GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION ______________ _
This manual provides safe and reliable instructions for the
installation, operation and maintenance of your Ingersoll-Rand air
compressor. Carefully read this manual before attempting to
operate or perform any maintenance. If you are uncertain about any
Ingersoll-Rand Company
Printed in U.SA
of the instructions or procedures provided in this manual, contact
Ingersoll-Rand. We recommend you retain this manual, and all
publications provided with your air compressor, in a location which
is accessible to all personnel who operate and service your
compressed air equipment.
APPLICATION _______________ _
Ingersoll-Rand's standard two-stage lubricated air compressors are
single-acting, air-cooled machines. Typical compressors are
furnished as compact, self-contained, air receiver tank mounted
units that are automatically regulated and driven by an electric
motor or gasoline engine. An air-cooled aftercooler, low oil level
shutdown switch and automatic drain valve are among the optional
accessories that can be furnished. Bare compressor pumps and
baseplate-mounted units are also available.
These compressors may be used for a variety of compressed air
application up to 250 PSIG (17.5 kg/cm2). Application of these
compressors as either a primary or supplementary source of air is
virtually unlimited in industrial plants, service stations and auto
repair shops. Supplementary service includes such uses as
furnishing air at pressure not carried in regular shop lines, air at
isolated locations, and stand by service for air when larger
compressors are shut down.
TWO-STAGE OPERATION ___________ _
Two-stage compressors consist of one or two first-stage cylinders
with the same bore size and one second-stage cylinder with a
smaller bore size.
Typica/ Two-Stage, Two
Cylinder Unit
Typical Two-Stage, Three
Cylinder Unit
The basic principle of operation is as follows: On the suction stroke
of the first-stage piston(s), air at atmospheric pressure enters the
cylinders through the inlet filter(s) and then the inlet valves located
in the head. On the compression stroke of the first-stage piston(s),
the air is compressed to an intermediate pressure and discharged
through the discharge valves(s) into common manifold(s). From the
manifold(s) the air passes through the intercooler tubes, where the
heat of first-stage compression is removed. On the suction stroke of
the second-stage piston this cooled air enters the second-stage
cylinder through the inlet valve. The compression stroke of the
second-stage piston compresses the air to the final discharge
pressure and forces it out through the discharge valve into the
receiver tank or system. If cooling of the discharge air is required,
Form SCD-838A
August 2001
an air-cooled aftercooler should be installed between the
compressor discharge and the receiver tank or system.
For maintaining the receiver tank or system air pressure within
predetermined limits, the compressor may be operated with
automatic start & stop control or constant speed control regulation.
The type of regulation used depends upon the application.
ADDITIONAL REFERENCES _________ _
Unless otherwise stated, dimensions, weights and measurements
are provided in standard U.S. measure followed in parentheses by
the metric conversion. Any torque values given are stated in inch or
foot pounds followed by the Newton-meter equivalent in
parentheses. Electrical characteristics are given in
voltage-phase-hertz.
RECEIPT & INSPECTION
Ensure adequate lifting equipment is available for unloading and
moving the unit to the installation site.
NOTE Lifting equipment must be properly rated for the
weight of the unit.
& CAUTION Lift the unit by the shipping skid only. Do not use
the motor lifting eye to lift the entire unit. The motor
lifting eye is for removing the motor from the unit
only.
& CAUTION! Do not work on or walk under the unit while it is
suspended.
Use suitable lifting equipment (i.e. forklift) to lift and transport the
unit to the installation site. Ensure the lifting equipment, straps,
etc. are capable of supporting the weight of the unit.
Before signing the delivery receipt, inspect for damage and missing
parts. If damage or missing parts are apparent, make the
appropriate notation on the delivery receipt, then sign the receipt.
Immediately contact the carrier for an inspection.
All material must be held in the receiving location for the carrier's
inspection.
Delivery receipts that have been signed without a notation of
damage or missing parts are considered to be delivered "clear."
Subsequent claims are then considered to be concealed damage
claims. Settle damage claims directly with the transportation
company.
If you discover damage after receiving the unit (concealed damage),
the carrier must be notified within 15 days of receipt and an
inspection must be requested by telephone with confirmation in
writing. On concealed damage claims, the burden of establishing
that the unit was damaged in transit reverts back to the claimant.
Read the unit nameplate to verify it is the model ordered, and read
the motor nameplate to verify it is compatible with your electrical
conditions. Make sure electrical enclosures and components are
appropriate for the installation environment.

