Scroll Enclosure Air Compressors
The compressor nameplate should be
checked to see if the unit is the correct
model and voltage as ordered.
On 10 HP unit
(SED1007) remove
the shipping bracket located inside of
the front panel.
The
operator
of this compressor
must
take the necessary precautions to pre-
vent the level of danger indicated by
these symbols. The operator is also
required to read and understand this
instruction manual and all safety warn-
ings, labels, etc.
Any
employer
allowing the use of this
compressor in their field of work
must
distribute this instruction manual to all
users. The employer must also ensure
all users read, understand and follow
the instructions as described in the
manual, safety warnings, labels, etc.
1. Read and understand
all safety warnings and
instructions before
operating this compres-
sor. Failure to read and
follow all safety warnings may
result in serious personal injury or
death. Property damage and/or
compressor damage may also occur
if all warnings are not followed.
2. Air used for breathing or food pro-
cessing must meet O.S.H.A. 29 C.F.R.
1910.134 or C.F.R. 178.3570 regula-
tions.
Motors, electrical equip-
ment and controls can
cause electrical arcs that
will ignite a flammable gas
or vapor. Never operate or repair in or
near a flammable gas or vapor. Never
store flammable liquids or gases in the
vicinity of the compressor.
3. Safety Valves or Relief Valves used
on this compressor must be in accor-
dance with ANSI/ASME B19 safety
!
WARNING
!
CAUTION
standards. Improperly sized Safety
Valves will result in serious personal
injury or death.
Do not remove the panel
or try to service the air
compressor while the com-
pressor is running or while
the air receiver is under pressure.
Serious personal injury or death will
occur.
4. Never use rubber hoses, plastic pip-
ing or soldered joints in any part of
the compressed air or gas system.
The compressor and system piping
must be compatible.
5. The compressor will shutoff when
the pressure reaches a predeter-
mined maximum pressure. Care
should be used since the compressor
may suddenly restart automatically
when the pressure drops to the pre-
determined minimum pressure.
Never assume the compressor is
ready for service just because the
unit is stopped.
6. All pressure must be drained from
the compressor and the electrical
source must be turned off before
attempting to inspect or repair the
unit.
7. Keep clear of all moving parts espe-
cially if the compressor is operating
with the door panel removed for
inspection or repair.
Do not touch HOT parts of
the compressor such as the
air end, discharge pipe,
aftercooler, motor, etc.
8. Keep flammable gases away from
the compressor. Parts of the com-
pressor become very hot during
operation and the vapors from
flammable gases may cause the unit
to explode.
9. Never use flammable or toxic sol-
vents to clean the compressor or any
of the unit's parts.
10. Do not remove or tamper with any
safety devices, guards, panels or
insulation parts while compressor is
in operation. All guards or panels
!
CAUTION
!
WARNING
must be in place before starting or
operating the compressor.
Install a properly sized
Safety Relief Valve in the
discharge piping ahead of
or before a shut-off valve,
heat exchanger, orifice, etc. The com-
pressor or part of the system could rup-
ture or explode if a Safety Relief Valve
is not installed.
11. Do not change the pressure setting
of the Safety Relief Valve. Do not
replace the Safety Relief Valve with
a plug or restrict the Safety Relief
Valve. The system or the compressor
may be over-pressurized if the
Safety Relief Valve is tampered with
in any way.
12. Do not service the compressor or
any compressor part while the unit
is in operation.
13. Do not remove, disconnect or tam-
per with the High Temperature
Shutdown Switch. The High
Temperature Shutdown Switch must
be installed on the compressor to
protect against high temperatures
damaging the compressor.
14. All electrical connections should be
made by a qualified electrician.
Disconnect all power sup-
plies to the compressor
before opening the electri-
cal box or before servicing the unit.
High voltage may be present.
15. Never remove or alter any safety
warning labels, tags, etc. located on
or provided with compressor.
16. Always provide a clean air source
for your compressor. Keep all piping
direct and short when using an out-
side air source.
17. Locate compressor inlet system
away from possible ingestion of
flammable or toxic vapors, water,
dirty air or air temperatures exceed-
ing 104°F.
18. Never set the pressure to a higher
setting than the one provided from
the factory.
19. Check all gauges daily to be sure the
compressor is operating correctly.
