I. Keep lift operator in constant attendance when-
ever compressor is suspended.
J. Set compressor down only on a level surface
capable of safely supporting at least its weight
and its loading unit.
K. When moving the compressor by forklift truck,
utilize fork pockets if provided. Otherwise, utilize
pallet if provided. If neither fork pockets or pallet
are provided, then make sure compressor is
secure and well balanced on forks before
attempting to raise or transport it any significant
distance.
L. Make sure forklift truck forks are fully engaged
and tipped back prior to lifting or transporting the
compressor.
M. Forklift no higher than necessary to clear obsta-
cles at floor level and transport and corner at
minimum practical speeds.
N. Make sure pallet-mounted compressors are
firmly bolted or otherwise secured to the pallet
prior to attempting to forklift or transport them.
NEVER attempt to forklift a compressor that is
not secured to its pallet, as uneven floors or sud-
den stops may cause the compressor to tumble
off, possibly causing serious injury or property
damage in the process.
1.10 ENTRAPMENT
A. If the compressor enclosure, if any, is large
enough to hold a man and if it is necessary to
enter it to perform service adjustments, inform
other personnel before doing so, or else secure
and tag the access door in the open position to
avoid the possibility of others closing and possi-
bly latching the door with personnel inside.
B. Make sure all personnel are out of compressor
before closing and latching enclosure doors.