INSTALLATION
SELECTING A LOCATION ___________ _
ELECTRIC MOTOR UNITS. For most electric motor units, select a
relatively clean and dry well-lighted indoor area with plenty of space
for proper ventilation, cooling air flow and accessibility. Provide
1,000 cubic feet of fresh air per 5 horsepower. Locate the unit at
least 15 inches (38 cm) from walls, and make sure the main power
supply is clearly identified and accessible.
Unless the electrical components of the unit are specially protected
for outdoor use, do not install an electric motor unit outdoors or in
an area that will expose the electrical components to rain, snow or
sources of appreciable moisture.
WARNING FOR UNITS EQUIPPED
WITH ELECTRIC DRAIN VALVE
& WARNING The electric drain valve incorporates arcing or
sparking parts, such as snap switches, receptacles
and the like that tend to produce arcs or sparks
and, therefore, when located in a garage, the
compressor should be in a room or enclosure
provided for the purpose, or the electric drain
valve should be 18 inches (457 mm) or more above
the floor.
GASOLINE ENGINE UNITS. For gasoline engine units, keep the
engine at least 3 feet (1 m) away from building walls and other
equipment. Install the unit in a location with plenty of space for
proper ventilation, cooling air flow and accessibility. Do not install or
operate a gasoline engine unit in a confined area.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE CONSIDERATIONS. Ideal operating
temperatures are between 32F and 100F (OC and 37.8C). If
temperatures consistently drop below 32F (OC), install the
compressor in a heated area. If this is not possible, you must
protect safety/relief valves and drain valves from freezing. If
temperatures are consistently below 40F (4.4C), consider
installing an external crankcase heater kit, especially if the
compressor has difficulty starting.
& CAUTION Never operate the compressor in temperatures
below -15F (-26.1 C) or above 125F (51.0C).
HUMID AREAS. In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in
the pump and produce sludge in the lubricant, causing running parts
to wear out prematurely. Excessive moisture is especially likely to
occur if the unit is located in an unheated area that is subject to
large temperature changes.
Two signs of excessive humidity are external condensation on the
pump when it cools down and a "milky" appearance in petroleum
lubricant.
You may be able to prevent moisture from forming in the pump by
increasing ventilation, operating for longer intervals or installing an
external crankcase heater kit.
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS. Consult local officials for information
regarding acceptable noise levels in your area. To reduce excessive
noise, use vibration isolator pads (except on Models 2000 and
2000P) or intake silencers, relocate the unit or construct total
enclosures or baffle walls.
MOUNTING
& WARNING Remove the unit from the skid before mounting.
ELECTRIC MOTOR UNITS. Bolt the unit to a firm, level foundation
(such as a concrete floor). Do not bolt uneven feet tightly to the
foundation, as this will cause excessive stress on the receiver tank.
Use metal shims under the "short" feet if necessary. DO NOT USE
VIBRATION ISOLATOR PADS ON MODELS 2000 AND 2000P.

GASOLINE ENGINE UNITS. Bolt the unit to a firm, level
foundation. Do not bolt uneven feet tightly to the foundation, as this
will cause excessive stress on the receiver tank. Use metal shims
under the "short" feet if necessary. Gasoline engine units mounted
on truck beds must be fastened securely without applying excessive
stress on the receiver tank. We recommend installing a vibration
isolator kit with gasoline engine models.
INSTALLING REMOTE AIR INLET PIPING _____ _
& CAUTION Do not operate the unit without air inlet filtration.
If the air around the unit is relatively free of dirt, install the air inlet
filter at the inlet connection at the pump. If the air is dirty, pipe the
filter to a source of clean air. Use PVC plastic tubes for remote inlet
piping. Do not use black pipe or galvanized pipe, as these promote
sweating and rust. Consider installing an in-line type filter for ease
of cleaning and replacement. Make the line as short and direct as
possible and as large, or larger, than the diameter of the inlet
connection on the pump. Do not install piping with a diameter lower
than that of the pump intake.
Increase the pipe diameter one size for every 10 feet (3 m) of length
or every 90 bend. Make sure the piping is adequately braced.
If you pipe the filter outdoors, cover it with a hood to prevent the
entrance of rain or snow.
Heavy duty filter elements and filtration equipment are available for
fine airborne dust, such as cement and rock dust.

