COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION
_,CAUTION Do not operate without lubricant or with
inadequa_ lubricant. Ingersoll-Rand is
not responsible for compressor failure
caused by inadequate lubrication.
SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR LUBRICANT. Ingersoll Rand
recommends All Season Select synthetic lubricant from start-
up. See the WARRANTY for extended warranty _nfo_mation
ALTERNATE Lg BRICANTS. You may use XL-300 or a
comparable petroleum-based lubricant that is premium quality,
does not contain detergents, contains only antFrust, anfl-
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 pu_oleum 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 Ingersoll-Rand fo_ recommendations.

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

FILLING PROCEDURES:
1. Unscrew and remove the oil fill plug
2. Fill the crankcase with lubricant.
3, Replace the oil fill plug HAN D TIGHT ONLY
CAUTION Do not remove the oil fill plug while the
compressor is running.
Use one of the foIIowng methods illustrated to determine when
the crankcase is full
A = FULL level at bolfom thread of oll fill opening on units
without sight glass.
B = ADD level below bottom thread of oil fill opening On units
without sight glass.
C = FULL level on units with sight g/ass.
D _ ADD level on units with sight glass.
LOW OIL LEVEL SWITCH
A float activated low oil level switch may be installed to protect
your und against damage due to insuffiaent compressor oil
level Low oil level in the compressor crankcase causes the
switch contacts toopen, 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 Dudng the initial run, stop
the unit and drain one quart of oil from the compressor
crankcase into a suitable clean containe, Listen for the switch
to dick or check the sw_tch 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,

START-UP
1. Close the ser_ce valve
2. Release any remaining tank pressure b_/slowly opening the
manual drain valve.
3. C_ose the manual drain valve and apply power to the
compres_ If the pressure sw_tch 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" swdch,
move the switch to the "ON" posi_on.
