If any sound-damping material is damaged,
replace it to prevent the sound pressure level from
increasing.
14 Use only lubricating oils and greases
recommended or approved by Atlas Copco or the
machine manufacturer. Ascertain that the
selected lubricants comply with all applicable
safety regulations, especially with regard to
explosion or fire-risk and the possibility of
decomposition or generation of hazardous gases.
Never mix synthetic with mineral oil.
15 Protect the engine, alternator, air intake filter,
electrical and regulating components, etc., to
prevent moisture ingress, e.g. when steam-
cleaning.
16 When performing any operation involving heat,
flames or sparks on a machine, the surrounding
components shall first be screened with non-
flammable material.
17 Never use a light source with open flame for
inspecting the interior of a machine.
18 Disconnect –battery-clamp before starting
electrical servicing or welding (evt. turn battery-
switch in “off” position).
19 When repair has been completed, the machine
shall be barred over at least one revolution for
reciprocating machines, several revolutions for
rotary ones to ensure that there is no mechanical
interference within the machine or driver. Check
the direction of rotation of electric motors when
starting up the machine initially and after any
alteration to the electrical connection(s) or switch
gear, to check that the oil pump and the fan
function properly.
20 Maintenance and repair work should be recorded
in an operator’s logbook for all machinery.
Frequency and nature of repairs can reveal unsafe
conditions.
21 When hot parts have to be handled, e.g. shrink
fitting, special heat-resistant gloves shall be used
and, if required, other body protection shall be
applied.
22 When using cartridge type breathing filter
equipment, ascertain that the correct type of
cartridge is used and that its useful service life is
not surpassed.
23 Make sure that oil, solvents and other substances
likely to pollute the environment are properly
disposed of.
24 Before clearing the unit for use after maintenance
or overhaul, check that operating pressures,
temperatures and speeds are correct and that the
control and shutdown devices function correctly.
TOOL APPLICATIONS SAFETY
Apply the proper tool for each job. With the
knowledge of correct tool use and knowing the
limitations of tools, along with some common sense,
many accidents can be prevented.
Special service tools are available for specific jobs
and should be used when recommended. The use of
these tools will save time and prevent damage to
parts.