NOTE All compressed air systems generate condensate
which accumulates in any drain point (e.g. tanks,
filters, drip legs, aftercoolers, dryers). This
condensate contains lubricating oil and/or
substances which may be regulated and must be
disposed of in accordance with local, state, and
federal laws and regulations.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. The piping, fittings, air receiver tank,
etc. must be certified safe for at least the maximum working
pressure of the unit. Use hard-welded or threaded steel or copper
pipes and cast iron fittings that are certified safe for the unit's
discharge pressure and temperature. DO NOT USE PVC PLASTIC
IN THE COMPRESSED AIR DISCHARGE LINE. Use pipe thread
sealant on all threads, and make up joints tightly to prevent air
leaks.
CONDENSATE DISCHARGE PIPING. If installing a condensate
discharge line, the piping must be at least one size larger than the
connection, as short and direct as possible, secured tightly and
routed to a suitable drain point or waste container. Condensate
must be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal
laws and regulations.
& WARNING If an aftercooler, check valve, block valve, or any
other restriction is added to the compressor
discharge, install a properly-sized ASME approved
safetylrelief valve between the compressor
discharge and the restriction.
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING (ELECTRIC MOTOR
UNITS) ________________ _
& WARNING Electrical installation and service should be
performed by a qualified electrician who is familiar
with all applicable local, state and federal laws and
regulations.
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 National
Electric Code (NEC) 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 WIRE.
If wire size information is not available, the wire sizes shown in the
following wire selection chart can be used as a safe guide, if the
distance does not exceed 50 feet (15.3 m). For longer distances,
consult and electrical contractor or the local electric company for
recommendations.
MOTOR SINGLE THREE
MAGNETIC STARTER. If the motor installed on your unit has a
motor reset button, it does not require a magnetic starter. If the
motor does not have this button and the unit does not have a
factory-installed starter, install a magnetic starter with thermal
overload protection. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
installation. Ingersoll-Rand cannot accept responsibility for
damages arising from failure to provide adequate motor protection.
FUSES. Refer to the NEC 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.
PRESSURE SWITCH. On units without a factory-installed pressure
switch, wire a pressure switch in accordance with the appropriate
wiring schematic in the DIAGRAMS section of this manual. Mount
the pressure switch in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. The connecting line to the receiver tank must be
as short and direct as possible, and certified safe for at least the
maximum working pressure of the unit.
CONNECTING A BATTERY (GASOLINE ENGINE UNITS) _
NOTE If you will be making connections to a remote
battery, the engine on the compressor unit must be
equipped with an alternator.
BATTERY. A 12 volt battery with a minimum current rating of 250
CCA (cold cranking amps) and minimum ampere-hour rating of 24
Ah should be sufficient for cranking most electric start engines.

& WARNING Remove the cable from the negative (-) side of the
battery before servicing.
Refer to the engine manufacturer's instructions for more
information.
FUEL PUMP INSTALLATION (GASOLINE ENGINE UNITS) _
Some engines use an optional fuel pump to supply gasoline to the
engine directly from a vehicle's onboard fuel system. Install the fuel
pump within 12 inches (30 cm) of the bottom surface of the vehicle's
fuel tank. Protect the pump from contamination by installing a fuel
isolation valve and an inline filter between the pump fuel system.
COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION _________ _
& CAUTION Do not operate without lubricant or with inadequate
lubricant. Ingersoll-Rand is not responsible for
compressor failure caused by inadequate
lubrication.
SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR LUBRICANT. Ingersoll-Rand
recommends All Season T30 Select synthetic lubricant from
start-up. See the WARRANTY section for extended warranty
information.
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 440F (22rC) or higher,
and has an auto-ignition point of 650F (343C) 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

