1. PRODUCT SAFETY
(COMPRESSOR / COMPRESSED AIR)
MEA DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITIES FOR DAMAGE OR LOSS OF EQUIPMENT AND PROPERTY,
PERSONAL INJURIES (INCLUDING DEATH), AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF
ANY MEA SYSTEM NOT USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL.
ALL UNITS ARE SHIPPED WITH A DETAILED OPERATOR’S MANUAL. THIS MANUAL CONTAINS
VITAL INFORMATION FOR THE SAFE USE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION OF THE UNIT. READ THE
OPERATOR’S MANUAL BEFORE STARTING THE UNIT. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY HARM OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Care is required when working with an air compressor or compressed air. Compressed air is one of the many
ways energy can be stored. Releasing the stored energy in an uncontrolled manner can result in catastrophic
consequences. Death and permanent disability are possibilities that can occur due to mis usage. The
following are suggested as minimum precautions to be used when operating the SMAC Air Compressor. It
is important that each work site shall perform a risk analysis and produce a procedure to eliminate or control
the hazardous condition to minimise the risk to personnel and equipment. Health and Safety Regulations
necessitate that this is a compulsory process to be carried out on each site. These, together with site specific
safety procedures will help to minimize the risk to accidents, personnel injury and loss of life. It is the
responsibility of the employer to ensure that the work site is safe for all employees and that the safety
procedures are followed by all employees.
SAFETY WHEN OPERATING AN AIR COMPRESSOR
•
Do not bypass or disable the oil temperature and pressure sensors – unless planning on running to
failure (MEA does not recommend the practice).
•
Do not expose the tank or compressor to extreme heat.
•
Do not perform any service or repairs until the system has been completely relieved of air pressure.
•
Maintenance and repairs on the system should only be done by qualified personnel.
•
Do not operate the compressor while driving (vehicle mounted systems).
•
Do not tamper with the pressure relief valve.
•
Follow safe work practice, wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating
air-powered equipment, particularly eye and hearing protection.
•
Avoid contact with rotating components, ensure all safety guards are in place.
•
Avoid all contact with pressurized air. If it penetrates the skin, it can enter blood stream and cause
death.
•
Vaporized oil propelled by high pressure is an explosive mixture. To prevent compressor explosion
or fire, make sure that the air entering the compressor is free of flammable vapours.
•
Do not breathe the compressor air, vaporized oil is a respiratory hazard.
•
Stay clear of all moving parts when the system is operating.
•
Follow safety procedures for service operations as set by the authority.
•
Run the system at idle speed and under no load conditions for 2 to 3 minutes before turning the
system off to allow system cooling and lubrication to occur.
