Oil Lubricated Compressors
General Safety
Information
(Continued)
Since the air compressor and other
components (filters, lubricators, hoses,
etc.) used, make up a high pressure
pumping system, the following safety
precautions must be observed at all
times:
1. Read all manuals included
with this product carefully.
Be thoroughly familiar
with the controls and the
proper use of the equipment.
2. Follow all local electrical and safety
codes as well as in the US, National
Electrical Code (NEC) and Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
3. Only persons well acquainted with
these rules of safe operation should
be allowed to use the compressor.
4. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow
children in the work area.
5. Wear safety glasses and
use hearing protection
when operating the
pump or unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the pump or
unit as a handhold.
7. Before each use, inspect compressed
air system and electrical components
for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.
Motors, electrical equipment
and controls can cause
electrical arcs that will ignite a
flammable gas or vapor. Never operate
or repair in or near a flammable gas or
vapor. Never store flammable liquids or
gases in the vicinity of the compressor.
Compressor parts may be hot
even if the unit is stopped.
9. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
10. If the equipment should start to
abnormally vibrate, STOP the
engine/motor and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
11. To reduce fire hazard, keep
engine/motor exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease.
Never
remove or
attempt to adjust safety valve. Keep
safety valve free from paint and other
accumulations.
Never attempt to repair or
modify a tank! Welding,
drilling or any other modification will
weaken the tank resulting in damage
from rupture or explosion. Always
replace worn or damaged tanks.
Drain
liquid
from tank daily.
13. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make sure
to drain tank regularly and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and corrosion.
14. Fast moving air will stir up dust and
debris which may be harmful. Release
air slowly when draining moisture or
depressurizing the compressor system.
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of open
flame or near ignition sources including
the compressor unit.
15. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
16. Use a face mask/
respirator when spraying
and spray in a well
ventilated area to
prevent health and fire hazards.
17. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to
minimize overspray accumulation
on the compressor.
18. When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
Installation
LOCATION
It is extremely important to install the
compressor in a clean, dry, and well
ventilated area. The compressor must be
placed on a firm, level surface where the
surrounding air temperature will not be
more than 100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches
between the compressor and a wall is
required because objects could obstruct
air flow.
Do not
locate the
compressor air inlet near steam, paint
spray, sandblast areas or any other
source of contamination. This debris
will damage the motor.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
All wiring
and
electrical connections should be
performed by a qualified electrician.
Installation must be in accordance with
local codes and national electrical codes.
WIRING
1. Local electrical wiring codes differ from
area to area. Source wiring, plug and
protector must be rated for at least the
amperage and voltage indicated on
motor nameplate, and meet all electrical
codes for this minimum.
2. Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit
breaker.
3. This product is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in Figure 1. Make sure the product is
connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. This
product must be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electrical
shock by providing an escape wire for
electric current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. Plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
Overheating, short circuiting and fire
damage will result from inadequate
wiring.