E = ADD level on units with dipstick.
F = FULL level on units with dipstick.
LOW OIL LEVEL SWITCH __________ _
A float activated low oil level switch may be installed to protect your
unit against damage due to insufficient compressor oil level. Low oil
level in the compressor crankcase causes the switch contacts to
open, thus shutting the unit down until the proper oil level has been
restored.
Proper protection against low oil level depends on proper
adjustment of the low oil level switch. During the initial run, stop the
unit and drain one quart of oil from the compressor crankcase into a
suitable clean container. Listen for the switch to click or check the
switch with a continuity tester.
The float sometimes gets cocked or stuck during shipping. If the
float is cocked or stuck, open the disconnect switch, drain the
remaining oil, remove the crankcase cover and then free the float.
Reassemble and then reuse the same oil.
NOTE If the float is cocked in the low position, the unit
cannot start.
OPERATION
INTERMITTENT DUTY FORMULA ________ _
Units operating above 200 PSIG are to be operated according to the
"Intermittent Duty Formula."
INTERMITTENT DUTY FORMULA
Pump-up time should not ordinarily exceed thirty (30)
minutes or be less than ten (10) minutes. Shutdown
periods between cycles of operation should be at least
equal to the pump-up time. Note: When the compressor
is regulated by constant speed control, the shutdown
period is the time the compressor is operating
unloaded.
A pump-up time limit with the following cool-down period is
recommended to protect the valves and heads against stabilized
high operating temperatures, which could rapidly build up carbon in
these areas.
All inquiries for high-pressure compressor application where the
"use" cycle differs from the "Intermittent Duty Formula" should be
referred to Ingersoll-Rand.
START-UP (ELECTRIC MOTOR DRIVEN MODELS) __ _
1. Close the service valve.
2. Release any remaining tank pressure by slowly opening the manual
drain valve.
3. Close the manual drain valve and apply power to the compressor. If
the pressure switch is equipped with an "ON/AUTO-OFF" lever, flip
the switch to the "ON/AUTO" position. If the unit is equipped with a
control panel "ON/OFF" switch, move the switch to the "ON"
position.
Typical Pressure Switch Lever (If Equipped)
ON/AUTO OFF
4. Slowly open the service valve.
Typical Service Valve (A = Open, B = Closed)
& CAUTION Unusual noise or vibration indicates a problem. Do
not continue to operate until you identify and
correct the source of the problem.
NOTE Ensure the direction of rotation is correct per the
arrow on the motor. If the rotation is incorrect on
three-phase units, interchange any two of the three
leads.
START-UP (GASOLINE ENGINE UNITS) ______ _
& WARNING Do not operate gasoline engine units in an enclosed
area.
1. Release any remaining tank pressure by slowly opening the manual
drain valve.
2. Turn on the engine gasoline supply.
3. Put the choke in the "on" position.
4. Close the service valve and put the unloader lever in the "unload"
(A) position for Kawasaki and Honda engine driven models, or the
"load" (B) position for Kohler engine driven models.
5. Start the engine, release the choke, and allow the engine to warm
up for two to three minutes.
6. Return the unloader lever to the "load" (B) position on Kawasaki and
Honda engine driven models.
Typical Unloader (A = Unload, B = Load)
NOTE
NOTE
Turn the gasoline supply off when the compressor
is not being used.
Some gasoline engine driven compressors require
5-8 break-in hours of operation before reaching full
capacity and speed.
6
COMPRESSORCONTROLS __________ _
AUTOMATIC START & STOP CONTROL. This type of control
applies to electric motor driven models under 10 horsepower.
NOTE Automatic Start & Stop Control is intended for use
when the motor will start no more than 6 times per
hour.
When the receiver tank pressure reaches the factory pre-set
maximum pressure (usually 175 PSI G), the pressure switch stops
the unit. When the receiver tank pressure drops below the factory
pre-set minimum (usually 135 PSIG), the pressure switch resets
and restarts the unit.
CONSTANT SPEED CONTROL. This type of control applies to
gasoline engine units.
When the receiver tank pressure reaches the factory pre-set
maximum pressure (usually 175 PSI G), the unloader slows down
the engine and the unit stops pumping. When the receiver tank
pressure drops to the factory pre-set minimum (usually 145 PSIG),
the unloader resets, the engine returns to full speed, and the unit
resumes pumping.
DUAL CONTROL. This type of control applies to electric motor
units over 10 horsepower. Select either automatic start and stop
control or constant speed control by adjusting the knob on the
auxiliary valve. For automatic start and stop control, turn the knob
on the auxiliary valve fully clockwise to disable the auxiliary valve.
The pressure switch will then start and stop the unit.
NOTE For dual control models, automatic start and stop is
preferred.
Auxiliary Valve.
o CLOCKWISE
COUNTERCLOCKWISE
KNOB
Select constant speed control if the unit restarts in less than 10
minute intervals or runs more than 40 minutes per hour. Turn the
knob fully counterclockwise to run the unit continually. When the
receiver tank pressure reaches 170 PSIG, the unit runs but does not
pump.
NOTE The auxiliary valve is factory pre-set at 5 PSIG lower
than the factory pressure switch setting.
& CAUTION Running unloaded for more than 20 minutes per
hour or more than 15 minutes continually with the
use of constant speed control will cause oil
pumping and should be avoided.
PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT _______ _
& WARNING High voltage is present at the pressure switch
contacts when the power supply is connected.
Disconnect, lock and tag main power supply before
making adjustments.
& CAUTION Do not adjust the pressure switch to exceed the
maximum discharge pressure of the unit.
NOTE Adjust the pressure switch only if adjustments are
absolutely necessary.
CUT-IN & CUT-OUT. The cut-out (compressor shut-down) is the
pressure at which the switch contacts open, and the cut-in
(compressor restart) is the pressure at which the switch contacts
close. See COMPRESSOR CONTROLS.
ADJUSTMENT CONTROLS. All pressure switches have a range
adjustment control (A). Some pressure switches also have a
differential adjustment (B) control. On switches without a differential
adjustment control, the span between cut-in and cut-out pressure
levels switches is factory set for 40 4 PSIG and cannot be
adjusted.
NOTE 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 (SWITCHES WITHOUT
DIFFERENTIAL ADJUSTMENT CONTROL):
1. Remove the pressure switch cover.
2. Adjust the range by turning the range adjustment screw clockwise
(in) to increase the cut-out point or counter-clockwise (out) to
decrease the cut-out point.
NOTE: One full turn changes the setting approximately 2
PSIG.
3. Replace cover, reconnect power supply and start the compressor.
4. Note the pressure gauge reading at which the compressor cuts out.
5. Repeat adjustment procedure if necessary.
Pressure Switch Range Adjustment.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES (SWITCHES WITH DIFFERENTIAL

