HULK Power Air Compressors
cm) of clearance.
3. Use shims to level compressor if installation
area is not flat. This will avoid excessive
vibration and premature pump wear.
DO NOT install compressor in
boiler room, paint spray room, or
area where sandblasting occurs. Make sure inlet
air is away from exhaust fumes or other toxic,
noxious or corrosive fumes or substances.
4. If acid is used in operating environment or air
is dust laden, pipe intake to outside, fresh air.
Increase pipe size by one size for every 20
feet of run. Be sure to install protective hood
around intake filter.
5. Insulate cold water or other low temperature
pipes that pass overhead to avoid
condensation dripping on compressor which
could cause rust and/or motor shorting.
Electrical Safety
Be sure only trained and
authorized personnel maintain
this compressor in accordance
with all applicable federal, state
and local codes, standards and
regulations. Follow all NEC
(National Electric Code) standards especially
those concerning equipment grounding
conductors.
1. Follow all NEC and local codes for electrical
wiring. Allow only authorized Polar Air service
person or certified electrician to install
electrical components.
2. Put unit on dedicated circuit and make sure
no other electrical equipment is wired into it.
Failure to wire unit on independent circuit can
cause circuit overload and/or imbalance in
motor phasing. Install proper No Fuse Breaker
(NFB) according to kW output of compressor.
3. Ensure incoming service has adequate
ampere rating.
4. Ensure supply line has the same electrical
characteristics (voltage, cycles and phase) as
the electric motor.
5. Refer to amp load information on the
specifications label and use correctly sized
wiring. Be sure to consider distance between
power supply and machine.
6. Install surge protection device between power
supply and compressor motor.
7. Make sure to install properly sized breakers
and fuses.
8. The unit must be properly grounded. DO NOT
connect ground wire to air or cooling lines.
9. If the tool is equipped with three-pin plug, it
should be plugged into a three-pin electrical
socket. Never remove the ground pin.
10. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
11. To reduce the risk of electrical shock or injury,
do not expose tool to moisture.
Don’t use this tool in damp or wet locations.
Keep out of rain.
12. Do not abuse cord.
Never use the cord to carry tools or pull the
plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from
heat, sharp edges or moving parts. Check
for damage and replace damaged cords
immediately before connecting to power
supply. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
13. Always disconnect the tool from power source
before making any adjustments, storing,
servicing, or changing accessories. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the tool accidentally.
14.
Keep away from flammables.
Do not attempt to operate this tool near
flammable materials or combustibles. Failure
to comply may cause serious injury or death.
15. Risk of Fire or Explosion.
Do not spray flammable liquid in a confined
area. Spray area must be well ventilated.
Do not smoke while spraying or spray where
spark or flame is present. Keep compressors
as far from spraying area as possible.
Operation
Safety Rules
1. Make sure all operators receive product
training, read and understand all instructions.
Keep all flammable, combustible,
poisonous and noxious materials
away from operating area. Make
sure there are no oily rags, trash,
leaves, litter or other
combustible materials in
operating area. Keep suitable, fully charged fire
extinguishers nearby when servicing and
operating the compressor.
2.
NEVER allow modifications to compressor
structure or controls.
3. Keep all ignition sources away from exposed
electrical parts.
4. Keep all persons clear of compressor during
start-up and operation.
5. NEVER operate the compressor with the fan,
coupling or other guards removed.
6. DO NOT engage in horseplay with air hoses
as death or serious injury may result.
7. Make sure to provide adequate ventilation
while operating the compressor. If combustible
