• Eagle RECIPROCATING, 4 Introduction In order to ensure maximum performance and long life from your new compressor, the following instructions should be carefully read and all points regarding installation and operation of your unit should be noted and observed. Air compressors can cause injury or death if operated improperly. A careful reading of this manual, prior to making any connection to the motor or compressor, will pay dividends in terms of safe trouble-free operation. Safety At Eagle: “Safety is #1.” Your new air compressor is constructed to e

• 5 Before uncrating inspect the following: • Check for possible damage in transit and see that the pulley turns freely and true by hand. • Insure that adequate lifting equipment is available for unloading and moving your compressor. • Once the compressor has been unloaded, check for concealed damage that could have occurred in transport. • Read the compressor

• Eagle RECIPROCATING, 6 Location Locate the compressor in an area that is clean, well lighted, and well ventilated, with sufficient space for safe and proper inspection and maintenance. The compressor is capable of operating in an ambient temperature up to 40°C provided that the area is well ventilated. Inspection and maintenance checks are required daily; therefore, sufficient uncluttered space needs to be provided around the compressor. The compressor must not be installed closer than sixteen (16) inches to a wall or to another compressor to allow ample circulation of air across the

• Eagle RECIPROCATING, 7 If the power is “Network” distributed with 208 volts entering the building, order a 208-volt motor. If the starting voltage is less than ninety (90) percent of the motor nameplate voltage, the motor cannot be expected to start, and the interior building wiring must be corrected. IMPORTANT: If voltage drops lower than 188 volts a 200-volt motor should be used, not a triple voltage (208/230/460) 3-phase motor. All 3-phase motors require external overload protection. The wiring should be done by a licensed electrician who is familiar with the requirements of the National Board of Fire Underwriters and of the local inspectors.

• Eagle RECIPROCATING, 8 Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers Air-cooled heat exchangers must be sized to provide adequate cooling under the most severe conditions, which probably means providing for an ambient temperature of 40°C. Once the cooler is in place and working, precautions must be taken to prevent restriction of the cooling air flow to and from the cooler and recirculation of the cooling air. Safety Valves Safety valves are pressure relief valves and should be sized and purchased with a pressure setting to protect the weakest link in the system. Never change the pressure setting. Only the safety valve manufactu

• Eagle RECIPROCATING, 9 Warnings Warning signs and labels shall be provided with enough light to be read, be conspicuously located, and maintained for legibility. Do not remove any warning, caution, or instructional material attached. TAKING CARE OF YOUR COMPRESSOR ADDING OIL A) Sightglass Type Most Eagle compressors are equipped with a round or oval type sightglass oil level gauge. This sightglass gauge is located on the crankcase opposite from the flywheel end of the compressor. • Oil should always be visible in this sightglass, whether the compressor is operating or not. • The top of the oil level sightglass indicates the maximum oil fil

• 10 Air Leaks Air leaks are costly, your compressor uses a lot of energy to ensure that a constant storage of high-pressure air is available to perform work. • If air leaks are detected, rectify the problem as soon as possible. • If a detected air leak is potentially dangerous, isolate the area and attend to it immediately. Vibration Vibration is a characte

• Eagle RECIPROCATING, 11 Dual Control Operation When electric powered compressors are provided with “Optional” stop/start and constant speed control. • The constant speed control pilot is to be set to unload at a slightly lower pressure than the pressure switch. That is, if your pressure switch is set to cut out at 125 PSIG. then the constant speed control pilot should be set to unload at approximately 120 PSIG. • An isolation valve is placed in the supply line to the constant speed control pilot. This valve, when open will provide constant speed operation and when closed stop/start operation. If you

• 12 OIL RECOMMENDATION AND SPECIFICATION Recommended Oil Eagle Compressor Oil # EAQIL 10 (1 Litre) # EAOIL 40 (4 Litres) Eagle Compressor Oil is a non-detergent mineral oil formulated with additives to help minimize carbon build-up, increase ring life and reduce oil consumption. Regular oil changes with Eagle Compressor Oil will increase performance and life expectancy. Manufact

• Eagle RECIPROCATING, 13 Ready to Start • If the above checklist has been completed and all of the conditions are satisfied, you can now open the manual vent valve to atmosphere and start the compressor. • Look/listen for unusual noise, failure to compress, vibration, belt slippage or overheating. If a problem is spotted stop the compressor and correct the problem. (See trouble-shooting guide.) • Close manual vent valve slowly and allow pressure to build. Do not let pressure exceed the unload point or stop point; hold pressure at the point where the compressor should unload with the pilot valve, or should stop with the pressure switch.

• Eagle RECIPROCATING, 14 Two-Stage Compressors During the downstroke of the piston of a two-stage compressor, air is forced into the first stage cylinder by atmospheric pressure through an inlet filter and an intake valve in the head of the compressor. When the piston reaches the bottom of the stroke, the intake valve closes. During the upstroke of the piston, the air is compressed, the discharge valve opens and the compressed air is delivered to the second stage through finned intercooler tubes where the heat created by the compressor is allowed to dissipate. The cooled compressed air is then forced into the second-stage cylinder via an intake valve. The second-stage cyl
