the compressor is connected is certified to withstand the pres-
sure and/or vacuum produced.
2.
Verify adequately sized relief valves have been fitted to protect
the vessel. Do not use solvents or inflammable products for
cleaning the pipelines and the accessories.

Gas/air mixtures which are potentially volatile/explosive must
not be introduced or allowed to be introduced into the compressor.
4.
All pressure vessel and piping connected to the compressor must
be isolated and in a safe operating condition.
5.
Operators should wear ear protection when operating truck
mounted compressors.
6.
There are components within the compressor of sufficient weight
to cause injury if mishandled. Use proper lifting devices as
necessary.
7.
Where necessary, this equipment should be grounded to
control static electricity.

The temperature of the air leaving the compressor is elevated
above ambient due to air compression. Check that the eleva-
ted temperatures do not adversely affect the product and any
material used in design of the system. Attach clearly marked
warning signs to warn of potentially hot surfaces on the com-
pressor, piping and accessories which will burn if touched.
