NOTE
Where found in this manual, the word must means that the specification must be met
to validate the warranty.
The word should means that it is a desirable condition, but not mandatory for the
operation of the compressor and failure to meet this specification does not
necessarily affect the warranty. Deviation from these recommendations may severely
limit efficient operation or interfere with the service technician’s ability to perform
maintenance on the machine.
Safety
This manual contains instructions for planning of the installation, operation and maintenance
of your Ingersoll-Rand centrifugal air compressor. Your compressor has been designed to
provide safe and reliable service. However, it is both a pressure system and a rotating
machine, therefore, the operator(s) must exercise good judgment and proper safety practices
to prevent personal injury and avoid damage to the equipment and surroundings. The
instructions in this manual are intended for personnel with a general training in operation and
maintenance of centrifugal air compressors.
Safety Program
It is assumed that your safety department has established a safety program based on a
thorough analysis of industrial hazards. Before installing, operating or performing
maintenance on the compressor and associated components described in this manual,
review the safety program to ensure that it covers the hazards that come with high speed
rotating machinery.
It is also important to consider the hazards associated with electrical power, hot oil, high
pressure and temperature liquids, toxic liquids and gases, and flammable liquids and
gases. Proper installation and care of protective guards, shutdown devices, and over
pressure protection equipment are also essential parts of any safety program.
