As it is impossible to warn of every possible hazard that may result
from operating this system, common sense and industry standard
safety practices must be observed.
Safety Precautions
Read this information before operating the compressor for the first time. Follow
the information and procedures in this manual for operation, maintenance and
repair. Observe the following items to reduce the chance of personal injury or
equipment damage.
Follow all safety precautions for mechanical work. Moving belts and rotating
components are an extreme hazard. Stay clear of all moving parts when the
system is operating. Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance and
repair on system components and only while the system is properly shut down.
Proper service and repair are important to the safety of the service technician and
the safe, reliable operation of the equipment. Always use genuine VMAC and/or
Honda replacement parts.
The procedures described in this service manual are effective methods of service
and repair. Some procedures may require the use of tools specially designed for a
specific purpose. Anyone using a replacement part, service procedure or tool must
first determine that neither their safety nor the safe operation of the equipment
will be compromised by the replacement part, service procedure or tool selected.
Harmful Vapours
Breathing fuel vapours or engine exhaust can expose you to chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
•
Always start and operate the engine in a well ventilated area.
•
Do not breathe engine exhaust. Internal combustion engines
produce carbon monoxide, a poisonous odorless gas which can
cause death. Do not start or operate this system in an enclosed
area.
•
If in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside and ensure
there is adequate access to fresh breathable air.
Burn Hazard
•
The engine, exhaust and the compressor system get very hot
during operation, contact with the components or the oil can cause
serious injury. Allow sufficient time for the system to cool prior to
performing service.
•
Avoid contact with the engine or compressor components until the
system has cooled sufficiently.
