BREATHING AIR PRECAUTION
Ingersoll–Rand air compressors are not designed, intended or
approved for breathing air. Compressed air should not be used for
breathing air applications unless treated in accordance with all
applicable codes and regulations.
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 is not removed
permanently from the machine.
Ensure that maintenance personnel are adequately trained,
competent and have read the Maintenance Manuals.
Do not point air nozzles or sprayers toward anyone.
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.
Wear eye protection when operating or servicing compressor.
All persons positioned near to operating machinery should be
equipped with hearing protection and given instructions on its use in
accordance with workplace safety legislation.
Make sure that all protective covers are in place and that the
canopy/doors are closed during operation.
The specification of this machine is such that the machine is not
suitable for use in flammable gas risk areas.
Installation of this compressor must be in accordance with
recognized electrical codes and any local Health and Safety Codes.
The use of plastic bowls on line filters can be hazardous. Their
safety can be affected by either synthetic lubricants, or the additives
used in mineral oils. Ingersoll –Rand recommends that only filters with
metal bowls should be used on a pressurized system.
Compressed air
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.
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
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 isolation valves must be fitted and
controlled by work procedures, so that one machine cannot accidently
be pressurized / over pressurized 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
lubricant 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.
All safety valves located in the separator tank must be checked
periodically for correct operation.
Do not over–pressurize the receiver tank or similar vessels beyond
design limits.
Do not use a receiver tank or similar vessels that fail to meet the
design requirements of the compressor. Contact your distributor for
assistance.
Do not drill into, weld or otherwise alter the receiver tank or similar
vessels.
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
Transport
When loading or transporting machines ensure that the specified
lifting and tie down points are used.
Lifting equipment must be properly rated for the weight of the
compressor.
Do not work on or walk under the compressor while it is suspended.
