Atlas Copco XRHS 506 XRHS 1100 CD6 XRVS 476 XRVS 1000 CD6 2010 Operators Manual

Description

If you are working on an Atlas Copco XRHS 506, XRHS 1100 CD6, XRVS 476, XRVS 1000 CD6 2010 Operators Manual portable compressor and you do not have the factory paper, you are gambling. I have seen too many guys guess at torque values or skip the safety section because “it is just a compressor.” Then an oil line lets go or a safety valve sticks, and you lose a day. This 2010 manual is 114 pages of what you actually need. It covers all four models with the C13 Tier 3 engine. Page 4 lays out the liability terms – read that first.

Safety Precautions: Why This Chapter Is Not Optional

Chapter 1 runs from page 9 through page 16. It covers general precautions, transport, installation, use, maintenance, and tool applications. There is a specific safety section for the XRHS 506 and XRVS 476 that includes lockout/tagout procedures for the regulating system. Page 5 shows the index so you can jump straight to 1.7 if you need electrical lockout. Ignoring these pages means you are working blind on a machine that can store 150 psi of compressed air. That is a liability. I tell every junior tech: start here.

Leading Particulars: Understanding the Compressor’s Systems

Chapter 2 runs from page 18. It gives you the general description, markings, main parts, and the regulating system. Section 2.4 breaks down the air flow, oil system, and continuous regulating system. You need to understand how the oil separator works before you touch the filters. The manual includes a diagram of the electric system (section 2.5) that shows the battery switch and control panel wiring. Without this, you are chasing shorts.

Operating Instructions: Starting, Stopping, and Fault Codes

Chapter 3 covers parking, towing, lifting, preheater (option), and start/stop procedures. Section 3.4.9 lists fault codes. If the compressor shuts down with a code like E05, you look it up here instead of guessing which sensor failed. The emergency stop procedure is in 3.4.11. Towing instructions are in 3.1.2 – note the towbar levelling option on page [DATA NEEDED] if you have the hitch. I have pulled too many units out of ditches because someone skipped the parking brake adjustment. Page 4 of the manual also reminds you that modifications void liability.

Maintenance Schedule and Fluid Specs

Chapter 4 is the longest section. It includes preventive maintenance schedule (4.5), oil specifications for both compressor and engine (4.6.1 and 4.6.2), coolant specs with PARCOOL EG (4.9), battery care (4.13), and compressor element overhaul (4.14). The oil and filter change intervals are in the schedule table. Do not mix oil types – the manual calls for specific viscosity, which is listed in 4.6.1. I always check the coolant level after a long run; section 4.11.3 shows how to replace it without air locks.

Adjustments and Torque Values

Chapter 5 goes into adjustments for the continuous regulating system (5.1), air filters (5.2), safety valve (5.3), fuel system (5.4), and brake adjustments for both ABS and non-ABS wagons (5.5). Section 8.1.1 lists general torque values, and 8.1.2 lists critical torque values for the compressor element and engine mounts. You need those critical specs if you are pulling the compressor head. Page 73 is where the torque table starts – do not trust a generic chart for these fasteners. Aftermarket manuals often omit the critical torque column. This one has it.

Does This Manual Cover the Fuel System?

Yes. Section 5.4 covers the fuel system, including priming instructions and replacing filter elements. It also references the engine manual for injector timing but gives you the filter part numbers and bleeding procedure specific to the C13 Tier 3. If you need the priming pump location, it is diagrammed in 5.4.1.

Source Validity: OEM vs Aftermarket

This is the factory Atlas Copco Operators Manual, part number 2964 2510 00, printed in 01/2010. It is identical to what came bolted to the machine. Aftermarket versions cut the safety section, change torque values, and re-draw wiring diagrams that cause ground loops. I have seen a tech use an aftermarket manual for an XRVS 1000 CD6 and miss the critical torque for the oil cooler bolts – resulted in a leak and a fire risk. Spend the two minutes to access this OEM file instead of fixing their mistakes.

While this manual covers the compressor operation, if you need general knowledge about Manual Transmission systems, that is a separate topic. The same goes for Manual Transmission on tow vehicles – not covered here.

Which models are covered by this manual?

The XRHS 506, XRHS 1100 CD6, XRVS 476, and XRVS 1000 CD6 with C13 Tier 3 engine. All four.

Does it include torque values?

Yes, section 8.1 has general and critical torque values for fasteners. You need these for the compressor element and engine mounts.

Is this the factory manual or an aftermarket copy?

This is an official Atlas Copco Operators Manual published in 2010. It is the same document that comes with the machine. Aftermarket manuals often miss critical safety warnings and use generic torque specs. This one has the OEM part number 2964 2510 00 and includes the full safety precautions, maintenance schedules, and wiring diagrams. Do not trust a third-party knockoff when your equipment safety is on the line.

How many pages is the manual?

114 pages.

If you need the real thing instead of a photocopy that skips the safety sections, Access the Factory Manual. That PDF is exactly what your compressor came with. No generic charts, no missing pages. I have torqued enough head bolts to know the difference.
