Do not use air from this compressor for breathing unless it is equipped with proper purification
equipment.
Make sure that Purifier Cartridge is installed inside the Purifier Housing.
Operate the compressor only in well ventilated areas. Lubricants used in this compressor are typical synthetic oil.
Accidental ingestion and skin contact should be avoided. Wash with soap and water after skin contact. If
swallowed, call for medical treatment promptly.
1.1.8 Electrical Shock
Keep the compressor, hoses, tools and personnel at least 3 meters (10 ft.) away from power lines, panel
and underground cables.
Keep all parts of the body and any hand held tools or other conductive objects away from exposed live parts of the
electrical system. Maintain dry footing, stand on insulating surfaces, and do not contact any other portion of the
compressor when making adjustments or repairs to exposed parts of the electrical system.
1.1.9 Lifting and Carrying
If you must lift the compressor, lift in full compliance with codes and regulations. Make sure entire lifting,
rigging and supporting structure has been inspected, is in good condition and has a rated capacity of at
least the net weight of the compressor. If you are unsure of the weight, check before lifting.
The distance between forklift’s forks should be sufficient for lifting if the compressor will be carried and lifted with
the forklift. Moreover, the forklift must have a rated capacity of at least the net weight of the compressor. The forks
of the F/L should be positioned under the compressor just like shown in the figure below. The height of the
compressor from the ground must be max. 10 cm. during carriage.
Do not distract the forklift operator while carriage.
Verify the lifting hook has a safety clamp, and ensure a robust fastening with tough ropes or chain. Avoid the
compressor swinging while suspended, by using guide ropes. Keep all persons clear from under and away from the
compressor when it is suspended. Lift the compressor not higher than necessary. Keep lift operator in constant
attendance whenever the compressor is suspended.
Set the compressor down on level surfaces, capable of carrying its full weight.
