GD150  Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual

Health & Safety

1

READ THE WHOLE MANUAL BEFORE 

COMMENCING INSTALLATION.

Static electricity.

Ensure, that where required, the compressor and ancillaries are earthed 

in accordance with BS5958 Part 1 1983; ‘Control of Undesirable Static 

Electricity’.
Powder-air combinations are potentially explosive.

Drive line.

It is the responsibility of the installer of the equipment to ensure all rotating 

and moving parts of the installation are adequately guarded to a standard 

which complies with the prevailing safety legislation.

Compressor.

The compressor has internal moving parts some of which may be accessed 

through the inlet and outlet apertures. Do not place any objects especially 

fingers into these apertures as personal injury could result. 

Installation.

A relief valve must be fitted in the appropriate machine port or in the outlet 

pipe work as close to the compressor as possible. The valve must be 

positioned so as not to vent air onto any personnel since the air discharged 

will be hot and can cause severe burns.

Storage/Low use

Before the machine is installed or when it will not be used for long periods:

• Store in a dry, heated building. 

• Handle with care and keep the suction and delivery ports

   covered.

• Rotate the drive shaft of the machine each week, in the direction shown by  

   the arrow between the suction and delivery ports on the machine body

Where the compressor is mounted on a vehicle and located outside, it

 and located outside, it 

should be operated for at least 15 minutes each week (twice a week In damp/

cool conditions)

Fire & Heat.

The compressor includes seals made of fluoroelastomer polymers which  

degrade if exposed to temperatures above 300°C. If the material has been so 

exposed then it must not be handled with bare hands.
Surface temperatures can exceed 150°C. Highly combustable materials must 

not come into contact with the discharge pipework or compressor body.

Relief Valve Check

This procedure should be carried out every month to clear the valve seat and 

check the valve is functional. (Ear protection is recommended)

Noise

Gardner Denver Drums own tests show maximum noise levels for the 

GD150 

should typically not exceed 91/92 dB(A) in the worst case (1600rpm 

2.5bar g).

In accordance with our policy of continuous product improvement, Gardner Denver Drum 

reserve the right to alter details and specifications without notice.
