death or serious injury may result.
1.4 FIRE AND EXPLOSION
A. Clean up spills of lubricant or other combustible
substances immediately, if such spills occur.
B. Shut off the compressor and allow it to cool.
Then keep sparks, flames and other sources of
ignition away and
DO NOT permit smoking in the
vicinity when checking or adding lubricant or when
refilling air line anti-icer systems with antifreeze
compound.
C. DO NOT permit fluids, including air line anti-icer
system antifreeze compound or fluid film, to accu-
mulate on, under or around acoustical material, or
on any external surfaces of the air compressor.
Wipe down using an aqueous industrial cleaner or
steam clean as required. If necessary, remove
acoustical material, clean all surfaces and then
replace acoustical material. Any acoustical material
with a protective covering that has been torn or
punctured should be replaced immediately to pre-
vent accumulation of liquids or fluid film within the
material.
DO NOT use flammable solvents for
cleaning purposes.
D. Disconnect and lock out all power at source prior
to attempting any repairs or cleaning of the com-
pressor or of the inside of the enclosure, if any.
E. Keep electrical wiring, including all terminals and
pressure connectors in good condition. Replace
any wiring that has cracked, cut, abraded or other-
wise degraded insulation, or terminals that are
worn, discolored or corroded. Keep all terminals
and pressure connectors clean and tight.
F. Keep grounded and/or conductive objects such
as tools away from exposed live electrical parts
such as terminals to avoid arcing which might serve
as a source of ignition.
G. Remove any acoustical material or other materi-
al that may be damaged by heat or that may sup-
port combustion and is in close proximity, prior to
attempting weld repairs.
H. Keep suitable fully charged Class BC or ABC fire
extinguisher or extinguishers nearby when servic-
ing and operating the compressor.
I. Keep oily rags, trash, leaves, litter or other com-
bustibles out of and away from the compressor.
J. DO NOT operate the compressor without proper
flow of cooling air or water or with inadequate flow
of lubricant or with degraded lubricant.
K. DO NOT attempt to operate the compressor in
any classification of hazardous
environment unless the compressor has been spe-
cially designed and manufactured for that duty.
1.5 MOVING PARTS
A. Keep hands, arms and other parts of the body
and also clothing away from couplings, fans and
other moving parts.
B. DO NOT attempt to operate the compressor with
the fan, coupling or other guards removed.
C. Wear snug-fitting clothing and confine long hair
when working around this compressor, especially
when exposed to hot or moving parts.
D. Keep access doors, if any, closed except when
making repairs or adjustments.
E. Make sure all personnel are out of and/or clear
of the compressor prior to attempting to start or
operate it.
F. Disconnect and lock out all power at source and
verify at the compressor that all circuits are de-
energized to minimize the possibility of accidental
start-up, or operation, prior to attempting repairs or
adjustments. This is especially important when
compressors are remotely controlled.
G. Keep hands, feet, floors, controls and walking
surfaces clean and free of fluid, water or other liq-
uids to minimize the possibility of slips and falls.
1.6 HOT SURFACES, SHARP EDGES AND SHARP
CORNERS
A.
Avoid bodily contact with hot fluid, hot coolant,
hot surfaces and sharp edges and corners.
B. Keep all parts of the body away from all points of
air discharge.
C. Wear personal protective equipment including
gloves and head covering when working in, on or
around the compressor.
D. Keep a first aid kit handy. Seek medical assis-
tance promptly in case of injury. DO NOT ignore
small cuts and burns as they may lead to infection.
1.7 TOXIC AND IRRITATING SUBSTANCES
A. DO NOT use air from this compressor for respi-
ration (breathing) except in full compliance with
OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1910 and/or any applica-
ble Federal, State or Local codes or regulations.
Death or serious injury can result from inhaling
compressed air without using proper safety
equipment. See OSHA standards and/or any
applicable Federal, State, and Local codes, stan-
dards and regulations on safety equipment.
