1) Safety Precautions
What you
must
do:
•
Read these instructions before using
your air compressor.
•
Ensure the compressor has been
installed,
electrically
connected
and piped in by a properly qualified
person.
•
Ensure the compressor is kept upright
at all times.
What you
must not
do:
•
Do not attempt any maintenance on the
compressor until it has been isolated
from the power supply.
•
Do not attempt any work on the
compressor until the air receiver and
pipe work systems are depressurised.
•
Compressed air is dangerous if
misused and can prove fatal. Avoid
any bodily contact with compressed
air.
•
During operation the motor will become
quite hot to the touch. Avoid contact
to prevent burns.
•
Never tamper with the pressure relief
valve.
•
Never lubricate the oil free motor or
pump assembly; this will cause
severe damage.
•
Never obstruct cooling fans or outlet
vents.
2) Siting The Compressor
What you
must
do:
•
Provide adequate protection from the
weather.
•
Site the compressor level in both
planes.
•
Allow access for maintenance all
around the compressor.
•
Site in a dry area, avoiding damp or
humid conditions. The site must be
dust free, well ventilated and have a
cool ambient temperature. 0 to 40°C
should be regarded as the minimum
and maximum allowable ambient.
What you
must not
do:
•
Enclose the compressor or allow hot
air generated by the motor to re-
circulate around the compressor.
Ensure there is 30cm clearance
around the compressor
•
Restrict air flow around the end cover
ventilation grilles.
Important !
These compressors generate heat.
Never restrict any of the ventilation grilles
otherwise serious damage may occur.
Electrical Connections
Where applicable, compressors are supplied with a moulded plug in accordance with
national standards.
Never remove the moulded plug.
The use of extension cables is not recommended as this may cause voltage drops
which can result in damage to the motor
