INTRODUCTION _____________________________________

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

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 standby 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.
