SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

For equipment covered specifically or indirectly in this instruction book, it is important that all personnel observe safetyprecautions to minimize the chances of injury. Among many considerations, the following should particularly be noted:

x Rotating shafts can be dangerous. You can snag clothes, skin, hair, hands, etc. This can cause serious injury or death.x Do not work under the vehicle when the engine is running.x Do not engage or disengage driven equipment by hand from under the vehicle when the engine is running.x If power take off and/or shaft are still exposed after installation, install a guard.x Install a support strap when servicing a drive shaft to prevent personal injury.x A serious or fatal injury can occur . . .�� if you lack proper training�� if you fail to follow proper procedures�� if you do not use proper tools and safety equipment�� if you use incompatible drive line components�� if you use worn-out or damaged drive line components�� if you use drive line components in a non-approved application.

x This manual contains safety instructions. Read, understand and follow this manual.�� Get proper training�� Learn and follow safe operating procedures�� Use proper tools and safety equipment�� Use proper components in good condition

TYPICAL CIRCUIT

P40 Compressor

Relief Valve: Sized to protect compressor. A suitable trailer relief should beprovided to protect the trailer.

Check Valve: Prevents backflow into the compressor

3 Way Ball Valve: Used to either supply air to the trailer or vent compressor deliveryair. Never install a two way ball valve in line as this will dead headthe compressor causing damage.

Oil Fill Procedure

! CAUTION1. Unscrew and remove the oil fill plug.

2. Slowly fill the crankcase until the lubricant reaches the top thread of the oil fill opening

and the top of the sight glass.

3. Replace the oil fill plug HAND TIGHT ONLY

Note : Crankcase Capacity is 1 liter (34 fl ounces)

Do not operate without lubricant or with inadequate lubricant.

FullAdd

Hydraulic Motor Alignment

Parallel to 0.015”

Max 1 Degree

Place shims under compressor toaccommodate angular alignment

Motor can be adjusted -up/down and left/right

Align using a straight edgeacross the top of the flanges.

Recommended Lubricants

x Ingersol Rand 1 quart synthetic - Part # 376-003x Paragon petroleum-based oil 1 quart - Part # 409-003

If you use a petroleum-based compressor lubricant at start-up and decide to convert toIngersol Rand synthetic compressor lubricant the compressor valves must be decarbonizedand the crankcase flushed before conversion.

Mounting

x The Maximum compound driveline angleis 11 degrees.

x The compressor driveshaft and the PTOdriveshaft should be parallel within 2degrees (A)

x The drive shaft should have a “U” bolthanger installed for safety.

To ensure correct mounting follow the recommendations below :

Power Take Off

x Horsepower and torque should be adequate for compressor rpm and pressurex Select a ratio that will provide desired compressor speed and engine rpmx Choose either 6 or 8-bolt side of transmission to provide adequate space for installation.

Constant Engine Speed

x To protect compressor against over speed and to provide an efficient offload the selectedengine speed must remain constant through the compressor discharge cycle.

Relief Valve

x If not using the Paragon mounting kit, size the relief valve for correct CFM and pressure.x Install at the compressor prior to the check valve.

Check Valve

x Must be suitable for reciprocating compressors and sized for maximum CFM of machine(see chart).

x The Paragon check valve has a 1/4” port that can be used for a pressure gauge. Ensure theplug is tight if not using a pressure guage.

Driveshaft

x The P40 is supplied with a 1310 series or 1100 series drive flange.x The compressor drive flange should be tapped lightly onto the shaft and then secured using thebolt supplied.

x The drive flange securing bolt is a LEFT HAND THREAD and should be torqued to 21-23 ft/lbs.