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.
NOTE: 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.
NOTE: 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 PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT (MODEL 2000P) ___ _
For pressure lubricated compressors, the oil pressure should be
checked upon start-up by observing the oil pressure gauge. The
acceptable operating range is 15-40 psig. It is normal for the oil
pressure to vary slightly with oil temperature. Compressors
equipped with an optional low oil pressure shutdown system will
automatically shut down if the oil pressure drops below 10 psig.
7
The oil pump is equipped with an adjustable pressure regulator
which may be reset if conditions warrant. Refer to the following
illustration and instructions:
1. Use an adjustable wrench to remove the knurled cover for the valve
on the right side of the oil pump housing (A).
2. Loosen the retaining nut (B) with a 7/16" wrench such that the
threaded rod (C) is free to rotate.
3. Using a 1/8" hex key, adjust the threaded rod to the desired setting.
Turning the rod clockwise increases the oil pressure setting, and
turning the rod counterclockwise decreases the oil pressure.
4. When the oil pressure is set, tighten the retaining nut and replace
the knurled cover.
STARTING UNLOADING SYSTEM ________ _
The starting unloading feature exists on certain models. The
purpose of the system is to relieve cylinder pressure when the unit
stops, permitting it to start against a light load. A light load
increases the life of the driver and belts and also reduces the
possibility of tripping the overload relay. The system operates in the
following manner:
The centrifugal unloader is attached to the end of the crankshaft as
shown in the following illustrations.
When the unit starts, centrifugal force acts upon the unloader
weights and they swing outward. This permits the plunger and thrust
pin to move inward and the pilot valve to close. The escape path to
atmosphere for the cylinder pressure is now closed and the
compressor pumps air in a normal manner.
When the unit stops, the weights retract, permitting the thrust pin
spring to move the plunger and thrust pin outward. The thrust pin
opens the pilot valve and the trapped air pressure escapes from the

through the unloader tube and to atmosphere through the inlet
filter/silencer.

STARTING UNLOADING SYSTEM (PRESSURE
LUBRICATED MODELS) ___________ _
Pressure lubricated compressors use a hydraulic unloader system
to provide loadless starting. This system has the added feature of
providing emergency unloading should oil pressure be lost during
compressor operation.
The hydraulic unloader circuit bypasses the auxiliary valve (H) to
direct control air to the head unloaders when oil pressure is lost.
This circuit is controlled by the hydraulic unloader valve (E), a
normally open valve that closes on rising oil pressure. During
compressor operation, the oil pressure holds the hydraulic unloader
valve closed. Head unloader actuation is controlled by the auxiliary
valve.
When oil pressure is lost, either due to compressor shutdown or to
a lubrication problem during compressor operation, the hydraulic
unloader opens, actuating the head unloaders (F). This action will
either vent the shut down compressor in preparation for the next
start-up or release compression load to minimize damage if oil
pressure is lost while the compressor is running.

PILOT VALVE ADJUSTMENT __________ _
If the pilot valve tube line is excessively hot, it is a good indication
that the pilot valve is leaking and adjustment is required.
To adjust the pilot valve, proceed as follows:
1. Stop the unit and disconnect and tag the electrical supply main
switch to prevent accidental start-up.
2. Remove the pilot valve tube and the tube fittings.
3. Remove the pilot valve body and all existing shims.
4. Screw the pilot valve body back into the frame end cover (without
any shims) until contact with the thrust pin is felt. Advance the pilot
valve body 1/4 to 1/2 turn more.
If contact with the thrust pin cannot be felt, the following steps may
be necessary to locate the contact point:
1. Insert a small instrument (punch, rod, nail, etc.) into the end of the
pilot valve until it contacts the valve stem.
2. While still inserted in the pilot valve, make a mark on the instrument
even with the outside edge of the pilot valve body.
3. Keeping the instrument pressed lightly against the valve stem, screw
the pilot valve body into the frame end cover. When the mark on the
instrument starts moving out away from the edge of the pilot valve
body, contact has been made with the thrust pin.
4. Advance the pilot valve body 1/4 to 1/2 turn more and proceed with
step five.
5. Measure the gap between the pilot valve body and the frame end
cover.
6. Remove the pilot valve body and add enough shims to fill the gap
measured in step five.
7. Screw the pilot valve body back into the frame end cover until the
body is tight on the shims.
8. Reconnect the pilot valve tube and tube fittings.
BREATHER/UNLOADER BY-PASS
The breather/unloader by-pass tube lines eliminates air pressure
build-up in the compressor frame by providing a passage for the air
to escape through the inlet unloader (if opened) or (if closed)
through the check valve, therefore, by-passing the inlet unloader
and escaping to atmosphere through the inlet filter/silencer.
OIL CONSUMPTION CHECK __________ _
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 Ounce
Ounces of Oil Used
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
Hours per Ounce
2 Ounces of Oil Used
The compressor in the example passes the oil consumption test.
NOTE New or rebuilt compressor pumps will discharge
higher than normal amounts of oil until the piston
rings are seated (approximately 100 operating
hours).
MAINTENANCE
& WARNING Before performing maintenance, release air
pressure from the system and disconnect, lock and
tag the main power supply or disconnect the wire
from the engine spark plug.

