All persons positioned near to operating machinery should be

equipped with hearing protection and given instructions on its use in

accordance with workplace safety legislation.

Make sure that all protective covers are in place and that the

canopy/doors are closed during operation.

The specification of this machine is such that the machine is not

suitable for use in flammable gas risk areas.

Installation of this compressor must be in accordance with

recognized electrical codes and any local Health and Safety Codes.

The use of plastic bowls on line filters without metal guards can be

hazardous. Their safety can be affected by either synthetic lubricants,

or the additives used in mineral oils. Metal bowls should be used on a

pressurized system.

Compressed air

Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectly handled. Before

doing any work on the unit, ensure that all pressure is vented from the

system and that the machine cannot be started accidentally.

Ensure that the machine is operating at the rated pressure and that

the rated pressure is known to all relevant personnel.

All air pressure equipment installed in or connected to the machine

must have safe working pressure ratings of at least the machine rated

pressure.

If more than one compressor is connected to one common

downstream plant, effective isolation valves must be fitted and

controlled by work procedures, so that one machine cannot accidently

be pressurized / over pressurized by another.

Compressed air must not be used for a direct feed to any form of

breathing apparatus or mask.

The discharged air contains a very small percentage of compressor

lubricating oil and care should be taken to ensure that downstream

equipment is compatible.

If the discharged air is to be ultimately released into a confined

space, adequate ventilation must be provided.

When using compressed air always use appropriate personal

protective equipment.

All pressure containing parts, especially flexible hoses and their

couplings, must be regularly inspected, be free from defects and be

replaced according to the Manual instructions.

Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectly handled. Before

doing any work on the unit, ensure that all pressure is vented from the

system and that the machine cannot be started accidentally.

Avoid bodily contact with compressed air.

All safety valves located in the separator tank must be checked

periodically for correct operation.

Do not over–pressurize the receiver tank or similar vessels beyond

design limits.

Do not use a receiver tank or similar vessels that fail to meet the

design requirements of the compressor. Contact your distributor for

assistance.

Do not drill into, weld or otherwise alter the receiver tank or similar

vessels.

Do not remove, adjust, change, modify or make substitutions for

safety/relief valves, pressure switches or other pressure control

related devices.

LOCATION IN THE PLANT

WARNING FOR COMPRESSORS 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.

Consult local officials for information regarding acceptable noise

levels in your area. Enclosed compressors are available for low noise

applications.

The compressor must be permanently mounted to a firm, level floor

capable of supporting it. Ensure that the compressor is positioned

securely and on a stable foundation. Any risk of movement should be

removed by suitable means, especially to avoid strain on any rigid

discharge piping.

WARNING

Remove the compressor from the skid before mounting.

When mounting the compressor, install bolts through the mounting

feet and into the mounting surface. Do not bolt uneven feet tightly to the

foundation, as this will cause excessive stress on the receiver tank.

Use metal shims to level the compressor if necessary.

INSTALLATION / HANDLING

UP6RD–5–175, UP6RM–5–175, UP6RD–5–175

Typical Permanent Mounting (Customer–Supplied Hardware)

D. Shim beneath isolator washer, if necessary

E. Isolator washer

F. Flat washer

CAUTION

Never operate in temperatures below 20_F (–6.6_C) or above

104_F (40_C).

REMOTE AIR INLET PIPING

If the air around the compressor 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.

CAUTION

Do not operate the compressor without the air inlet filter(s).

DISCHARGE PIPING

If it is necessary to install air discharge and condensate discharge

piping, adhere to the following guidelines. Contact your dealer for more

information.

WARNING

Do not use plastic pipe, soldered copper fittings, rubber hose, or

lead–tin soldered joints anywhere in the compressed air system.

WARNING

If an aftercooler, check valve, block valve, or any other restriction

is added to the compressor discharge, install a properly sized coded

safety/relief valve between the compressor discharge and restriction.

CAUTION

If you will be using the “All Season Select” synthetic compressor

lubricant, all downstream piping material and system components must

be compatible. Refer to the material compatibility list. If there are

incompatible materials present in your system, or if there are materials

not included in the list, contact your dealer.

COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION

A. Oil fill plug

B. Low oil level switch

C. Oil drain plug

CAUTION

Do not operate without lubricant or with inadequate lubricant.

Ingersoll–Rand is not responsible for compressor failure caused by

inadequate lubrication.

We recommend ALL SEASON SELECT synthetic compressor

lubricant.

You may use a 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 440_F (227_C)

or higher, and has an auto–ignition point of 650_F (343_C) or higher.

See the petroleum lubricant viscosity table below. The table is

intended as a general guide only. Heavy–duty operating conditions

require heavier oil viscosity. Refer specific operating conditions to your

dealer for recommendations.

80 – 104 26.7 – 40 750 165 150 40

NOTE

If you use a petroleum–based compressor lubricant at start–up and

decide to convert to ALL SEASON SELECT lubricant later, the

compressor valves must be thoroughly decarbonized and the

crankcase must be flushed before conversion.

Filling Procedures:

1. For enclosed compressors, remove the front panel.

2. Unscrew and remove the oil fill plug.

CAUTION

Do not remove the oil fill plug while the compressor is running.

3. Slowly fill the crankcase with lubricant until the lubricant reaches the

top thread of the oil fill opening and the top of the sight glass.

4. Replace the oil fill plug HAND TIGHT ONLY.

LOW OIL LEVEL SWITCH

A float activated low oil level switch may be installed to protect your

unit against damage due to insufficient compressor level oil. Low oil

level in the compressor crankcase causes the switch contacts to close,

thus energizing the shunt coil in the combination pressure switch. This

in turn shuts the pressure switch off. Once proper oil level has been

restored the pressure switch (control panel) lever needs to be turned

to Auto to start the unit.

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 (0.946L) 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.

NOTE

On enclosed compressors, the front panel must be removed to

access the low oil level switch.

3. Move the pressure switch lever or control panel knob to

”ON/AUTO”. The unit will start.

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

or arrow on the blower housing on enclosed units. If the rotation is

incorrect on three–phase units, interchange any two of the three leads.

4 Run the unit for 30 minutes. Ensure the service valve is fully open

and there is no tank pressure build up.

5. After 30 minutes, close the service valve fully. The air receiver will

fill to cut–out pressure and the motor will stop. The unit is now ready for

use.

NORMAL START–UP

1. Set the pressure switch lever or control panel knob to ”OFF”.

2. Close the service valve.

3. Attach hose and accessory.

4. Move the pressure switch lever or control panel knob to

COMPRESSOR CONTROLS

Direct online starting:

The compressor is equipped for Automatic Start & Stop Control.

When the receiver tank pressure reaches the factory pre–set

maximum pressure, the pressure switch stops the unit. When the

receiver tank pressure drops below the factory pre–set minimum. The

pressure switch resets and restarts the unit.

The combination pressure switch and starter performs the dual

function of a direct online starter and a pressure switch. On enclosed

units the combination pressure switch is behind the control panel. It can

be accessed by removing the front panel and then unscrewing the four

screws holding the control panel. The pressure switch cover can be

removed by unscrewing the two screws holding the cover.

Pressure switch adjustment:

The compressor package will cut–in and cut–out at factory preset

pressure settings. Adjust the pressure switch only if absolutely

necessary.

Adjustments are to be carried out only when the switch is mounted,

under pressure and voltage–free.

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

When replacing the pressure switch cover, ensure the selector

knob on the cover and the lever on the switch are both in the ”OFF” posi-

tion.
