WARNINGS
Warnings call attention to instructions which must be followed
precisely to avoid injury or death.
CAUTIONS
Cautions call attention to instructions which must be followed
precisely to avoid damaging the product, process or its surroundings.
NOTES
Notes are used for supplementary information.
General Information
Ensure that the operator reads and understands the decals and
consults the manuals before maintenance or operation.
Ensure that the Operation and Maintenance manual, and the
manual holder, are not removed permanently from the machine.
Ensure that maintenance personnel are adequately trained,
competent and have read the Maintenance Manuals.
Compressed air and electricity can be dangerous. Before
undertaking any work on the compressor, ensure that the electrical
supply has been isolated and the compressor has been relieved of all
pressure.
WARNING
Imposing a normal or emergency stop on the compressor will
only relieve presure upstream of the minimum pressure valve on
top of the separator tank.
If maintenance work is required downstream of this valve, ensure
that all pressure is relieved at the process vent point external to
the compressor
This state is advised by selecting PACKAGE DISCHARGE
PRESSURE on the control panel.
Make sure that all protective covers are in place and that the
canopy/doors are closed during operation.
Installation of this compressor must be in accordance with
recognised electrical codes and any local Health and Safety Codes.
The use of plastic bowls on line filters without metal guards can be
hazardous. Their safety can be affected by either synthetic lubricants,
or the additives used in mineral oils. Metal bowls should be used on a
pressurised system.
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.
Compressed air
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
accidentally be pressurised / over pressurised by another.
Compressed air must not be used for a direct feed to any form of
breathing apparatus or mask.
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.
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.
Avoid bodily contact with compressed air.
The safety valve located in the separator tank must be checked
periodically for correct operation.
Materials
The following substances are used in the manufacture of this
machine and may be hazardous to health if used incorrectly:
.
preservative grease
.
rust preventative
.
compressor coolant
AVOID INGESTION, SKIN CONTACT AND INHALATION OF
FUMES
For further information, consult Material Data Sheets ACGP 011/96
(ULTRA COOLANT) and IRACA145 (food grade coolant).
Should compressor lubricant come into contact with the eyes, then
irrigate with water for at least 5 minutes.
Should compressor lubricant come into contact with the skin, then
wash off immediately.
Consult a physician if large amounts of compressor lubricant are
ingested.
Consult a physician if compressor lubricant is inhaled.
Never give fluids or induce vomiting if the patient is unconscious or
having convulsions.
Transport
When loading or transporting machines ensure that the specified
lifting and tie down points are used.
When refitting any enclosure panels or doors, it is essential to
ensure that no persons or equipment remain inside the compressor.
