DANGER
INTAKE AIR. Can contain carbon monoxide or other contaminants. Will cause serious injury or death. Ingersoll–Rand
air compressors are not designed, intended or approved for breathing air. Compressed air should not be used for
breathing air applications unless treated in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.
WARNING
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE. Can cause serious injury or death. Disconnect power and bleed pressure from tank before
servicing. Lockout/Tagout machine. Compressor must be connected to properly grounded circuit. See Grounding
Instructions in manual. Do not operate compressor in wet conditions. Store indoors.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. Electrical arcing from compressor components can ignite flammable liquids and
vapors which can result in serious injury. Never operate the compressor near flammable liquids or vapors. If used to
spray flammable materials, keep compressor at least 20ft away from the spray area.
HIGH PRESSURE AIR. Rusted tanks can cause explosion and severe injury or death. Receiver under pressure.
Operator should relieve tank pressure before performing maintenance. In addition to automatic drain, operate manual
drain valve weekly. Manual drain valve located at bottom of the tank.
MOVING PARTS. Can cause serious injury. Do not operate with guards removed. Machine may start automatically.
Disconnect power before servicing. Lockout/Tagout machine.
HOT SURFACES. Can cause serious injury. Do not touch. Allow to cool before servicing. Do not touch hot

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.
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.
