BREATHING AIR PRECAUTION
Ingersoll–Rand air compressors are not designed, intended or
approved for breathing air. Compressed air should not be used for
breathing air applications unless treated in accordance with all
applicable codes and regulations.
General Information
Ensure that the operator reads and understands the decals and
consults the manuals before maintenance or operation.
Ensure that the Operation and Maintenance manual, and the
manual holder, are not removed permanently from the machine.
Ensure that maintenance personnel are adequately trained,
competent and have read the Maintenance Manuals.
Do not point air nozzles or sprayers toward anyone.
Compressed air and electricity can be dangerous. Before
undertaking any work on the compressor, ensure that the electrical
supply has been isolated and the compressor has been relieved of all
pressure.
Wear eye protection when operating or servicing compressor.
All persons positioned near to operating machinery should be
equipped with hearing protection and given instructions on its use in
accordance with workplace safety legislation.
Make sure that all protective covers are in place and that the
canopy/doors are closed during operation.
The specification of this machine is such that the machine is not
suitable for use in flammable gas risk areas.
Installation of this compressor must be in accordance with
recognized electrical codes and any local Health and Safety Codes.
The use of plastic bowls on line filters without metal guards can be
hazardous. Their safety can be affected by either synthetic lubricants,
or the additives used in mineral oils. Metal bowls should be used on a
pressurized system.
Compressed air
Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectly handled. Before
doing any work on the unit, ensure that all pressure is vented from the
system and that the machine cannot be started accidentally.
Ensure that the machine is operating at the rated pressure and that
the rated pressure is known to all relevant personnel.
All air pressure equipment installed in or connected to the machine
must have safe working pressure ratings of at least the machine rated
pressure.
If more than one compressor is connected to one common
downstream plant, effective isolation valves must be fitted and
controlled by work procedures, so that one machine cannot accidently
be pressurized / over pressurized by another.
Compressed air must not be used for a direct feed to any form of
breathing apparatus or mask.
The discharged air contains a very small percentage of compressor
lubricating oil and care should be taken to ensure that downstream
equipment is compatible.
If the discharged air is to be ultimately released into a confined
space, adequate ventilation must be provided.
When using compressed air always use appropriate personal
protective equipment.
All pressure containing parts, especially flexible hoses and their
couplings, must be regularly inspected, be free from defects and be
replaced according to the Manual instructions.
Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectly handled. Before
doing any work on the unit, ensure that all pressure is vented from the
system and that the machine cannot be started accidentally.
Avoid bodily contact with compressed air.
All safety valves located in the separator tank must be checked
periodically for correct operation.
Do not over–pressurize the receiver tank or similar vessels beyond
design limits.
Do not use a receiver tank or similar vessels that fail to meet the
design requirements of the compressor. Contact your distributor for
assistance.
Do not drill into, weld or otherwise alter the receiver tank or similar
vessels.
Do not remove, adjust, change, modify or make substitutions for
safety/relief valves, pressure switches or other pressure control
related devices.
Materials
The following substances are used in the manufacture of this
machine and may be hazardous to health if used incorrectly:
.
preservative grease
.
rust preventative
.
compressor coolant
AVOID INGESTION, SKIN CONTACT AND INHALATION OF
FUMES
For further information, consult Material Data Sheet for ALL SEASON
SELECT.
Transport
When loading or transporting machines ensure that the specified
lifting and tie down points are used.
Lifting equipment must be properly rated for the weight of the
compressor.
Do not work on or walk under the compressor while it is suspended.
Electrical
Keep all parts of the body and any hand–held tools or other
conductive objects, away from exposed live parts of the compressor
electrical system. Maintain dry footing, stand on insulating surfaces
and do not contact any other portion of the compressor when making
adjustments or repairs to exposed live parts of the compressor
electrical system.
Close and lock all access doors when the compressor is left
unattended.
Do not use extinguishers intended for Class A or Class B fires on
electrical fires. Use only extinguishers suitable for class BC or class
ABC fires.
Attempt repairs only in clean, dry, well lighted and ventilated areas.
Connect the compressor only to electrical systems that are
compatible with its electrical characteristics and that are within its rated
capacity.
