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.

The SHD-66DD Hydraulic Air 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 before performing maintenance or repairs.

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

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 performing any maintenance on the compressor, place a warning tag on the hydraulic power source or disconnect the hoses from the compressor motor to prevent accidental startup of the compressor.

Always connect hoses to the compressor 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.

Do not operate the compressor if it is damaged, improperly adjusted or not completely or properly assembled.

Never operate the compressor with any of the guards removed.

Do not attempt to adjust or disable the compressors air pressure relief valve. This valve limits the air pressure to 175 PSI.

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 1000 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

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

Inspect unit for any visible signs of damage.

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.

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 hoses (air and hydraulic) for weak or worn condition and make sure that all connections are secure.

Check the air intake filters on each head to make certain that they are clean and unobstructed. Dirty air filters are a possible cause of reduced air output.

Note: There may be oil

General Information

To use the compressor, start the vehicle engine and engage the hydraulic system. The compressor can now be activated using the compressor switch. This energizes the hydraulic solenoid sending oil to the hydraulic drive motor and starts the compressor. Through the air pressure switch and pilot valve, the system will now function automatically. Once engaged, adjust the engine speed control to ensure that the compressor speed does not exceed 1000 RPM under load. Adjustment instructions are provided with the speed control unit.

Air Pilot Valve Operation (Head Unloading System)

When the hydraulic system is engaged the compressor will pump air into the receiver until the pressure reaches 175 psi. air pilot valve senses the pressure in the receiver and engages an intake valve hold-open mechanism. The compressor will run free until the pressure in the receiver falls below 145 psi and the air pressure valve disengages the intake valve hold-open mechanism to allow the

At this time the

compressor to pump air. See head unloading system for detailed views and adjustment instructions on the next page.

Operating Notes:

This reciprocating compressor must not be used for breathing air. To do so will cause serious injury whether air is supplied direct from the compressor source or to breathing tanks for later use. Any and all liabilities for damage or loss due to injuries, death and/or property damage, including consequential damages stemming from the use of this compressor to supply breathing air will be disclaimed by the manufacturer.

The use of this compressor as a booster pump and/or to compress a medium other than atmospheric air is strictly non-approved and can result in equipment damage and/or injury approved uses will also void the warranty.

Never use plastic pipe or improperly rated metal pipe. Improper piping materials can burst and cause injury or property damage.

(See Air Pilot Valve Adjustment Detail) High Pressure Adjustment: Proceed with the following while the compressor is running.

1.) Loosen locknut (4) and back off several turns. Do not turn differential adjuster (3).

2.) Check reading on the tank pressure gauge. Set the compressor maximum pressure at 175 psi. Over pressurizing compressor will cause damage and

Differential Pressure Adjustment: Proceed with the following while the compressor is running.

1.) Loosen locknut (2) and back off several turns.

2.) Check reading on the tank pressure gauge. Set the pressure to 30 psi differential (unload at 175 psi, reload at 145 psi). Turn nut (3) clockwise to increase differential pressure or counterclockwise to decrease differential pressure.
