SAFETY
1.1 GENERAL
Sullair Corporation and its subsidiaries design and
manufacture all of their products so they can be
operated safely. However, the responsibility for safe
operation rests with those who use and maintain
these products. The following safety precautions are
offered as a guide which, if conscientiously followed,
will minimize the possibility of accidents throughout
the useful life of this equipment.
The compressor should be operated only by those
who have been trained and delegated to do so, and
who have read and understood this Operator's
Manual. Failure to follow the instructions, procedures
and safety precautions in this manual may result in
accidents and injuries.
NEVER start the compressor
unless it is safe to do so. DO NOT attempt to operate
the compressor with a known unsafe condition. Tag
the compressor and render it inoperative by
disconnecting and locking out all power at source or
otherwise disabling its prime mover so others who
may not know of the unsafe condition cannot attempt
to operate it until the condition is corrected.
Install, use and operate the compressor only in full
compliance with all pertinent OSHA regulations and/
or any applicable Federal, State, and Local codes,
standards and regulations.
DO NOT modify the
compressor and/or controls in any way except with
written factory approval.
While not specifically applicable to all types of
compressors with all types of prime movers, most of
the precautionary statements contained herein are
applicable to most compressors and the concepts
behind these statements are generally applicable to
all compressors.

owners, employers and users should become
familiar with, and comply with, all applicable
OSHA regulations and/or any applicable Federal,
State and Local codes, standards, and regula-
tions relative to personal protective equipment,
such as eye and face protective equipment,
respiratory protective equipment, equipment
intended to protect the extremities, protective
clothing, protective shields and barriers and elec-
trical protective equipment, as well as noise

1.3 ELECTRICAL SHOCK

tained in full compliance with all applicable Fed-
