Section 1

SAFETY

antifreeze compound enters the eyes or if fumes
irritate the eyes, they should be washed with large
quantities of clean water for 15 minutes. A physi-
cian, preferably any eye specialist, should be con-
tacted immediately.

K. DO NOT

store ether cylinders or air line anti-icer

system antifreeze compound in operator’s cabs or
in other similar confined areas.

The antifreeze compound used in air line anti-

icer systems contains methanol and is toxic, harm-
ful or fatal if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin
or eyes and avoid breathing the fumes. If swal-
lowed, induce vomiting by administering a table-
spoon of salt in each glass of clean warm water
until vomit is clear, then administer two tablespoons
of baking soda in a glass of clean water. Have
patient lay down and cover eyes to exclude light.
Call a physician immediately.

1.8 ELECTRICAL SHOCK

Keep the towing vehicle or equipment carrier,

compressor hoses, tools and all personnel at least
10 feet (3 meters) from power lines and buried
cables.

Keep all parts of the body and any hand-held

tools or other conductive objects away from
exposed live parts of 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 electrical system.

Attempt repairs only in clean, dry and well- light-

ed and ventilated areas.

Stay clear of the compressor during electrical

storms! It can attract lightning.

1.9 LIFTING

If the compressor is provided with a lifting bail,

then lift by the bail provided. If no bail is provided,
then lift by sling. Compressors to be air lifted by hel-
icopter must not be supported by the lifting bail, but
by slings instead. In any event, lift only in full com-
pliance with OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1910 subpart
N or any other Local, State, Military and Federal
regulations that may apply.

Inspect lifting bail and points of attachment for

cracked welds and for cracked, bent, corroded or
otherwise degraded members and for loose bolts or
nuts prior to lifting.

Make sure entire lifting, rigging and supporting

structure has been inspected, is in good condition
and has a rated capacity of at least the net weight
of the compressor plus an additional 10%

allowance for weight of snow, ice, mud or stored
tools and equipment. If your are unsure of the
weight, then weigh compressor before lifting.

Make sure lifting hook has a functional safety

latch or equivalent, and is fully engaged and latched
on the bail.

Use guide ropes or equivalent to prevent twisting

or swinging of the compressor once it has been lift-
ed clear of the ground.

F. DO NOT

attempt to lift in high winds.

Keep all personnel out from under and away

from the compressor whenever it is suspended.

Lift compressor no higher than necessary.

Keep lift operator in constant attendance whenev-

er compressor is suspended.

Set compressor down only on a level surface

capable of supporting at least its net weight plus an
additional 10% allowance for the weight of snow,
ice, mud or stored tools and equipment.

If the compressor is provided with parking

brakes, make sure they are set, and in any event,
block or chock both sides of all running wheels
before disengaging the lifting hook.

1.10 ENTRAPMENT

Make sure all personnel are out compressor

before closing and latching enclosure doors.

If the compressor is large enough to hold a man

and if it is necessary to enter it to perform service
adjustments, inform other personnel before doing
so, or else secure the access door in the open posi-
tion to avoid the possibility of others closing and
possibly latching the door with personnel inside.

1.11 JUMP STARTING

Observe all safety precautions mentioned else-

where in this manual.

Batteries may contain hydrogen gas which is

flammable and explosive. Keep flames, sparks and
other sources of ignition away.

Batteries contain acid which is corrosive and poi-

sonous.

DO NOT

allow battery acid to contact

eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces as serious
personal injury or property damage could result.
Flush any contacted areas thoroughly with water
immediately. Always wear an acid-resistant apron
and face shield when attempting to jump start the
compressor.

Remove all vent caps (if so equipped) from the

battery or batteries in the compressor.

DO NOT

per-

mit dirt or foreign matter to enter the open cells.
