Introduction
* The most indispensable for human existence is air.
* Nature has given this abundantly in atmosphere.
* Man converts air in to energy for some useful work.
* IR is one such industry who knows the value of air.
* We have made research on compressed air for ages.
* Compressed air has many use full things to do.
1. Flushing of Drilled holes.
2. Combustion in an IC Engine.
3. To blow air in a tube of a vehicle.
4. For a pneumatic tool operation.
5 For Oxygen in an intensive care unit etc.
Our application:- Drill - Flush - Cable lay

Purpose
To Blow air out of system
to maintain atmospheric
pressure in system
Working principle
* In full load/ Idle no Action on the Diaphragm
* Spring force retain ball in closed position
* In Blow down position Pilot pressure activates diaphragm
* Ball is pressed against the spring pressure
* Exhaust port gets opened and air is relived through this port

INTRODUCTION
62
Training Department
CAUTION
* No warranty for any unauthorized modifications.
* While on Service function of any kind
* Disconnect Battery cables
* Open manual Blow down valve
* Ensure no pressure in discharge piping
* Avoid coming in contact with the hot surface
* Never operate machine in guard open condition
* Both Metric and British system is used in design
63
Training Department
COMPRESSOR OIL LEVEL
* Oil level should be mid way of the sight glass
* Do not over fill, drain excess oil filled
* Add oil only when the level drops down near
bottom
AIR FILTER ELEMENT
Daily maintenance required
Dust collection box may be allowed only half fill.
Replace filter once Red indication is seen
Short of new element used cleaned old element
64
Training Department
CAUTION
* Never Remove and Replace element
when the compressor is running
* Never use compressed air to blow
through the element media
* Never operate Unit with defective
safety shut down switch or by
shorting over a switch.
65
Training Department
REMOVAL AND CLEANING OF AIR FILTER ELEMENT
Clean exterior of filter housing
Remove end cap and empty dust collector box
Unscrew nut securing main element to housing
Remove element
Clean inside of housing
Clean element with 5 Bar air pressure
Mark number of services in the main element Max 3.
Safety element must not be cleaned and re used

Engine Radiator
Engine cooling avoids combustion chamber damage
To maintain operating temperature in the safe limits
To maintain efficiency of the engine
To prevent damage to moving parts
Maintenance of Radiator and oil cooler
Clean outside and fins with air . Keep the core clean
Prevent sludge and rust in ROC
Use right coolent oil not Plain water in Radiator
Air cooling is by fan ensure proper mounting of fan
Efficiency reduces when dust accumulates on fins.

Ensure the fins of the Radiator and oil cooler is clean and not chocked
Ensure the throttle cylinder orifice is clean air easily bleeds out
Ensure all the air and hydraulic hoses are tightened and secured properly
Ensure all the thermal cut outs like ADT, EOT, EWT, etc are proper
Ensure no air leakage in the air lines and replace damaged parts
Periodically make a walk around test and ensure all bolts/ nuts are secured
Check for the cleanliness of oil in the separator and other areas.