OILCHANGE _______________ __
1. Remove the oil drain plug (A) and allow the lubricant to drain into a
suitable container.
2. Replace the oil drain plug.
3. Follow the filling procedures in OPERATION section.
BELT ADJUSTMENT
CHECKING BELT TENSION. Check belt tension should be
occasionally, especially if looseness is suspected. New belts must
also be properly tensioned upon installation.
TENSIONING BELTS. Belt tensioning can be achieved by
loosening the motor or engine anchor screws, pushing the motor or
engine away from the pump, and retightening the motor or engine
anchor screws. Some units are equipped with a belt tensioning bolt
that, when turned, pulls the motor or engine away from the pump.
Otherwise, the motor can be easily moved by placing a prying tool
beneath it. A commercially available spreader or other belt
tensioning device can also be helpful.
Follow the procedures outlined below to correctly set and measure
belt tension on electric motor and gas engine models including
2340,2475, and 2545 (with "A" belt type only). Refer to the
following illustration for a visual representation.
DEFLECTION
FORCE SCALE
(READ DOWN)
DEFLECTION
DISTANCE SCALE
(READ UP)
1. Lay a straight edge across the top outer surface of the belt drive
from pulley to sheave.
2. At the center of the span, perpendicular to the belt, apply pressure
to the outer surface of the belt with a tension gauge. Force the belt
10
to the deflection indicated in the BELT TENSION TABLE in the
DIAGRAMS & TABLES section. Compare the reading on the tension
gauge to the table.
Follow the procedures outlined below to correctly set and measure
tension on 7.5 through 30 horsepower models 2545, 7100, 15T and
2000 with "B" and "C" belt types.
1. Measure the span length (t) of the drive.
2. Determine the amount of deflection (in inches) required to measure
deflection force (in pounds) by multiplying the span length (t) by
1/64. For example, a 32" span length multiplied by 1/64 equals 1/2"
of deflection required to measure deflection force.
3. Lay a straight edge across the top outer surface of the belt drive
from pulley to sheave.
4. At the center of the span, perpendicular to the belt, apply pressure
to the outer surface of the belt with a tension gauge. Force the belt
to the predetermined deflection calculated in step 2. Compare the
reading on the tension gauge to the BELT TENSION TABLE in the
DIAGRAMS & TABLES section.
Ensure the pulley and sheave are properly aligned and the motor
anchor screws are adequately retightened prior to restarting the
compressor.
Lt. CAUTION Improper pulley/sheave alignment and belt tension
can result in motor overload, excessive vibration,
and premature belt and/or bearing failure.
To prevent these problems from occurring, ensure the pulley and
sheave are aligned and belt tension is satisfactory after installing
new belts or tensioning existing belts.
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.
Lt. 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.

LOW OIL LEVEL SWITCH
PART NUMBER 32276313
1. PURPOSE.
Can Cause Severe Injury or Death.
Always release air pressure from the
compressor, air receiver and associated
tubing and components before servicing this
compressor.
The purpose of this publication is to provide mainte-
nance and parts list information regarding the latest
design improvements on your Ingersoll-Rand air com-
pressor. The information contained herein has not yet
been incorporated in the Instruction and Parts List
Manuals provided with your compressor.
2. SCOPE.
This supplement is applicable to all Type 30 (T30) air
compressors manufactured after April 1 , 1994. Depend-
ing on the air compressor purchased, the Low Oil Level
Switch is available as either standard or optional equip-
ment.
3. PRECEDENCE.
The maintenance procedures contained in Paragraph 6
supersede the corresponding data in the Instruction Man-
ual supplied with your air compressor. When ordering
spare or replacement parts, the part numbers listed in
Paragraph 8 should be used in place of those shown in
the Parts List. This publication, along with the Instruction
Manual and Parts List should be kept in a location which
is accessible to operation and maintenance personnel.
4. DESCRIPTION.
A properly functioning Low Oil Level Switch is critical to
the operation of your compressor. Operating the com-
pressor with a defective switch can cause extensive
damage should the frame oil level drop to an unsafe
point undetected. The switch is a single-pole, double-
throw device, and is NEMA 4 rated. Switch data is listed
in Table 1.
@ 1994 Ingersoll-Rand Company
Printed in the U.S.A.
Can Cause Severe Injury or Death.
Always disconnect power supply before
performing any maintenance or repair work
on this compressor.
The low oil level switch does not alleviate the need to
check the frame oil level in your compressor on a regu-
lar basis (Refer to the SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
table in your Instruction Manual). Ingersoll-Rand Com-
pany cannot assume responsibility for any damage
which might occur as the result of operating the com-
pressor without adequate lubrication.

TABLE 1. SWITCH DATA.
5. OPERATION.
If the oil level in the compressor frame reaches an
unsafe level, the float will cause the switch contacts to
open and shut down the unit. When the proper lubricant
level has been restored, the float will reset to its original
position, closing the switch contacts. The compressor
can then be restarted.
6. MAINTENANCE.
Under normal operation, the low oil level switch re-
quires no operator intervention or routine maintenance.
If the switch fails, as evidenced by frequently shutting
off the motor, or failing to shut off the motor if the oil
level drops to an unsafe point, it should be removed and

A. REMOVAL. (NOTE: Frame end cover removal is
not required to remove the low oil level switch).
1). Disconnect the main power supply and drain
the oil from the frame (refer to your Instruction
Manual for oil change procedures).
2). Disconnect the switch wires from the control
circuit.
3). Loosen the three set screws and remove the

