Air Compressors

General Safety

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 vicini-
ty of the compressor.
Never operate compressor
without a beltguard. This
unit can start automatical-
ly without warning.
Personal injury or property damage could
occur from contact with moving parts.
9. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
ry that will get caught in the mov-
ing parts of the unit.
Compressor parts may be
hot even if the unit is
stopped.
10. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
11. If the equipment should start to
vibrate abnormally, STOP the
engine/motor and check immediate-
ly for the cause. Vibration is gener-
ally an indication of trouble.
12. To reduce fire hazard, keep
engine/motor exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease.
An ASME code safe-
ty relief valve with
a setting no higher than 200 psi for two-
stage compressors or 150 psi for single
stage compressors MUST be installed in
the air lines or in the tank for this com-
pressor. The ASME safety valve must
have sufficient flow and pressure ratings
to protect the pressurized components
from bursting. The flow rating can be
found in the parts manual. The maximum
safe pressure rating for the pump is 200
psi (two-stage) or 150 psi (single stage).
The safety valve in the intercooler does
not provide system protection.
Maximum operat-
ing pressure is 175
psi for two-stage compressors and 135 psi
for single stage compressors. Do not oper-
ate with pressure switch or pilot valves
set higher than 175 psi (two-stage) or 135
psi (single stage).
13. Never attempt to adjust ASME safe-
ty valve. Keep safety valve free from
paint and other accumulations.

(Con't)
Never attempt to repair
or modify a tank!
Welding, drilling or any
other modification will
weaken the tank resulting in damage
from rupture or explosion. Always
replace worn, cracked or damaged tanks.
NOTICE
!
14. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make sure
to drain tank regularly and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and corrosion.
15. Fast moving air will stir up dust and
debris which may be harmful. Release
air slowly when draining moisture or
depressurizing the compressor system.
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of
open flame or near ignition
sources including the compressor unit.
16. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
17. Use a face mask/respi-
rator when spraying
and spray in a well
ventilated area to pre-
vent health and fire
hazards.
18. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the spray-
ing area as possible to minimize over-
spray accumulation on the compressor.
19. When spraying or cleaning with sol-
vents or toxic chemicals, follow the
instructions provided by the chemi-
cal manufacturer.
Installation
Disconnect, tag and lock
out power source then
release all pressure
from the system before
attempting to install, service, relocate
or perform any maintenance.
appropriately rated equipment. Be sure
the unit is securely attached to lifting
device used. Do not lift unit by holding
onto tubes or coolers. Do not use unit
to lift other attached equipment.
skids for mounting the compressor.
Drain liquid from
tank daily.
Install and operate unit at least 24"
from any obstructions in a clean, well
ventilated area. The surrounding air
temperature should not exceed 100
This will ensure an unobstructed flow
of air to cool compressor and allow
adequate space for maintenance.
near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas
or any other source of contamination.
NOTE: If compressor operates in a hot,
moist environment, supply compressor
pump with clean, dry outside air.
Supply air should be piped in from
external sources. For two-stage com-
pressors only, use adapter kit
(TF060502AV) to connect piping to
compressor. Two adapter kits are need-
ed for two-stage 10 and 15 HP units.
TANK MOUNTING
The tank should be bolted into a flat,
even, concrete floor or on a separate
concrete foundation. Vibration isolators
should be used between the tank leg
and the floor. Model MP345800AJ isola-
tor pads are recommended for horizon-
tal units. Model MP345700AJ isolator
pads are recommended for vertical units.
When using isolator pads, do not draw
bolts tight. Allow the pads to absorb
vibrations. When isolators are used, a
flexible hose or coupling should be
installed between the tank and service
piping.
Failure to properly
install the tank can lead
to cracks at the welded
joints and possible
bursting.
PIPING

could result.
Any tube, pipe or hose connected to the
unit must be able to withstand the tem-
