SAFETY
1
1.1 GENERAL
Sullair Corporation and its subsidiaries design and
manufacture all of their products so they can be op-
erated safely. However, the responsibility for safe
operation rests with those who use and maintain
these products. The following safety precautions
are offered as a guide which, if conscientiously fol-
lowed, 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. Read this manual
prior to startup.
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 compres-
sor and render it inoperative by disconnecting and
locking out all power at source or otherwise disab-
ling its prime mover, so others who may not know of
the unsafe condition, cannot attempt to operate it
until the condition is corrected.
Install, use and operate the compressor only in full
compliance with all pertinent regulations and all ap-
plicable 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
behind these statements are generally applicable
to all compressors.
1.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Prior to installing or operating the compressor,
owners, employers and users should become fa-
miliar with, and comply with, all applicable 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 bar-
riers 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 be-
tween 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 ex-
ceeding 1/2” (13mm) inside diameter is to be con-
nected to the shut---off (throttle) valve, to reduce
pressure in case of hose failure, per all applicable
Federal, State and Local codes, standards and
regulations.
B. When the hose is to be used to supply a man-
ifold, install an additional appropriate flow---limiting
valve between the manifold and each air hose ex-
ceeding 1/2” (13mm) 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 (23m) of hose
in runs of air hose exceeding 1/2” (13mm) inside di-
ameter 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 recom-
mendations.
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
other suitable retaining devices to prevent tools or
hose ends from being accidentally disconnected
and expelled.
G. Open fluid filler 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 (2.1 bar) for
cleaning purposes, and then only with effective
chip guarding and personal protective equipment.
K. DO NOT engage in horseplay with air hoses as
death or serious injury may result.
L. DO NOT
tamper with sump and unit (if pro-
vided) relief valves. Check the relief valve as rec-
ommended in the Maintenance Section of this
manual or at a minimum of at least weekly to make
sure it is not blocked, clogged, obstructed or other-
wise disabled. DO NOT change the factory setting
of the relief valve.
M.
If the compressor is installed in an enclosed
area, it is necessary to vent the relief valve to the
outside of the structure or to an area of non---expo-
sure.