PURPOSE ________________________ _____
This supplement applies only to units equipped with
an optional automatic drain valve (part numbers
32296238 and 32310690). It contains information
which is not included in the product literature provided
with your unit. Keep this supplement with your
product literature for future reference.
DESCRIPTION ______________________ _
The automatic drain valve removes condensed water
and oil from compressed air systems. This device will
not restrict air flow, create a pressure drop or open
the system to the atmosphere. Its unique design
maintains systems pressure and volume during
operation, and increases productivity.
OPERA TlON _____________________ _
The automatic drain valve functions on the principle
of piston movement which is achieved by intermittent
pressure provided at the pilot port. The forward
motion of the piston due to pressure at the pilot port
allows condensate from the receiver to flow into the
valve reservoir. When the pressure at the pilot port
drops the piston comes back to its original position
and the condensate is expelled from the condensate
outlet. The constant speed control or automatic
1996 Ingersoll-Rand Company

start-stop mode of compressor delivers this
intermittent pressure.
INSTALLATION ______________________ _
On compressors that have been in service without an
automatic drain valve, all debris at the bottom of the
tank should be cleaned and blown out. If the debris is
not removed, or if the compressor is more than two
years old, we recommend installing a y-type strainer
ahead of the drain valve.

NOTICE
Considering normal operation ofthe duplex in
which both compressors are operating and cycling
with each other, the automatic drain valve has
been piped to one compressor only (the one
closer to the service valve). Therefore, the
automatic drain valve will function as long as this
compressor is operating. If this compressor is shut
off for long periods of time, then manual draining
of the receiver must be performed.
In Model 3000 duplex compressors, a larger
reservoir (Part Number 32496309) is used. This
must be noted when ordering replacements.
NOTICE
The automatic drain valve requires very little operator
intervention. However, it will be necessary to
periodically clean the screen inside the valve to keep
it functioning at maximum capacity. Blowing out the
receiver will clean out the strainer screen in the valve.
Note there may be a small amount of water between
the bottom ofthe receiver and the drain valve. (In
harsh conditions, removal of the manual drain prior to
exhaust may be required for complete cleaning).
Reinstall manual drain valve. Follow the daily

Cold Weather Operation
of Type 30 Products
This supplement applies to all two-stage air compressor products. It contains information regarding the operation of your
unit in cold weather conditions. The information contained herein supplements the information contained in the product
literature provided with your unit when shipped.
-INSTALLATION
T30 compressors should be installed where ambient temperatures are between 32F and lOOF (OC and 37.8C).
Crankcase heaters should be installed whenever the compressor is operated in ambients below 32F (OC).
- LUBRICATION
Please adhere to the following guidelines.
Consult factory for use of synthetic lubricants in ambients below 32F (OC).
Non-detergent petroleum lubricating oil containing only rust, oxidation and anti-foaming inhibitors can be used in all
Type-30 air compressors (exception: HPI000 and 20H40NG compressors).
The petroleum-based lubricant viscosities given in the following table are intended as a general guide only. Heavy duty
operating conditions require heavier viscosities. Where borderline temperature conditions are encountered, the viscosity
index of the oil should be considered. Always refer your specific operating conditions to your lubricant supplier for
recommendations.

Table 1. Viscosity for Petroleum-based Lubricants.
- GENERAL
When operating compressors in ambients below 32F (OC), the compressor control valves, pressure relief valves,
regulators and drain valves must be protected against freezing.
Starting torque is critical for cold weather starts. Remember that a 10% drop in supply voltage will reduce starting torque
by 19%.

