Safety

This manual contains vital information for the safe use and efficient

operation of this unit. Carefully read the operators manual before starting

the unit. Failure to adhere to the instructions could result in serious bodily

injury or property damage.

Every American Eagle Compressor will
provide safe and dependable service if
operated according to instructions. Read
and understand the safety precautions
given in this manual and on the decals
attached to the shields. Failure to do so can
result in personal injury or equipment
damage.

Operators and maintenance personnel must
always comply with the safety precautions.
These precautions are given here for your
safety. Review them carefully before
operating the compressor and befor
performing maintenance or repairs.

Supervising personnel should develop
additional precautions relating to the
specific work area and local safety
regulations.

before energizing the hydraulic power
source. Be sure all hose connections are
tight, both air and hydraulic.

Establish a training program for all operators
to ensure safe operation.

Do not operate the compressor unless
thoroughly trained or under the supervision
of an instructor.

operly assembled.

Precautions

Always wear safety equipment such as
goggles, ear plugs and head protection at
all times when operating the compressor.

Do not inspect or clean the compressor
while the hydraulic power source is
connected. Accidental engagement of the
tool can cause serious injury.

Before perfor

hydraulic power source or disconnect the
hoses from the compressor motor to prevent
accidental startup of the compressor.

The surface of the air compressor and the
plumbing between the compressor and the
cooler may reach temperatures above 150
degrees. Touching these surfaces during
operation can cause burns.

The air taken in by the air compressor must
be free of flammable fumes and vapors.

Compressor speed should not exceed 1300
RPM.

Use and operate this air compressor only in
full compliance with all pertinent O.S.H.A.
requirements and all Federal, State and
Local codes or requirements.

Operation

General Operation Notes

Each compressor is bench tested under load at the factory to ensure proper break-in and
operation. While it is not necessary to follow any break-in procedure, the following checks
should be made before putting the unit into service and periodically during use.

Before Start-Up

Check the oil level in the compressor with the dipstick on the unit. If oil is needed, use
American Eagle synthetic compressor oil (P/N C0087) or an equivalent synthetic oil.

There may be oil left in the crankcase from the factory bench test. Overfilling may cause
the compressor to back blow oil. Always check the oil level and fill to the designated
marking on the dipstick before putting the unit into service.

Check the air intake filters on each head to make certain that they are clean and
unobstructed. Dirty air filters ar

e a possible cause of reduced air output.

Note:

To use the compressor, start the engine and engage the hydraulic system with the
compr
function automatically. Once engaged, adjust the engine speed control to ensure that the
compressor speed does not exceed 1300 RPM under load.

SHD-132 Operation Notes

If adjustment is necessary for cable operated speed controls, loosen the jam nut on the
cable end, make the adjustment and retighten the jam nut.

For electronic operated speed controls, adjust speed adjustment screw as needed to set
RPM.

For setting engine RPM through the chassis ECM, contact local chassis dealer.

When the air pressure falls below 120 PSI, the 12 volt electric solenoid opens allowing
hydraulic oil to flow to the hydraulic drive motor then back to the manifold and through
the oil cooler assembly. Once the air pressure reaches 150 PSI the solenoid closes shutting
off the oil flow to the motor and diverts the oil to the oil cooler.

With the compressor engaged, the main cooling system, which consists of an oil cooler,
electric fan motor and fan continually runs drawing ambient air through the cooler fins

Torque and Procedure Chart

Pulsation Chamber Assembly

Torque Value: 31 FT. LBS.

Procedure: See Head Installation Procedure Section

Head Assembly

Torque Value: 31 FT. LBS.

Procedure: Assemble both heads on the cylinders with head bolts started only, not tight. Set
pulsation chamber in place between heads, making sure the “O” ring is in place in each
head. Screw the (4) chamber mounting bolts down but not tight. Snug (6) head bolts in
each head to light torque. Tighten (4) chamber bolts to 31 Ft-lbs. torque. Tighten (6) head
bolts in each head to 31 Ft-lbs. torque, doing the (2) long center bolts first and the (4) short
bolts last. After five hours of use re-torque bolts to 31 Ft-lbs.

Cylinder Assembly

Torque Value: 31 FT. LBS.

Procedure: After assembling cylinder over pistons and setting into place, tighten (6) cap
screws finger tight. In a criss-cross pattern, tighten bolts evenly so all bolts are hand snug.
