General functional description
Moving Parts
 Rotating fan blades can cause serious injury. Disconnect
power supply before attempting service.
 Keep compressor doors closed except when servicing or
during maintenance. The sound damping material on
the inner side of the compressor body should not be
removed or tampered with.
 Wear snug-fitting clothing and tie long hair when
working around the compressor, especially when hot or
moving parts such as the cooler, the airend, the thermal
valve, the main motor or the fan motor are exposed.
 Keep hands, arms and clothing away from couplings,
fans/belts and other moving parts.
 Do not attempt to operate the compressor with the fan
guards, coupling guards/belt guards or other guards
removed.
 Keep hands, feet, floor, controls and walking surfaces
clean and free of fluid, water or other liquids to
minimize the possibility of slips and falls.
Hot surfaces
 Avoid bodily contact with hot oil and hot surfaces like
cooler, pipes etc.
 Keep all parts of the body away from all points of air
discharge.
 Keep a first aid kit handy. Seek medical assistance
promptly in case of injury. Do not ignore small cuts and
burns.
Toxic and irritating substances
 Do not use air from the compressor for breathing.
 Always wear safety equipment while operating the
compressor. Refer OSHA safety standards.
 Do not allow compressed air to come into contact with
any edible items.
 In the event of ingestion of oils, coolants or lubricants
used in the compressor, seek medical treatment
promptly. In case you come in contact with such
substances, wash with soap and water. Use MSDS for
oil to know more on this.
 If warm cooling air from the compressor is being used
in air heating systems, e.g. to warm up a work room,
take precautions against air pollution and possible
contamination of the breathing air.
Electric shock
 Keep all parts of the body and any handheld tools or
other conductive objects away from exposed live parts
of the electrical system.
 Stand on a dry or insulating surface and do not contact
any other part of the compressor when making
adjustments or repairs to exposed live parts of the
electrical system.
