take precautions against air pollution and possible contamination of the breathing air.

10. On water-cooled compressors using open circuit cooling towers, protective measures must be taken to

avoid the growth of harmful bacteria such as Legionella pneumophila bacteria.

11. Do not remove any of, or tamper with, the sound-damping material.
12. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulations fitted on the machine. Every

pressure vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above atmospheric pressure
shall be protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as required.

13. Yearly inspect the air receiver. Minimum wall thickness as specified in the instruction book must be

respected. Local regulations remain applicable if they are more strict.

Also consult following safety precautions:
