1. HEALTH AND SAFETY
Read the whole manual before commencing installation.
Static Electricity
Ensure, that where required, the compressor and ancillaries are earthed in accordance with BS5958 Part 1 1983;
‘Control of Undesirable Static Electricity’
Powder-air combinations are potentially explosive.
Drive Line
It is the responsibility of the installer of the equipment to ensure all rotating and moving parts of the installation are
adequately guarded to a standard which complies with the prevailing safety legislation.
Compressor
The compressor has internal moving parts, some of which may be accessed through the inlet and outlet orifices.
Do not place any objects, especially fingers, into the orifices since personal injury could result.
Installation
A relief valve must be fitted in the appropriate machine port or in the outlet pipe work as close to the compressor
as possible. The valve must be positioned so as not to vent air onto any personnel, since the air discharged will
be hot and can cause severe burns.
Storage/Low use
Before the machine is installed or when it will not be used for long periods:
•
Store in a dry, heated building.
•
Handle with care and keep the inlet and discharge ports covered.
•
Rotate the drive shaft of the machine monthly, in the direction shown by the arrows on the sides of the
machine body.
•
Where the compressor is mounted on the vehicle and located outside, it should be operated for at least
15 minutes each week (twice a week in damp/cool conditions).
Fire & Heat
The compressor includes seals made of flouroelastomer polymers which degrade if exposed to temperatures
above 300°C. If the material has been exposed to such temperatures, then it must not be handled with bare
hands.
Surface temperatures can exceed 150°C. Highly combustible materials must not come into contact with the
discharge or compressor body.
Relief Valve Check
This procedure should be carried out every month to clear the valve seat and check the valve is functional (Ear
protection is recommended).
Noise
Tests carried out by Gardner Denver Drum show that the maximum noise levels for the RFL 102 should typically
not exceed 77 dB(A) in the worst case (1500rpm, 2.0 barg). Other vehicle/equipment noise levels are likely to be
greater.
