Temperature
The operation of the combustion engine and the compression generate high temperatures. Touch‐
ing hot components may cause injuries.
➤ Avoid contact with hot components.
These include, for example, engine, compressor airend, oil and compressed air lines, coolers
and oil separator tank. Any objects in or near the flow of exhaust gas or discharged cooling air
will become very hot.
➤ Wear protective clothing.
➤ Wear protective gloves when connecting or disconnecting compressed air hoses.
➤ Allow the machine to cool down before commencing any maintenance work.
➤ If welding is carried out on or near the machine, take adequate measures to prevent sparks or
heat from igniting oil vapours or parts of the machine.
Noise
The enclosure absorbs the machine noise to a tolerable level. This function will be effective only if
the body is closed.
➤ Operate the machine only with closed body and intact sound insulation.
➤ Wear hearing protection if necessary.
The blowing-off of the pressure relief valve can be particularly loud.
➤ Never generate compressed air without consumers being connected.
Operating fluids/materials
The used operating fluids and materials can cause adverse health effects. Suitable safety meas‐
ures must be taken in order to prevent injuries.
➤ Strictly forbid fire, open flame and smoking.
➤ Follow safety regulations when dealing with fuel, lubricants, antifreeze and chemical substan‐
ces.
➤ Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
➤ Do not inhale fumes or aerosols from fuel or oil.
➤ Do not eat or drink while handling fuel, cooling and lubricating fluids or antifreeze.
➤ Keep suitable fire extinguishing agents ready for use.
➤ Use only KAESER approved operating materials.
Unsuitable spare parts
Unsuitable spare parts compromise the safety of the machine.
➤ Use only spare parts approved by the manufacturer for use in this machine.
➤ Use only genuine KAESER pressure components.
Conversion or modification of the machine
Modifications, additions or conversions to or of the machine can result in unpredictable hazards.
