General Safety Information

Because an air compressor is a piece of
machinery with moving and rotating
parts, the same precautions should be
observed as with any piece of
machinery of this type when
carelessness in operation or
maintenance is hazardous to
personnel. In addition to the many
obvious safety rules that should be
followed with this type of machinery,
the additional safety precautions as
listed below must be observed:
1.
Read all instructions completely
before operating air compressor or
unit.
2.
For installation, follow all local
electrical and safety codes, as well
as the United States National
Electrical Code (NEC) and the
Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA).
3.
Electric motors must be securely
and adequately grounded. This
can be accomplished by wiring
with a grounded, metal-clad
raceway system, to starter; by using
a separate ground wire connected
to the bare metal of the motor
frame; or other suitable means.
4.
Protect the power cable from
coming in contact with sharp
objects. Do not kink power
cable and never allow the cable to
come in contact with oil, grease,
hot surfaces, or chemicals.
5.
Make certain that the power
source conforms to the
requirements of your equipment.

Pull main disconnect switch and
disconnect any separate control
lines, if used, before attempting
to work or perform maintenance on
the air compressor or unit.
lockout power source.
7.
Do not attempt to remove any
compressor parts without first
relieving the entire system of
pressure.
8.
Do not attempt to service any part
while machine is in an operational
mode.
9.
Do not operate the compressor at
pressures in excess of its rating.
10.
Do not operate the compressor at
speeds in excess of its rating.
11. Periodically check all safety
devices for proper operation. Do not
change pressure setting or
operation in any way.
12. Be sure no tools, rags, or loose
parts are left on the compressor
or drive parts.
13.
Do not use flammable solvents
for cleaning the air inlet filter
or element and other parts.
14. Exercise cleanliness during
maintenance and when making
repairs. Keep dirt away from parts
by covering parts and exposed
openings with clean cloth or Kraft
paper.
15. Do not operate the compressor
without guards, shields and
screens in place.

16. Do not install a shut-off valve in
the discharge line, unless a
pressure relief valve, of proper
design and size, is installed in the
line between the compressor unit
and shut-off valve.
17. Do not operate compressor in
areas where there is a possibility of
ingesting flammable or toxic
fumes.
18. Be careful when touching the
exterior of a recently run motor —
it may be hot enough to be painful
or cause injury. With modern
motors this condition is normal if
operated at rated load — modern
motors are built to operate at
higher temperatures.
19. Inspect unit daily to observe and
correct any unsafe operating
conditions found.
20. Do not "play around" with
compressed air nor direct air
stream at body because this can
cause injuries.
21. Compressed air from this
machine absolutely must not be
used for food processing or
breathing air without adequate
downstream filters, purifiers and
controls.
22. Always use an air pressure
regulating device at the point of
use, and do not use air pressure
greater than marked pressure
maximum of attachment.
23. Check hoses for weak or worn
condition before each use and
make certain that all connections
are secure.
