11. Never weld or perform any operation involving heat near the fluid system. Fluid tanks must be completely
purged, e.g. by steam cleaning, before carrying out such operations. Never weld on, or in any way modify,
pressure vessels.
12. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is overheated, the
machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before sufficient cooling time has
elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil vapor when air is admitted.
13. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure vessel, etc.
14. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
15. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function properly.
They may not be put out of action.
16. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating pressures,
temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down devices are fitted and
that they function correctly. If removed, check that the coupling guard of the compressor drive shaft has
been reinstalled.
17. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge pipe and the inside of the oil
separator vessel for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits should be removed.
18. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture from entering
them, e.g. when steam cleaning.
19. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on the
bodywork and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the compressor, is in good condition. If damaged,
replace it by genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound pressure level from increasing.
20. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate bowls.
21. The drive in this unit contains capacitors that will maintain a high voltage charge after power is removed.
Before performing any maintenance on the compressor package allow at least 5 minutes for the
capacitors to discharge after removing power to the package. Verify that there are no indicator lights or
displays on the drive that are in an on state indicating power is still in the drive before working on the unit.
Remember to always lock out and tag out the power source to the package per OSHA regulations.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation
and Safety precautions during operation.
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.
