FOREWORD
The contents of this manual are considered to be proprietary and confidential to Doosan Infracore Portable Power
(herein referred to as “Portable Power”).

Nothing contained in this document is intended to extend any promise, warranty or representation, expressed or
implied, regarding the Portable Power products described herein. Any such warranties or other terms and
conditions of sale of products shall be in accordance with the standard terms and conditions of sale for such
products, which are available upon request.

This manual contains instructions and technical data to cover all routine operation and scheduled maintenance
tasks by operation and maintenance staff. Major overhauls are outside the scope of this manual and should be
referred to an authorized Portable Power service department.

All components, accessories, pipes and connectors added to the compressed air system should be:

S of good quality, procured from a reputable manufacturer and, wherever possible, be of a type approved by
Portable Power.
S clearly rated for a pressure at least equal to the machine maximum allowable working pressure.
S compatible with the compressor lubricant/coolant.
S accompanied with instructions for safe installation, operation and maintenance.

Details of approved equipment are available from Portable Power Service departments.
The use of repair parts other than those included within the Portable Power approved parts list may create
hazardous conditions over which Portable Power has no control. Therefore, Portable Power cannot be held
responsible for equipment in which non--approved repair parts are installed.

Portable Power reserves the right to make changes and improvements to products without notice and without
incurring any obligation to make such changes or add such improvements to products sold previously.

The intended uses of this machine are outlined below and examples of unapproved usage are also given. However,
Portable Power cannot anticipate every application or work situation that may arise. If in doubt, consult
supervision.

This machine has been designed and supplied for above ground operation to be used for compression of normal
ambient air containing no additional gases, vapors or particles within the ambient temperature range specified in
the general data section of this manual.

This machine should not be used:

A. For direct or indirect human consumption of the compressed air.

B. Outside the ambient temperature range specified in the general data section of this manual.

C. When an actual or foreseeable risk of hazardous levels of flammable gases or vapors exists.

D. With other than Portable Power approved components.

E. With guards, or controls or switches missing or disabled.

F. For storage or transportation of materials inside or on the enclosure.

This company accepts no responsibility for errors in translation of this manual from the original English version.

You as the customer are expected to provide certain service and maintenance items. Your Portable Power dealer
will provide all other more detailed service and maintenance items on a special preventive maintenance schedule
for each machine. It is very important that the minimum service and maintenance requirements explained in this
manual be performed at the required intervals. Exceeding these intervals may reduce the reliability of the machine.

Book 46497806 (2/09) (3)


The purpose of this manual is to train the operator with functions, operation, and basic service and maintenance
requirements of the compressor. During the preparation of this manual, every effort was made to ensure the
adequacy and accuracy of the contents.

Your Portable Power dealer will assist with setup and initial startup of the compressor. He will also provide brief
operating and service instructions and will insure that a copy of this manual is included with the machine. Before
starting the compressor, this manual and instructions should be carefully read to obtain a thorough knowledge of
the duties to be performed. Please take pride in the compressor, keep it clean, and in good mechanical condition.

To enable proper maintenance records, Portable Power provides a Noise Emission Control Maintenance Log Book
(PCD Form 685) with each compressor shipped from the factory. This Log Book contains a recommended
schedule and space so that the serviceman can note what service and maintenance was done, by whom, where,
and when.

Electric Brake Adjustment:

Brakes should be adjusted (1) after the first 200 miles


of operation when the brake shoes and drums have
“seated”, (2) at 3000 mile intervals, (3) or as use and
performance requires. The brakes should be adjusted
in the following manner:

1. Jack up trailer and secure on adequate capacity


jack stands. Check that the wheel and drum rotate
freely.

2. Remove the adjusting hole cover from the adjust-


ing slot on the bottom of the brake backing plate.

3. With a screwdriver or standard adjusting tool, ro-


tate the starwheel of the adjuster assembly to expand
the brake shoes. Adjust the brake shoes out until the
pressure of the linings against the drum makes the
wheel very difficult to turn.

4. Then rotate the starwheel in the opposite direction


until the wheel turns freely with a slight lining drag.

5. Replace the adjusting hole cover and lower the


wheel to the ground.

6. Repeat above procedures on all brakes.
