SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Listed are some, but not all safety precautions that must be observed with compressors and
compressed air systems. Failure to follow any of these warnings may result in severe personal injury,
death, property damage and/or compressor damage.
Air from this compressor will cause severe injury or death if used for breathing or food processing.
Air used for these processes must meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910 or FDA 21 178.3570 regulations.
This compressor is designed for use in the compression of normal atmospheric air only. No other gases, vapors or fumes
should be exposed to the compressor intake, nor processed through the compressor.
Disconnect all power supplies to the compressor plus any remote controllers prior to servicing the unit.
Relieve all pressure internal to the compressor prior to servicing.
Do not depend on check valves to hold system pressure.
A properly sized safety valve must be installed in the discharge piping ahead (upstream) of any shut-off valve (block valve),
heat exchanger, orifice or any potential blockage point. Failure to install a safety
relief valve could result in rupturing or explosion of some compressor or safety component.
Do not change the pressure setting of the safety relief valve, restrict the function of the
safety relief valve, or replace the safety valve with a plug.
Over pressurization of some system or compressor component can occur, resulting in severe personal injury, death and
property damage.
Never use plastic pipe, rubber hose, or soldered joints in any part of the compressed air system.
Failure to ensure system compatibility with compressor piping is dangerously unsound.
Never use a flammable or toxic solvent for cleaning the air filter or any parts.
Do not attempt to service any part while the compressor is operating.
Do not operate the compressor at pressures in excess of its rating.
Do not remove any guards while the compressor is operating.
Observe gauges daily to ensure compressor is operating properly.
Follow all maintenance procedures and check all safety devices on schedule.
Compressed air is dangerous, do not play with it.
Use the correct lubricant at all times.
Always wear proper safety equipment when using compressed air.
Always install compressor to all local applicable electric codes.
WARNING:
Read all installation steps in install guide, and compressor package manual prior to
un-crating or installing compressor package. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or damage
to compressor package.
NOTICE:
All compressor air receivers should be inspected by a certified pressure vessel technician
at least once per year, to check for leaks, weak points in the metal or any other deformity of the air
receiver. If at any time a receiver appears out of conformance with ASME/CRN certification or a
deformity is believed to have developed no matter how minor it may appear the tank should be
locked out of service immediately and replaced with a certified ASME/CRN certified air receiver
immediately before the compressor can be put back into service. The receivers should have a
general inspection weekly as part of normal service.
