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 com-
pressor.
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 person-
al injury, death and property damage.
Never use plastic pipe, rubber hose, or soldered joints in any part of the compressed air system. Fail-
ure 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.
