Atlas Copco XAS 37 KD, XAS 70 KD, XAS 47 KD, XAS 90 KD 2010 Operators Manual

If you’re trying to keep a portable compressor running on a jobsite without a proper OEM manual, you’re flying blind. I’ve seen guys burn through engines because they guessed on oil specs. Treating a portable compressor like a car with a Manual Transmission is a mistake. This Atlas Copco XAS 37 KD, XAS 70 KD, XAS 47 KD, XAS 90 KD 2010 Operators Manual fixes that. It’s 46 pages of factory procedures, not aftermarket fluff. Period.

Safety Precautions – Page 7 Is Where It Starts

Safety starts on page 7 with the full safety precautions chapter. It covers transport, installation, operation, maintenance, and tool applications. Most aftermarket manuals gloss over this. Atlas Copco spells out every hazard. Section 1.3 (safety during transport and installation) is critical if you’re towing the unit on a highway. Section 1.7 (specific safety precautions) covers compressor-specific risks like high-pressure oil and hot surfaces. Read it before you touch a wrench.

Leading Particulars: What Each Model Includes (XAS 37 KD, XAS 70 KD, XAS 47 KD, XAS 90 KD)

Leading particulars begin on page 12. Here you get the full description of safety pictograms, markings, main parts, air flow, oil system, and the continuous regulating system. The manual explains how the oil system works with a diagram in Fig. 2.3. It also gives the electrical system circuit diagram – essential for tracing a no-start. Each model gets its own engine spec: XAS 37 KD and XAS 70 KD run the Kubota D 905; XAS 47 KD and XAS 90 KD run the Kubota D 1105. That info alone saves you from ordering the wrong parts.

3 Operating Sections That Prevent Jobsite Mistakes

Chapter 3 covers parking, towing, lifting, starting, and stopping. Section 3.1.2 (towing instructions) includes proper hitch weight and lighting requirements. The anti-frost device (option) and spillage-free undercarriage (option) are detailed. When towing, you need to follow the same caution you’d use for a Manual Transmission shift pattern. Starting procedure in 3.2.2 lists the pre-start checks – coolant level, oil level, fuel, and air filter restriction indicator. Missing one of those can cost you a compressor element.

Preventive Maintenance – Keep the Compressor Running

Chapter 4 is the meat of this manual. It covers oil checks, oil and filter changes, coolant specs (Parcool EG), battery care, tyre changes, and storage. Section 4.2 gives a preventive maintenance schedule – hourly intervals for daily checks, 500-hour intervals for oil changes. The compressor oil and filter change (section 4.5.2) lists the exact procedure for draining and refilling. Neglecting these steps leads to oil starvation and seized elements. For similar compressors, check the ATLAS COPCO XRHS/XRVS Portable Compressors Instruction Manual.

Adjustments and Servicing Procedures – Torque Values and More

Section 5 covers adjustment of the continuous regulating system, air filter cleaning, air receiver, safety valve, fuel system, brake adjustment, and drive belt for XAS 47 KD – XAS 90 KD7. The drive belt section gives tension specs. For torque values, section 8.1 lists specs for general applications and for important assemblies. Those are the numbers you need when reassembling the compressor or engine. Another manual worth having is the Atlas Copco Boomer L1 D L2 D ML2 D Mark VII 2008 Operators Manual for similar industrial gear.

Does This Manual Cover the Fuel System?

Yes. Section 5.5 covers the fuel system – cleaning the fuel tank, fuel lines, and filter replacement. It also cross-references with the engine manual for injection pump timing. The manual includes a problem-solving chapter (chapter 6) with alternator precautions and a list of available options (chapter 7).

Does this manual cover the XAS 37 KD and XAS 90 KD?

Yes, it covers all four models listed.

Can I use this for a different Atlas Copco compressor?

No. Each model has unique engine specifications and safety systems. The XAS 37 KD uses a Kubota D 905 engine; the XAS 90 KD uses a Kubota D 1105. Torque values, belt adjustments, and wiring diagrams differ. Using the wrong manual can lead to incorrect service intervals or part failures. Stick to the specific manual for your model.
