NOTES

Notes are used for supplementary information.

General Information

Ensure that the operator reads and understands the decals and

consults the manuals before maintenance or operation.

Ensure that the Operation and Maintenance manual, and the

manual holder, are not removed permanently from the machine.

Ensure that maintenance personnel are adequately trained,

competent and have read the Maintenance Manuals.

Compressed air and electricity can be dangerous. Before

undertaking any work on the compressor, ensure that the electrical
supply has been isolated and the compressor has been relieved of all
pressure.

Make sure that all protective covers are in place and that the

canopy/doors are closed during operation.

Installation of this compressor must be in accordance with

recognised electrical codes and any local Health and Safety Codes.

The use of plastic bowls on line filters without metal guards can be

hazardous. Their safety can be affected by either synthetic lubricants,
or the additives used in mineral oils. Metal bowls should be used on a
pressurised system.

Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectly handled. Before

doing any work on the unit, ensure that all pressure is vented from the
system and that the machine cannot be started accidentally.

Compressed air

Ensure that the machine is operating at the rated pressure and that

the rated pressure is known to all relevant personnel.

All air pressure equipment installed in or connected to the machine

must have safe working pressure ratings of at least the machine rated
pressure.

If more than one compressor is connected to one common

downstream plant, effective check valves and isolation valves must be
fitted and controlled by work procedures, so that one machine cannot
accidently be pressurised / over pressurised by another.

Compressed air must not be used for a direct feed to any form of

breathing apparatus or mask.

The discharged air contains a very small percentage of compressor

lubricating oil and care should be taken to ensure that downstream
equipment is compatible.

If the discharged air is to be ultimately released into a confined

space, adequate ventilation must be provided.

When using compressed air always use appropriate personal

protective equipment.

All pressure containing parts, especially flexible hoses and their

couplings, must be regularly inspected, be free from defects and be
replaced according to the Manual instructions.

Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectly handled. Before

doing any work on the unit, ensure that all pressure is vented from the
system and that the machine cannot be started accidentally.

Avoid bodily contact with compressed air.

The safety valve located in the separator tank must be checked

periodically  for correct operation.

Materials

The following substances are used in the manufacture of this

machine and may be hazardous to health if used incorrectly:
.

preservative grease

.

rust preventative

.

compressor coolant

AVOID INGESTION, SKIN CONTACT AND INHALATION OF
FUMES

For further information, consult Material Data Sheets ACGP 011/96

(ULTRA COOLANT) and IRACA145 (food grade coolant).

Should compressor lubricant come into contact with the eyes, then

irrigate with water for at least 5 minutes.

Should compressor lubricant come into contact with the skin, then

wash off immediately.

Consult a physician if large amounts of compressor lubricant are

ingested.

Consult a physician if compressor lubricant is inhaled.

Never give fluids or induce vomiting if the patient is unconscious or

having convulsions.

Transport

When loading or transporting machines ensure that the specified

lifting and tie down points are used.

Electrical

Keep all parts of the body and any hand–held tools or other

conductive objects, away from exposed live parts of the compressor
electrical system. Maintain dry footing, stand on insulating surfaces
and do not contact any other portion of the compressor when making
adjustments or repairs to exposed live parts of the compressor
electrical system.

Close and lock all access doors when the compressor is left

unattended.

Do not use extinguishers intended for Class A or Class B fires on

electrical fires. Use only extinguishers suitable for class BC or class
ABC fires.

Attempt repairs only in clean, dry, well lighted and ventilated areas.

Connect the compressor only to electrical systems that are

compatible with its electrical characteristics and that are within it’s rated
capacity.
