V100-VL400 User Manual – Safety Procedures
Use only lubricating oils and greases approved by
CompAir. Make sure that the selected lubricants
comply with all relevant safety regulations,
especially with regard to the risk of explosion or fire
and the possibility of decomposition or the
generation of hazardous gases.
Always clean up oil spills from the surrounding floor
and outside of the compressor unit before and after
maintenance work.
Make sure that all instructions concerning operation
and maintenance are strictly followed and that the
complete unit, with all accessories and safety
devices, is kept in good running order .
The accuracy of pressure and temperature gauges
and switching thermometers must be regularly
checked. They must be renewed when acceptable
tolerances are exceeded.
Protection devices must be tested as described in
the 'Maintenance' section of this manual.
Keep the compressor unit clean at all times. Protect
components and exposed openings by covering with
clean cloth or tape during maintenance and repair
work.
Protect the motor, air intake, electrical and
regulation components against the entry of
moisture, e.g. when steam cleaning.
Precautions must be taken when carrying out
welding or any repair operation which generates
heat, flames or sparks. The adjacent components
must always be screened with non-flammable
material and if the operation is to be carried out near
any part of the oil system, or close to a component
which may contain oil, the system must first be
thoroughly purged, preferably by steam cleaning.
Never use a light source with an open flame to
inspect any part of the unit.
In no circumstances must any welding work or other
modification be carried out on the reclaimer or any
other pressure vessel.
Before dismantling of any part of the compressor
unit ensure that all heavy movable parts are
secured.
After completion of repair or maintenance work
ensure that no tools, loose items or rags are left on
or inside any part of the machine.
Check the direction of rotation of the motor when
starting up the compressor initially and after any
work on the electrical connections or switch gear.
Do not use any flammable liquid to clean valves,
filter elements, cooler air passages, air pipes or any
component carrying a flow of air during normal
operation. If chlorinated hydrocarbon nonflammable
fluids are used for cleaning, safety precautions must
be taken against any toxic vapours which may be
released.
Do not use carbon tetrachloride.
Precautions must be taken when using acids,
alkalis and chemical detergents for cleaning
machine parts and components. These materials
cause irritation and are corrosive to the skin, eyes,
nose and throat. Avoid splashes and wear suitable
protective clothing and goggles. Do not breathe
mists. Ensure that water and soap are readily
available.
When disposing of condensate, old oil, used filter
elements and other parts and waste material of any
kind make sure that there is no pollution of any
drain or natural water-course and that no burning of
waste takes place which could cause pollution of
the air. Protect the environment by using only
approved methods of disposal.
7. PRECAUTIONS IN THE EVENT OF FIRE
Use extreme caution when handling
components that have been subjected to fire or
very high temperatures. Some components may
contain fluoroelastomer materials which decompose
under these conditions to form highly corrosive
residues. Skin contact can cause painful and
penetrating burns resulting in permanent skin and
tissue damage.
