disconnecting battery cable(s) to prevent
accidental starting.
Do not use petroleum products (solvents or
fuels) under high pressure as this can
penetrate the skin and result in serious
illness. Wear eye protection while cleaning
until with compressed air to prevent debris
from injuring eye(s).
Rotating fan blade can cause serious injury.
Do not operate without guard in place.
Use care to avoid contacting hot surfaces
(engine exhaust manifold and piping, air
receiver and air discharge piping, etc.).
Ether is an extremely volatile, highly
inflammable gas. When it is specified as a
starting aid, use sparingly. DO NOT USE
ETHER IF THE MACHINE HAS GLOW
PLUGS OR INLET HEATER STARTING
AIDS OR ENGINE DAMAGE WILL RESULT.
Never operate unit with guards, covers or
screens removed. Keep hands, hair,
clothing, tools, blow gun tips, etc. well away
from moving parts.
Compressed Air
Compressed air can be dangerous if
incorrectly handled. Before doing any work
on the unit, ensure that all pressure is vented
from the system and that the machine cannot
be started accidentally.
Ensure that the machine is operating at the
rated pressure and that the rated pressure is
known to all relevant personnel.
All air pressure equipment installed in or
connected to the machine must have safe
working pressure ratings of at least the
machine rated pressure.
If more than one compressor is connected to
one common downstream plant, effective
check valves and isolation valves must be
fitted and controlled by work procedures, so
that one machine cannot accidently be
pressurised/over pressurised by another.
Compressed air must not be used for a direct
feed to any form of breathing apparatus or
mask.
High pressure Air can cause serious injury or
death. Relieve pressure before removing
filler plugs/caps, fittings or covers.
Air pressure can remain trapped in air supply
line which can result in serious injury or
death. Always carefully vent air supply line at
tool or vent valve before performing any
service.
The discharged air contains a very small
percentage of compressor lubricating oil and
care should be taken to ensure that
downstream equipment is compatible.
If the discharged air is to be ultimately
released into a confined space, adequate
ventilation must be provided.
When using compressed air always use
appropriate personal protective equipment.
All pressure containing parts, especially
flexible hoses and their couplings, must be
regularly inspected, be free from defects and
be replaced according to the Manual
instructions.
Avoid bodily contact with compressed air.
The safety valve located in the separator
tank must be checked periodically for correct
operation.
Whenever the machine is stopped, air will
flow back into the compressor system from
devices or systems downstream of the
machine unless the service valve is closed.
Install a check valve at the machine service
valve to prevent reverse flow in the event of
an unexpected shutdown when the service
valve is open.
Disconnected air hoses whip and can cause
serious injury or death. Always attach a
safety flow restrictor to each hose at the
source of supply or branch line in accordance
with OSHA Regulation 29CFR Section
1926.302(b).
