SAFETY
1
1.1 GENERAL
Sullair Corporation and its subsidiaries design and
manufacture all of its products so they can be oper-
ated safely. However, the responsibility for safe op-
eration rests with those who use and maintain these
products. The following safety precautions are of-
fered as a guide which, if conscientiously followed,
will minimize the possibility of accidents throughout
the useful life of this equipment.
The compressor should be operated only by those
who have been trained and delegated to do so, and
who have read and understood this Operator’s
Manual. Failure to follow the instructions, proce-
dures and safety precautions in this manual can re-
sult in accidents and injuries.
NEVER start the compressor unless it is safe to do
so. DO NOT attempt to operate the compressor with
a known unsafe condition. Tag the compressor and
render it inoperative by disconnecting and locking
out all power at source or otherwise disabling its
prime mover so others who may not know of the un-
safe condition cannot attempt to operate it until the
condition is corrected.
Install, use and operate the compressor only in full
compliance with all pertinent OSHA regulations and
all applicable Federal, State, and Local codes, stan-
dards and regulations.
DO NOT
modify the compressor and/or controls in
any way except with written factory approval.
While not specifically applicable to all types of com-
pressors with all types of prime movers, most of the
precautionary statements contained herein are ap-
plicable to most compressors and the concepts be-
hind these statements are generally applicable to all
compressors.
1.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Prior to installing or operating the compressor, own-
ers, employers, and users should become familiar
with, and comply with, all applicable OSHA regula-
tions and any applicable Federal, State and Local
codes, standards, and regulations relative to per-
sonal protective equipment, such as eye and face
protective equipment, respiratory protective equip-
ment, equipment intended to protect the extremi-
ties, protective clothing, protective shields and barri-
ers and electrical protective equipment, as well as
noise exposure administrative and/or engineering
controls and/or personal hearing protective equip-
ment.
1.3 PRESSURE RELEASE
A. Install an appropriate flow limiting valve between
the service air outlet and the shut--off (throttle)
valve, either at the compressor or at any other point
along the air line, when an air hose exceeding 1/2”
inside diameter is to be connected to the shut--off
(throttle) valve, to reduce pressure in case of hose
failure, per OSHA Standard 29 CFR
1926.302(b)(7).
B. When the hose is to be used to supply a manifold,
install an additional appropriate flow limiting valve
between the manifold and each air hose exceeding
1/2” inside diameter that is to be connected to the
manifold to reduce pressure in case of hose failure.
C. Provide an appropriate flow limiting valve at the
beginning of each additional 75 feet of hose in runs
of air hose exceeding 1/2” inside diameter to reduce
pressure in case of hose failure.
D. Flow limiting valves are listed by pipe size and
rated CFM. Select appropriate valves accordingly,
in accordance with their manufacturer’s recommen-
dations.
E. DO NOT use air tools that are rated below the
maximum rating of the compressor. Select air tools,
air hoses, pipes, valves, filters, and other fittings ac-
cordingly. DO NOT exceed manufacturer’s rated
safe operating pressures for these items.
F. Secure all hose connections by wire, chain or oth-
er suitable retaining devices to prevent tools or hose
ends from being accidentally disconnected and ex-
pelled.
G. Open fluid filter cap only when compressor is not
running and is not pressurized. Shut down the
compressor and bleed the sump (receiver) to zero
internal pressure before removing the cap.
H. Vent all internal pressure prior to opening any
line, fitting, hose, valve, drain plug, connection or
other component, such as filters and line oilers, and
before attempting to refill optional air line anti--icer
systems with antifreeze compound.
I. Keep personnel out of line with and away from the
discharge opening of hoses or tools or other points
of compressed air discharge.
J. Use air at pressures less than 30 PSIG (207kPa)
for cleaning purposes, and then only with effective
chip guarding and personal protective equipment
per OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.242 (b).
K. DO NOT engage in horseplay with air hoses as
death or serious injury may result.
1.4 FIRE AND EXPLOSION
A. Clean up spills of lubricant or other combustible
substances immediately, when such spills occur.
B. Shut off the compressor and allow it to cool. Then
keep sparks, flames and other sources of ignition
away and DO NOT permit smoking in the vicinity
when checking or adding lubricant or when refilling
air line anti--icer systems with antifreeze compound.
C. DO NOT permit fluids, including air line anti--icer
system antifreeze compound or fluid film to accu-
mulate on, under, or around acoustical material, or