Supplement
For
Compressor Lubrication
(All Season T30 Select Synthetic Lubricant)
NOTICE
Synthetic lubricants such as All Season T30 Select
have a detergent action and may dissolve or break
loose existing deposits in used compressors and
compressed air systems.
You must be certain that the downstream
components of your compressed air system will not
be damaged by the action of this lubricant, as this
lubricant is not compatible with certain materials.
Please refer to the material compatibility table.
If there are any materials present downstream in
your compressed air system that are not included in
the material compatibility table, we urge you to
contact your local Ingersoll-Rand distributor for
information.
DESCRIPTION _____________ _
All Season T30 Select is an all-temperature diester
synthetic lubricant. The benefits of All Season T30 Select
are as follows:
1). Reduces wear and eliminates much of the carbon build-
up found when some petroleum-based lubricants are used.
This elimination increases compressor efficiency and
significantly decreases maintenance and downtime.
2). All-temperature blend provides more consistent
viscosity and protection in high and low operating
temperatures.
3). Faster splash lubrication to moving parts and less
cranking resistance at operating temperatures below 40F
(4.4C).
4). May be used reliably in operating temperatures that are
consistently below 30F (-1.1 QC).
APPLICATION _____________ _
All Season T30 Select is recommended for Type 30
standard and high pressure reciprocating air compressors.
It is not recommended for aluminum units, vacuum pumps,
CNG units or non-Iube units.
CRANKCASEHEATERS _________________ __
While providing exceptional lubrication at normal and high
operating temperatures, All Season T30 Select is
formulated to be used in low operating temperatures as
well. Depending on model and prevailing voltage
conditions, some compressors may require the occasional
use of crankcase heaters in operating temperatures below
30F (-1.1 QC). If your compressor has difficulty starting in
Ingersoll-Rand Company
Printed in U.S.A.
temperatures below 30F (-1.1 C), a crankcase heater may
be required. Contact your nearest Ingersoll-Rand Full
Service Distributor for more details.
WARRANTY ______________ _
A two-year warranty is available for Type 30 two stage cast
iron bare compressor pumps that run solely on All Season
T30 Select from start-up through an entire two-year period.
Models 2340,2475,2545,7100, 15T and 3000 that are
operated solely on All Season T30 Select brand synthetic
lubricant will have their bare compressor pump warranted
for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of
initial operation or thirty (30) months from the date of
shipment, whichever shall occur first.
The extended warranty applies only to Type 30 two stage
cast iron bare compressor pumps. Motors, receivers and
any other package components do not qualify for extended
warranty.
The extended warranty does not apply to Type 30 single
stage models, high pressure models or 6R models.
NOTE: Proof of All Season T30 Select purchase may be
required with warranty claim.
Fire or explosion hazard!
Do not use alternate lubricants that fail to
meet minimum f1ashpoint and auto-
ignition temperature requirements.
Use of improper lubricants result in coking
(carbon deposits) which can block heat
exchangers, discharge lines, compressor
valves, safety/relief valves and control
lines and result in a fire or explosion
which can cause severe injury or death.
Certain petroleum-based lubricants may be used in most
Type-30 model compressors provided they are premium-
quality, non-detergent lubricants containing only rust,
oxidation, and anti-foaming inhibitors. Substitute lubricants
must have a flashpoint of 440F (227C) or higher and an
auto-ignition point of 650F (343C) or higher.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURES ________________ _
NOTE: These break-in instructions apply only to Type 30
single and two stage cast iron air compressor models. High
pressure and 6R models require a 1 OO-hour break-in with
petroleum-based lubricant only. ..

RECEIPT & INSPECTION
Remove the EDV-2000 from packaging and inspect for
transportation damage. Ensure the voltage rating on the solenoid
valve matches your power supply.
INSTALLATION
On compressors that have been in service without an automatic
drain, all debris at the bottom of the tank should be cleaned and
blown out before installing the electric drain.
WARNING: DO NOT install the EDV-2000 on a pressurized
tank. Depressurize the tank and disconnect the power
supply before installing.
NOTE: For ease of installation, it may be necessary to
elevate the tank. Ensure adequate lifting equipment is
available.
1. Install EDV-2000 using proper sealant (Le., Loctite 567) on the
threads. Ensure sealant does not enter the valve body.
2. Supply EDV-2000 with the proper electrical supply voltage.

2. Set the "time off" and "time on" knobs. See TIMER SETTINGS
(below) for an explanation of the settings.
3. During compressor operation, check for air leaks.
TIMER SETTINGS
The "time off" setting determines the interval between cycles from
30 seconds to 45 minutes. The "time on" setting determines the
actual time the compressor drains condensate from the 114" or 1/2"
condensate outlet port.
The timer's cycle rate and drain opening time should be adjusted to
open just long enough to discharge the condensate. The timer is
properly set when it opens and discharges condensate and then
vents air for approximately one second before closing. Adjustments
may be made depending on many factors, including humidity and
duty cycle .

This supplement sheet contains installation, maintenance and replacement parts information that has not yet been
incorporated into the owner's manual and parts list for your air compressor. Please retain this information for
reference.
ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE SWITCH SETTINGS
WARNING! High voltage is present at the pressure switch contacts when the power supply is connected.
Disconnect, lock and tag main power supply before making adjustments.
CAUTION! Do not adjust the pressure switch to exceed the maximum discharge pressure of the unit.
Cut-off failure can occur by over adjusting the range nut.
NOTE Adjust the pressure switch only if adjustments are absolutely necessary.
To properly adjust the range, follow the instructions below:
1. Remove the pressure switch cover.
2. Adjust the range by turning the range adjustment screw clockwise (in) to
increase the cut-out point or counter-clockwise (out) to decrease the cut-out
point.
NOTE: One full turn (360) changes the setting approximately 6 PSIG.
3. Replace cover, reconnect power supply and start the compressor.
4. Note the pressure gauge reading at which the compressor cuts out.
5. Repeat adjustment procedure if necessary.
PRESSURE SWITCH INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Diaphragm leaks can occur if a new pressure switch is installed improperly. During installation of a new pressure switch, do
not tighten the pressure switch by turning the switch body by hand. Putting sideways pressure on the switch body puts stress
on the body-to-diaphragm connection and may cause later failure due to vibration, temperature expansion, or pressure.
In addition, do not use the pressure switch assembly as a handle when moving the compressor. This places stress on the
body-to-diaphragm connection and can distort internal components.
Failure can occur by putting undue stress on the unloader body while tightening the unloader tubing with a wrench. Do not
adjust the orientation of the pressure switch by turning the entire assembly with a wrench placed on the unloader connection.
