General
1.2
Introduction
In the event that measures are required above and beyond the legal regula-
tions or the data contained in these operating instructions, then it is of utmost
importance that these be carried out prior to commissioning the compressor
plant.
1.2 Introduction
The purpose of these operating instructions is to familiarize the user with the
function and all application possibilities of the compressor.
These operating instructions contain important information on how to operate
the compressor safely, economically and according to its intented use. Ob-
serving these operating instructions will assist in avoiding danger, to reduce
repair costs and down times and to increase the reliability and service life of
the compressor. It contains important information concerning the required
maintenance and repair measures, assists in case of malfunctions and con-
tains data concerning spare and wearing parts.
WARNING!
Failure to adhere to these recommendations can result in mechanical failure,
property damange and serious injury or death.
All air and water inlet as well as air and water discharge pipework to and from
the inlet and discharge port connections must be designed in such a way as
to take into account vibration, pulsations, temperature, maximum pressure
applied, corrosion and chemical resistance. In addition, it should be noted
that lubricated compressors will discharge some oil into the air stream; there-
fore, compatibility between discharge piping, system accessories and soft-
ware must be assured.
For those reasons, the use of plastic piping and soldered copper fittings as
discharge piping is not recommended. In addition, flexible joints and/or flex
lines can only be considered for such purposes if their specifications fit the
operating parameters of the system.
It is the responsibility of the installer and owner to provide the appropriate
service pipework to and from the machine.
WARNING!
Statement concerning inadvertent breathing of compressed air
exhaust.
The purchaser/user must ensure that adequate ventilation and make-up air
are provided if a non-BAP designated compressor is likely to discharge air
into a confined area harboring air consuming devices such as air motors, air
tools, solenoids, air cylinders, air guns, nozzles, etc. The compressed air dis-
charge stream may contain residual coolants/lubricants/carbon monoxide
and condensable hydrocarbons or other materials which may be hazardous
to health with prolonged inhalation.
