Stopping for Maintenance or Service
The following procedure should be followed to maximize safety when preparing for maintenance
or service.
1. Disconnect and lock-out the main power switch and hang a sign at the switch Informing of the unit be-
ing serviced.
2. Close shut-off valve (block valve) between receiver and compressor, or receiver and Plant air system, to
prevent any back-up of air flow into the area to be serviced.
3. Lock open manual vent valve and wait for the pressure in the area to be serviced (compressor, receiver,
etc.) to be completely relieved before starting service. The Manual vent valve may be the drain valve in
the receiver. NEVER remove a plug to relieve the pressure.
4. Open all manual drain valves within the area to be serviced.
5. Wait for the unit to cool before starting service, (temperatures at 125 degrees F can burn the skin), some
surface temperatures exceed 400 degrees F when the compressor is working).
6. Clean up all oils spills immediately to prevent slipping.
Never assume the compressor is ready for maintenance
or service because it is stopped. The automatic stop-
start control may start the compressor at any time!
