SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Every person involved with the operation,
maintenance, and repair of the compressor must
read and follow the safety requirements.
Gardner Denver accepts no responsibility for
material damage or injuries that arise from non-
observation of safety conditions or the failure
to observe normal levels of care and attention,
even where this is not expressly stated in these
operating instructions.
2.1
General safety instructions
Organizational measures
The following organizational measures support the
safe operation of the compressor:
Only assigned personnel may work on the
compressor. Personnel are trained and
instructed on the compressor.
Personnel must have read the operating
instructions and particularly the Chapter “Safety
requirements”. During the assignment is too
late. This applies in particular to personnel
who are in action only occasionally, such as for
maintenance.
The responsibilities of personnel for operation,
maintenance, and repair must be clearly
defined.
Personnel should be checked regular to ensure
they are conscious of safety and hazards when
working.
Personnel in training, under instruction, being
taught, or taking part in a general training
program may work with the compressor
only under the continuous supervision of an
authorized person.
For safety-related changes to the compressor
or its operating behavior, the compressor must
be stopped immediately and the fault must be
reported to the responsible area or person.
Faults, especially those that can compromise
safety, must be corrected immediately.
Otherwise the compressor must not be
operated.
All hazard warning signs on and near the
compressor must be checked regularly for
completeness and legibility. Missing hazard
warning signs must be replaced immediately.
The time frames from tests and inspections
must be adhered to.
The operating instructions must be updated to
include instructions for supervisory or reporting
obligations in reaction to special operating
conditions, such as with respect to work
organization, process flows, responsibilities,
etc.
2.2
Warnings about Special Types
of Hazard
Electricity
DANGER
Electric shock
Deadly electrical voltage
➯
Exercise extreme caution when
working with electrical equipment.
➯
Before starting maintenance work,
disconnect the compressor and lock
it out to prevent restarting.
For all work on the compressor’s electrical
equipment, the 5 safety rules for working on
electrical systems must be followed.
The following instructions must also be followed:
Work on the electrical equipment of the
compressor may be done only by an electrician
in accordance with electrical rules.
The electrical equipment of the compressor
must be inspected regularly. Defects, such as
loose connections or scorched cables, must be
corrected immediately.
Only original fuses with the specified current
rating may be used.
Only for RS compressors:
Due to residual voltage in the capacitors, the
electrical enclosure must not be opened until
at least 10 minutes after disconnecting (main
disconnect switch OFF). Follow the hazard
warning sign on the electrical enclosure! See the
“safety symbols” table.
Noise
The sound pressure level without the sound-
proofing enclosure is approx. 95 dB(A). Remaining
for long periods alongside the compressor
without its sound-proofing enclosure can result in
irreversible hearing impairment.
Only operate the compressor without the sound-
proofing enclosure during test runs. Wear personal
hearing protection.
