MAGNETIC STARTER. If the motor installed on your unit has a
motor reset button, it does not require a magnetic starter. If the
motor does not have this button and the unit does not have a
factory-installed starter, install a magnetic starter with thermal
overload protection. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
installation. Ingersoll-Rand cannot accept responsibility for
damages arising from failure to provide adequate motor protection.
FUSES. Refer to the NEC to determine the proper fuse or circuit
breaker rating required. When selecting fuses, remember the
momentary starting current of an electric motor is greater than its
full load current. Time-delay or "slow-blow" fuses are recommended.
PRESSURE SWITCH. On units without a factory-installed pressure
switch, wire a pressure switch in accordance with the appropriate
wiring schematic in the DIAGRAMS section of this manual. Mount
the pressure switch in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. The connecting line to the receiver tank must be
as short and direct as possible, and certified safe for at least the
maximum working pressure of the unit.
CONNECTING A BATTERY (GASOLINE ENGINE UNITS) __
NOTE If you will be making connections to a remote
battery, the engine on the compressor unit must be
equipped with an alternator.
BATTERY. A 12 volt battery with a minimum current rating of 250
CCA (cold cranking amps) and minimum ampere-hour rating of 24
Ah should be sufficient for cranking most electric start engines.
BATTERY CABLES. Refer to the following table for size and length
recommendations.
Cable Maximum
Size (CA) Length
6 5' (1.5 m.)
4 7'-2.5" (2.1 m,)
2 12' (3.6 m.)
CONNECTION PROCEDURES:
1. Connect the battery positive (+) cable (A) to the starter solenoid
terminal (B).

2. Connect the battery negative (-) cable (C) to the bolt shown in the
following illustration. Secure the wire in place by screwing a
suitably-sized nut onto the bolt and down onto the terminal.

3. Connect the battery positive (+) cable (A) to the battery positive (+)
terminal.
4. Connect the battery negative (-) cable to the battery negative (-)
terminal.
5. Coat the terminals and cable ends with corrosion-preventive grease.
A WARNING Remove the cable from the negative (-) side of the
battery before servicing.
Refer to the engine manufacturer's instructions for more
information.
FUEL PUMP INSTALLATION (GASOLINE ENGINE UNITS) _
Some engines use an optional fuel pump to supply gasoline to the
engine directly from a vehicle's onboard fuel system. Install the fuel
pump within 12 inches (30 cm) of the bottom surface of the vehicle's
fuel tank. Protect the pump from contamination by installing a fuel
isolation valve and an inline filter between the pump fuel system.
COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION
/k CAUTION Do not operate without lubricant or with inadequate
lubricant. Ingersoll-Rand is not responsible for
compressor failure caused by inadequate
lubrication.
SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR LUBRICANT. Ingersoll-Rand
recommends All Season T30 Select synthetic lubricant from
start-up. See the WARRANTY section for extended warranty
information.
ALTERNATE LUBRICANTS. You may use XL-300 or a comparable
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,
