GENERAL SAFETY
◆
Read all manuals included with this product
carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the equipment.
◆
Follow all local electrical and safety codes as well as
the United States National Electrical Codes (NEC) and
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
◆
Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe
operation should be allowed to use the compressor.
◆
Keep visitors away and NEVER allow children in the work
area.
◆
Wear safety glasses and use hearing protection when
operating the unit.
◆
Do not stand on or use the unit as a handhold.
◆
The protection devices fitted to this compressor are provided
to offer safety of operation. The operator is solely responsible
for personal safety at all times.
These devices should not be adjusted except by an authorised
service agent.
◆
Before each use, inspect compressed air system and electrical
components for signs of damage, deterioration, weakness or
leakage. Repair or replace defective items before using.
◆
Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
Motors, electrical equipment
and controls can cause electrical
arcs that will ignite a fl ammable gas or vapor. Never
operate or repair in or near a fl ammable gas or vapor.
Never store fl ammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the
compressor.
Never operate compressor without
a beltguard. This unit can start
automatically without warning. Personal injury or
property damage could occur from contact with moving
parts.
◆
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that will get caught in
the moving parts of the unit.
Compressor parts may be hot even if
the unit is stopped.
◆
Keep fingers away from a running compressor;
fast moving and hot parts will cause injury and/or
burns.
◆
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, STOP
the engine/motor and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally an indication of trouble.
◆
To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/motor exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease.
An ASME code safety relief valve with a setting
no higher than the Maximum Allowable
Working Pressure (MAWP) of the tank MUST be installed in the air
lines or in the tank for this compressor. The ASME safety valve must
have suffi cient fl ow and pressure ratings to protect the pressurized
components from bursting. The fl ow rating can be found in the parts
manual. The safety valve in the intercooler does not provide system
protection.
Maximum operating pressure is 150 psi. Do not
operate with pressure switch or pilot valves set
higher than the factory setting.
◆
Never attempt to adjust ASME safety valve. Keep safety valve
free from paint and other accumulations.
Never attempt to repair or modify
a tank! Welding, drilling or any
other modifi cation will weaken the tank resulting in
damage from rupture or explosion. Always replace worn,
cracked or damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from tank daily.
◆
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.
◆
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 fl ammable materials
in vicinity of open fl ame or near
ignition sources including the compressor unit.
◆
Do not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides,
or other flammable substances.
◆
Use a face mask/respirator when spraying and
spray in a well ventilated area to prevent health
and fire hazards.
◆
Do not direct paint or other sprayed material
at the compressor. Locate compressor as far away from
the spraying area as possible to minimize overspray
accumulation on the compressor.
◆
When spraying or cleaning with solvents or toxic
chemicals, follow the instructions provided by the chemical
manufacturer.
