pipework must be clearly marked.
16. If the ground is not level or can be subject to variable inclination, consult the manufacturer.
17. If the maximum working pressure of the compressor is higher than the design pressure of the dryer, a
full flow safety valve must be installed between the compressor and the dryer in order to blow off
excessive pressure.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during operation and Safety
precautions during maintenance.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the
application which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your machine.
1.4 Safety precautions during operation
All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or
non-observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.
Precautions during operation
1. Always be careful when touching any piping or components of the dryer during operation.
2. Use only the correct type and size of hose end fittings and connections. When blowing through a hose
or air line, ensure that the open end is held securely. A free end will whip and may cause injury. Make
sure that a hose is fully depressurized before disconnecting it.
3. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that
there is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to
the remote start equipment.
4. Never operate the machine when there is a possibility of taking in flammable or toxic fumes, vapors or
particles.
5. Never operate the machine below or in excess of its limit ratings.
6. Keep all bodywork doors shut during operation. The doors may be opened for short periods only, e.g.
to carry out routine checks. Wear ear protectors when opening a door.
7. People staying in environments or rooms where the sound pressure level reaches or exceeds 90
dB(A) shall wear ear protectors.
8. Periodically check that:
•
All guards are in place and securely fastened
•
All hoses and/or pipes inside the machine are in good condition, secure and not rubbing
•
There are no leaks
•
All fasteners are tight
•
All electrical leads are secure and in good order
•
Safety valves and other pressure-relief devices are not obstructed by dirt or paint
•
Air outlet valve and air net, i.e. pipes, couplings, manifolds, valves, hoses, etc. are in good repair,
free of wear or abuse
9. If warm cooling air from dryers is used in air heating systems, e.g. to warm up a working area, take
precautions against air pollution and possible contamination of the breathing air.
