Safety measures
Personnel must not have loose long hair nor wear
loose clothes or jewellery including rings. If the
compressor is running there is a risk of injury, e.g.
by being caught-up or pulled in. Where necessary
or if required by regulations, wear personal protec-
tive equipment!
Only carry out maintenance and repair work for
which you are adequately trained and which you
feel confident to carry out.
Do not use machine parts as climbing aids. If car-
rying out maintenance work at heights, provide fall
protection.
Maintenance/Troubleshooting
Only carry out maintenance and repair work with
the compressor switched off and mains power
off. Secure the compressor to prevent inadvertent
switching on.
Before opening the compressor enclosure:
Drain the compressor.
Wait for automatic pressure discharge to com-
plete.
Wait until the residual electrical energy has
drained from the capacitors.
Allow the compressor to cool to room tempera-
ture.
Cleanliness
During maintenance and repair work always check
for cleanliness. Keep dirt away by covering parts
and uncovered openings with a clean cloth, paper
or adhesive strips.
Oil leaks lead to a slippery floor. Thoroughly clean
the work area after completion of maintenance
and repair work.
Cleaning agents
When cleaning parts, never use solvents or clean-
ing agents that could chemically attack the materi-
als.
Take precautions to prevent harmful vapours from
solvents or cleaning agents.
Weight / lifting gear
When replacing heavy individual parts and assem-
blies carefully attach and secure to the lifting gear
so that no danger can arise. Use only suitable and
technically flawless lifting gear and load handling
equipment with adequate load capacity. Never
work or remain under suspended loads.
Spare parts
Use only original spare parts.
Spare parts must correspond to the technical re-
quirements specified by the manufacturer. This is
only guaranteed with original spare parts.
Upon completion of maintenance and repair
work
Upon completion of maintenance and repair work,
ensure that no tools, loose parts or cleaning cloths
have been left in the compressor (especially in the
drive motor or drive train).
Turn the drive several times to ensure that there is
no mechanical malfunction within the compressor
or the drive train.
Tighten up all threaded connectors loosened dur-
ing maintenance and repair work. Likewise check
all other threaded connectors.
Before release of the compressor for operation af-
ter maintenance and repair work, ensure that the
operating pressures, temperatures and time set-
tings are correct and that the control and switching
off equipment is fully serviceable.
If safety and protective equipment must be re-
moved, then it must be immediately replaced af-
ter completion of the work and checked for trou-
ble-free operation.

Conversions and changes to
the machine
Do not make any changes or additions to or re-
build the compressor without prior consultation
with Gardner Denver.
Unauthorised changes to the machine are not au-
thorised for safety reasons.
Genuine parts are designed especially for the ma-
chine. We expressly point out that we also do not
authorise parts and special equipment that are not
supplied by us. The fitting and/or use of such prod-
ucts may therefore impair active and/or passive
safety.
Any liability on the part of the manufacturer for
damage arising from the use of non-original parts
or special equipment is excluded. The same ap-
plies for the fitting and adjustment of safety equip-
ment and valves as well as to the welding of load-
bearing or pressure carrying parts.
