heavy duty operating conditions
require heavier viscosities. Refer specific operating conditions to

If you use a petroleum-based compressor lubricant at start-up and

decide to convert to All Season Select later on, the pump must be
decarbonized and flushed before conversion. Contact Ingersoll Rand
for more information
FILLING PROCEDURES
1) Unscrew and remove the oil fill plug.
2) Fill the crankcase with lubricant.
3) Replace the oil fill plug HAND TIGHT ONLY.

CAUTION
Do not remove the oil fill plug while the compressor is running.
Use one of the following methods illustrated to determine when the
crankcase is full.
3) Connect the battery positive (+) cable (A) to the battery positive

Switch is Pre-set at the required pressures and the range and
differential settings ARE NOT adjustable. These Pressure Switches
should not be tampered with in any way and no attempt should be
made to adjust the pressure settings as this could damage the Switch
to the point of failure and/or void any warranty for the Pressure
Switches.
NOTICE
Some pressure switches are equipped with an on-off lever used
to open and close the electrical contacts inside the switch.
THIS LEVER IS NOT A DIFFERENTIAL ADJUSTMENT CONTROL.
The pressure switches with the on-off lever do not have a
differential adjustment control.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES (ADJUSTABLE SWITCHES):

1. Remove the pressure switch cover.
2. Set the cut-in pressure with the range adjustment nut. Turn the nut
clockwise (in) to increase the pressure or counter-clockwise (out) to
decrease the pressure.
NOTICE
One full turn changes the setting approximately 2 PSIG.
3. Set the cut-out pressure with the differential adjustment. Turn the
differential adjustment nut clockwise (in) to increase the pressure or
counter-clockwise (out) to decrease the pressure.
NOTICE
One full turn changes the setting approximately 2 PSIG.
4. Replace the cover, reconnect the power supply and start the unit.
5. Note the pressure gauge reading at which the unit cuts out.
6. Repeat the adjustment procedure if necessary.
The minimum possible differential is approximately 20% of cutout
pressure. It is advisable to have as wide a differential as possible to
avoid frequent starting and stopping of the unit. Note the pressure
gauge reading at which the unit cuts-out and re-establish this point if
necessary.
Note the interaction between the range and differential adjustments,
i.e., if the cut-out is increased, the differential will also increase,
or if the differential is narrowed, the cut-out will be reduced, etc.
These factors must be considered when adjusting the switch and
compensated for accordingly.

 OIL CONSUMPTION CHECK
Position of weight and thrust pin when unit is stopped.
A rule of thumb in determining a “passing grade” for oil consumption
is to consider consumption at or above 50 horsepower-hours per
ounce to be acceptable.
The formula is as follows:

Horsepower X Hours of Operation Horsepower Hours per

=
Ounces of Oil Used Ounce
To apply this formula, consider the size of the machine. In the
following example, a 5 horsepower compressor uses 2 ounces of oil
every 20 hours of operation.
5 Horsepower X 20 Hours of Operation 50 Horsepower
=
2 Ounces of Oil Used Hours per Ounce
The compressor in the example passes the oil consumption test.

New or rebuilt compressor pumps will discharge higher

 To clean the filter screen, perform the following steps:
1. Close the strainer ball valve completely to isolate it from the air
receiver tank.
2. Press the TEST button on the timer to vent the pressure remaining in
the valve. Repeat until all pressure is removed.
CAUTION
High pressure air can cause injury from flying debris. Ensure the
strainer ball valve is completely closed and pressure is released
from the valve prior to cleaning.
3. Remove the plug from the strainer with a suitable wrench. If you
hear air escaping from the cleaning port, STOP IMMEDIATELY and
repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Remove the stainless steel filter screen and clean it. Remove any
debris that may be in the strainer body before replacing the filter
screen.
5. Replace plug and tighten with wrench.

TANK INSPECTION
The life of an air receiver tank is dependent upon several factors
including, but not limited to, operating conditions, ambient
environments, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of these
factors on tank life is difficult to predict; therefore, Ingersoll Rand
recommends that you schedule a certified tank inspection within the
first five years of compressor service. To arrange a tank inspection,
contact Ingersoll Rand.
If the tank has not been inspected within the first 10 years of
compressor service, the receiver must be taken out of service until it
has passed inspection. Tanks that fail to meet requirements must be
replaced.
WARNING
Failure to replace a rusted air receiver tank could result in
air receiver tank rupture or explosion, which could cause
substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Never modify or repair tank. Obtain replacement from service
center.
