Forkli Safety
1. Make sure li operator stays aware while
moving compressor.
2. Be sure load is secure and well balanced
before moving the compressor.
3. Make sure forks are fully engaged and level

4. Keep load as low as possible and observe
safe opera ng prac ces.
Figure 1: Keep unit level
Li ing Safety
1. Carefully inspect all li ing equipment and make
sure it is in good condi on. Rated capacity should
exceed compressor weight. Make sure li ing hook
has a func onal safety latch or equivalent and is
properly a ched to li ing feature.
2. Make sure li ing points are in good condi on and
hten any loose nuts or bolts before li ing.
3. Use provided li ing feature or appropriate sling. A
sling must be used when moving compressor with a
helicopter or other air-borne equipment. Be sure to
follow OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910 Subpart N.
4. Use guide ropes or equivalent to prevent twis ng
or swinging of the compressor while it is in the
air and NEVER a empt to li in high winds. Keep
compressor as low to the ground as possible.
5. Keep persons away and make sure no one is under
the compressor while it is li ed.
6. Only use li ing features provided for en
com-
pressor package. NEVER use bolts or other hooks on
invididual components to move the compressor.
7. Make sure to put compressor on a level surface that
can support the weight of the compressor and load-
ing equipment.
Do not operate unit if damaged

2. Allow su cient space around compressor for
maintenance access and adequate air ow.
Mount unit with pulley towards wall and
leave a minimum of 15 inches of clearance.
3. Use shims to level compressor if installa on
area is not at. This will avoid excessive
vibra on and premature pump wear.
DO NOT install compressor in boiler
room, paint spray room or area
where sandblas ng occurs. Make
sure inlet air is away from exhaust
fumes or other toxic, noxious or
corrosive fumes or substances.

6. Insulate cold water or other low temperature
pipes that pass overhead to avoid condensa on
dripping on compressor which could cause rust
and/or motor shor ng.
Piping
Safety Steps
1. Install appropriate ow-limi ng valves as nec-
essary according to pipe size(s) used and run
lengths. This will reduce pressure in case of hose
failure, per OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.302(b)(7).
2. Flow-limi ng valves are listed by pipe size and
rated CFM. Select appropriate valves accordingly,
in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommen-
da ons.
