GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.Most of the units and parts are made of light alloys and plastic, designed for long-term use, but
not protected from shock overloads; transportation must comply with the transport regulations!
Take care in handling and transportation to avoid falls and bumps.
2.Never leave flammable substances near the compressor. Never direct compressed air to a face.
3.Keep children and animals away from the compressor or other equipment connected to it. The
compressor head and air ducts are heated during operation.
4.Protect compressor from moisture penetration.
5.Do not use compressor at construction sites.
6.Do not operate compressor at maximum modes for more than 5 hours (total time).
7.Do not operate compressors in explosive environments (gasoline vapors, gas, etc.) and at low
temperatures. Remember! The pressure relay does not turn off the compressor in an explosive
environment.
8.The air used for compressor cooling when carrying out paint and varnish works, purging and air
cleaning shall be clear and free from particles, pigments of coloring substances, and solvents. Do
not perform painting in an unventilated area or near an open flame. Protect nose and mouth with a
mask;
9.The compressor shall be operated by specially trained professionals only.
10.Use additional oil separators, moisture traps to provide high quality of compressed air.
11.Do not transport the compressor without container and with the pressurized receiver. Before
servicing the compressor, make sure that the pressure has been released from the receiver and
the power is off. After any maintenance operation, make sure all components are properly installed
and fixed.
12.The compressor shall be operated in well-ventilated areas only.
13.Never disconnect power by pulling the plug out of the socket or otherwise while the compressor
is running, it may case the electric motor lug when restarting. The compressor shall be turned
on/off only by pressing/pulling the red switch located on the pressure relay.
14.Never unscrew connections when the receiver is under pressure.
15.W
orking range of ambient temperature is 0 ... + 35°С;
16.Unplug the compressor when not in use. This is especially important in the evening when power
surges are possible in the industrial power network, which can lead to electric motor overload and
failure.
It is prohibited:
1.To operate the compressor with defective or disabled protection;
2.To make any changes to the electrical or pneumatic circuits of the compressor or their adjust-
ment. In particular, change the value of compressed air maximum pressure and a safety valve
settings;
3.To touch highly heated components (cylinder head and cylinder block, cooler, parts of the
discharge air duct, cooling fins of the electric motor) when operating the compressor;
4.To perform machining or welding of the receiver. In case of defects or corrosion, it is necessary
to completely replace it, as it falls under special safety standards;
5.To touch the compressor with wet hands or work in wet shoes;
6.To direct compressed air to yourself or nearby people;
7.To allow children and animals into the work area;
8.To perform painting work in an unventilated area or near an open flame;
9.To store kerosene, gasoline and other flammable liquids at the compressor installation site;
10.To leave a powered compressor unattended;
11.To perform repairs when a compressor is powered and receiver is pressurized.
