Safety Steps (Continued)
1.
Make sure repairs are done in a
clean, dry, well lighted and
ventilated area.
2.
When cleaning, use air pressure less
than 30 psig (2.1bar). Also use
effective chip guarding and personal
protective equipment per OSHA
standard 29 CFR 1910.242 (b).
3.
Relieve all internal pressure prior to
opening any line, fitting, hose, valve,
drain plug, connection or other
component, such as filters and line
oilers, and before refilling optional
air line anti-icer systems with
antifreeze compound.
4.
Keep sound reducing material, any
external surfaces of the air
compressor or internal surfaces of
the enclosure free from fluids and
build-up. Clean with water based
industrial cleaner or steam clean as
necessary. Remove then replace
sound reducing materials as needed
to clean all surfaces. Immediately
replace any sound reducing material
with torn or punctured protective
covering to prevent accumulation of
liquids or build-up inside the
material. NEVER use flammable
solvents for cleaning purposes.
5.
Keep electrical wiring, including all
terminals and pressure connectors in
good condition. Replace any wiring
that has cracked, cut, or otherwise
damaged insulation. Replace
terminals that are worn, discolored or
corroded. Keep all terminals and
pressure connectors clean and tight.
6.
Keep all body parts and any hand-
held tools or other conductive
objects away from exposed live parts
of the electrical system. When
making repairs or adjustments, stand
on a dry, insulated surface and DO
NOT contact any other portion of the
compressor
.
7.
DO NOT leave compressor
unattended with exposed electrical
components. Be sure to tag and
disconnect all power if temporary
absence is necessary.
Compressor components
can become hot during
operation. Avoid bodily
contact with hot liquids,
hot surfaces and sharp
Edges and corners, or
burns or personal injury
could result.
Lubricating Oil
To avoid water condensation during
operation, keep oil temperature between
160˚ - 190˚ F
(70˚ - 88˚ C). Failure to do so causes pump
damage. Contact Polar Air service if
temperature drops below 160˚ F (70˚ C).
Changing Oil
Air/Oil Separator
tank is a Pressurized
component. To avoid
serious injury, be sure
system pressure is
relieved before
removing fill plug. Be
aware oil temperature
may be very hot. Use
caution when opening
fill plug.
