You can make your own gasket using a material such as Klinger Ferrofex SP/AF-II. If this specific material is not readily available, your automotive spares dealer should be able to supply a suitable alternative, but it needs to withstand reasonably high temperatures and be somewhat compressible to seal against pressure pulses.

SOURCE: Where can I find the owner's manual for an IR Type 30 model 25T

IR has not made their owner's manuals available online. You have to contact your nearest dealer in order to get one. If you do get one, could you please consider uploading the manual to fixya.com to help other people who a looking for the same thing.

SOURCE: need to know how to adjust pressure regulator for low/high limits

sorry to be contradictory here, but better not to mislead or scare someone... Thepressure relief valve has absolutly nothing to do with cut in cut out pressure settings.the pressure relief valve is abrass fitting on the outside of the tank hexagonal fitting with a thin shaft coming out of the centre normaly with a ring on it not unlike akey ring .THAT is a blow off valve a safety device, that long before the air pressure is too great for the tank,will blow offthe air pressure in the tank ,try it, grab the ring and pull it out and it will dis charge any air in the tank ,that ios what it will do if thair is too great in the tank.. tanks are pressure tested and the appropriate valve fitted. NOW FOR YOUR ORIGINAL PROBLEM .you will find a control box ,useualy black or dark brown bakerlite cover,the electric cord goes into it ,also there will be another electric cord coming out and going to the electric motor that drives the compressor . If you take the cover off this you will find the cut in and cut out adjustments that allow you to set the cut in and cut out pressure as high or low as you want,that is whith in the capascity of the unit.It is self explanitory and there will be ( or should be ) instructions inside the cover .If you have any difficulty come back to me preferably with themotor and compressor sizes and i will walk you through it NOW AS MUCH AS THIS GOES AGAINST THE GRAIN, SHAG79 IT WOULD BE FAR BETTER IF YOU KNEW A BIT MORE ABOUT THE THINGS YOU ARE ADVISING THEM ABOUT EXPLOSIONS AND DEATH !!! WHAT ARE YOU-----A ******???

SS5LS slow bulding pressure

typically on a ss5L5 the head gasket has gone bad. Disconnect tubing and remove the 6 bolts on the head . gently tap the head and valve plate. Mark these pieces before dis assembly for assembly. If you pick up both pieces as one , turn them over you will probably see a piece of the gasket missing at the smallest point between the 2 cylinders this gasket needs to be replaced. You can purchase a head and valve plate gasket or make the one you need if handy with tools. I've done it both ways.

AIR LEAKS CONTINUOUSLY OUT THE CRANKCASE VENT WHEN COMPRESSOR IS NOT RUNNING.

Sounds like a bad reed valve which are a part of the head gasket for a compressor. You can order the head gasket through IR or Grainger. But you need to have a Tech look at it. have a good day!
