PERSONAL SAFETY
The installation, operation and maintenance of the compressor should be carried out by trained
personnel who are familiar with the contents of this instruction manual.
Unauthorised remodelling or modification of the compressor may result in a safety hazard, and are not
permitted.
Before any form of work is commenced on the compressor the electrical power must be turned off at
the starter panel and at the main switchboard, and the switch on the main switchboard must be
marked with a notice indicating that repair work is in progress. The discharge valve of the compressor
must be closed, and the pressure must be released in all pressurised parts of the compressor.
The safety valve and any other safety equipment must be inspected regularly. Damaged components
should be replaced with new, original parts. Adjustment of the safety valves shall only be carried out
by authorised personnel. The compressor must never be used if the safety equipment is defective.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This is a two cylinder, one stage compressor. The cylinders are fitted in a V-shape at 90° angle to
each other. Cylinders and compressed air coolers are air-cooled by a built in fan.
The compressor and motor are normally supplied fitted together on a strong bedplate. The compressor
and motor are connected by means of a heavy duty flexible coupling.
All the materials used are of first class quality, thoroughly tested and in accordance with the
requirements of the classification societies.
Instrumentation is supplied in accordance with classification society requirements and if desired the
compressor can be fitted with equipment for fully automatic operation.
Bearings and cylinder walls are splash lubricated. The oil level in the sump can be checked through a
sight glass. An automatic low oil level alarm can be supplied as an optional extra.
The compressor unit can be supplied either for bolting directly to the foundation, or for flexible
installation by means of resilient mountings fitted under the bedplate.

INSTALLATION
When the compressor is being installed, it is of the greatest importance to ensure that there are no
distortion of the bedplate. The compressor and motor are normally supplied ready-fitted to the
bedplate. In cases where the motor is installed separately, alignment must be carried out with great
care.
1. Use vernier callipers to check that the distance between the coupling halves is equal around the
whole circumference. The distance between the coupling halves should be 33 ± 1 mm. The exact
distance is not important, but it must be the same all around the coupling.
2. When angular alignment has been checked as described above, check for parallel displacement,
using a dial gauge mounted on a magnetic base. Measure the parallel displacement around the
circumference. Displacement must not exceed ± 0,05 mm.
In order to ensure trouble-free operation it is important that the foundation is well stiffened and free
from vibrations from other installed machinery. This applies to rigid mounting and flexible mounting
alike.
A well-dimensioned fresh air duct must be provided to the location where the compressor is installed.
The mouth of the duct should be as close as practically possible to the suction side of the cooling fan.
In principle the pipe from the compressor to the air reservoir should be arranged as shown in the
installation diagram supplied with the compressor.
If the compressor unit is installed with resilient mountings, a flexible hose must be installed in the
compressed air pipe.
If the pipe from compressor to reservoir is longer than about 10 meters, the dimensions shown in the
installation diagram supplied with compressor should be somewhat increased to ensure the lowest
possible air resistance.

STARTING UP
Before initial starting up and after long periods out of use, carry out the following operations in the
sequence given:
OPERATION
During operation, pressures and temperatures must be within the recommended limits. Any deviation
is abnormal and it’s cause should be ascertained by means of the fault tracing chart. In the case of
pressure or temperature deviations, it is recommended first to check the values with new
thermometers and pressure gauges in order to ensure that the fault is not to be found in the
instruments.
STOPPING
If the compressor is to remain unused for a long period, lubricate valves and cylinder walls with oil.
The compressor should be turned over from time to time.
Valves
The valves should be checked and/or replaced according to the service intervals described in the table
on page 13. Only complete valves are available.
LP valve
To remove the valve, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen pipe connections.
2. Loosen and remove cylinder head.
3. Loosen the bolts holding the valve in place on the cylinder head.
Apply thread locking fluid on the threads when mounting the two valve studs (part no. 42820).
After the first warm running the two M8 cup nuts should be re-tightened with 24Nm.

Instruction manual for compressor type LL2/105A
Important: The valves are an essential part of the compressor and it is important for
operational safety that all parts have the correct material specifications and machining
tolerances. Even the smallest defect in a valve component may lead to overheating and
consequent damage. The supplier accepts no responsibility for damage to the compressor
resulting from the use of non-original parts.
Only original Sperre copper gaskets can be used as valve seating gaskets. Exact dimensions
and correct hardness are of great importance for trouble free operation.
Cylinder head nuts should be tightened a little at a time, in sequence, to prevent unsymmetrical load
on the valve.

Crankshaft bearings
Dismantle as follows:
1. Remove the outer ring from the connecting rod, using a hydraulic press.
2. Remove the inner ring from the crankpin by heating it rapidly with a welding torch, then push it off
the pin by means of a screwdriver or the like. If necessary, grind a notch in it to reduce its tension.
3. Fit a new outer ring to the connecting rod by using a hydraulic press.
4. To fit the inner ring, heat it in an oil bath or on an electric hotplate to 80 – 100 °C before sliding it
onto the pin.
Dismantle as follows:
1. Remove seeger rings.
2. Press out the gudgeon pin. If necessary, heat the piston slightly.
3. Use a hydraulic press to remove and re-install the gudgeon pin bearing in the connecting rod.
Important: Check that there is axial play between connecting rod and piston after installation.
Main bearings
Dismantle as follows:
1. Remove the grille from the front of the fan, loosen the air deflector from base and manifold and
pull the deflector backwards over the electric motor.
2. Remove fan and flywheel.
3. Loosen the cooler pipe from the manifold, cylinder head and lower clamps.
4. Dismantle cylinders, pistons and connecting rods as described under "Piston and connecting rod".
5. Loosen bearing housing nuts. Pull the bearing housing and crankshaft clear of the crankcase.
6. Remove the internal seeger rings in the bearing housing and pull the crankshaft complete with
bearings out of the bearing housing.
7. Pull the bearings off the shaft.
8. Check that the oil sealing ring in the bearing housing is not damaged.
Before fitting the bearings, heat them in an oil bath to about 100°C. Ensure that the seeger rings are
correctly placed in their respective slots.

Coolers
To ensure trouble-free operation it is of the greatest importance to ensure that the coolers are kept
clean and free of foreign matter at all times. If the coolers are not kept properly clean, high air
temperatures will result, with a consequent reduction of working life of valves and cylinders.
The coolers can be externally cleaned by spraying on a good grease solvent and then blowing them
clean with compressed air.
In the case of heavy deposits of dirt the coolers should be dismantled for external and internal
cleaning.
If the cooler is clogged and has carbon deposit inside, the cooler must be replaced.
Important: Make sure that the cleaning products are suitable for use on copper pipes.
Gaskets
In order to achieve satisfactory operation it is recommended to replace gaskets at every overhaul.
Worn or damaged gaskets will reduce compressor capacity and cause faulty operation.
Cylinders
Cylinder diameter: ø105mm
Maximum allowed cylinder diameter: ø105,25mm

MAINTENANCE ROUTINES
The following is a guideline for a normal maintenance schedule. However, the compressors operating
conditions vary widely from installation to installation and it is therefore important to adapt the
maintenance schedule to the experience of the individual operator.
Change lubricating oil. Drain the sump while the oil is warm, clean the sump thoroughly before filling
with fresh oil.
Daily inspection:
Make a quick general inspection of the whole compressor (in normal operation) and specially check
the following:
