pressure switch signal to re-start). Switch off the main
electrical switch, shut off the discharge valve and vent
all pressurized sections before attempting to
dismantle such components.
Keep all persons away from the discharge opening of
hoses, tools accessories during venting. Do not use air
pressure above 2 Bars (30 Psi) for blow cleaning
purposes, and without use of proper protective
equipment as per OSHA Standard Section 29 CFR
1910.242 (b). Do not engage in horseplay with hoses
as serious injury or death may result.
Drain daily the condensate from the air receiver, as it
may accelerate the internal rusting and corrosion of
the receiver.
3. Fire and Explosion
Clean up oil spills immediately, if and when it occurs.
Shut off the air compressor and allow it to cool. Keep
sparks, flame and other sources of ignition away and
do not allow smoking in the vicinity when checking,
and draining or adding oil. Do not permit liquids such
as airline anti-icer system anti-freeze compound, or oil
film or any other combustible substance to accumulate
on any external or internal surfaces of the compressor.
Wipe down with aqueous industrial cleaner or steam
to clean as required. Do not use flammable solvents
for cleaning purposes.
Disconnect the power supply prior to attempting any
repair or cleaning. Tag the power supply to avoid
unexpected start by someone else.
Keep electrical wiring, including terminals, in good
condition. Replace any wiring that has cracked, cut,
abraded or otherwise degraded insulation or terminals
that are worn, discolored and corroded. Keep all
terminals clean and tight.
Keep grounded conductive objects such as tools, away
from exposed live electrical parts such as terminals, to
avoid arcing, which might serve as a source of
ignition.
Do not attempt to weld on the pressure vessels or any
other parts or to the piping. Any such works or repairs
can only be made by certified technicians and with
prior written approval of the manufacturer.
Keep a suitable BC or ABC fire extinguisher(s) nearby
while servicing and operating the compressor. Keep
oil, rags, trash, leaves litter and other combustibles
away from the compressor.
Do not spray volatile materials into the compressor
intake, as serious damage to the compressor and
personal injury or death may result.
4. Moving
Parts
Keep Hands, arms and other parts of the body and
clothing away from the belts, pulleys and other
moving parts. Do not attempt to operate the
compressor with the belt guard removed.
Wear snug fitting clothing and confine long hair when
working around the compressor, especially when
exposed to hot and /or moving parts. Make sure all
persons are clear of the compressor prior to
attempting to operate it.
Make adjustments only when the compressor is shut
off. When necessary, make adjustments, than start
the compressor to check if the adjustment. If
incorrect, shut the compressor, blow down the air, re-
adjust, than re-start to check the adjustment.
Keep hands, feet, floors, controls and walking surfaces
clean and free from oil, water, anti freeze, or other
liquids to minimize the possibility of slips, falls and
shock hazard.
5. Hot Surfaces, Sharp Edges and Sharp Corners.
Avoid physical contact with hot oil, hot surfaces, sharp
edges and corners. Keep all parts of the body away
from all points of air discharge and away from hot
cylinder heads, discharge pipes and intercooler
surfaces. Wear personal protective equipment,
including gloves and protective hat when working on
or around the compressor. Keep a first aid kit handy.
Seek medical assistance promptly in case of injury.
Don’t ignore small cuts and burns as they may lead to
infections.
6. Toxic and Irritating Substances
Do not use air from this compressor for breathing
unless it is equipped with proper purification
equipment and in full compliance with OSHA standard
29 CFR 1910 and any other Federal, State and local
codes and regulations.
Operate the compressor only in well ventilated areas.
Lubricants used in this compressor are typical
industrial oils designed for use in high-pressure
compressors. Accidental ingestion and skin contact
should be avoided. Wash with soap and water after
skin contact. If swallowed, seek medical treatment
promptly.
7. Electrical Shock
Keep the compressor, hoses, tools and personnel at
least 3 meters (10ft) from power lines, panels and
underground cables.
