Section 1

SAFETY

to refueling.

Clean up spills of fuel, fluid, battery electrolyte or

coolant immediately if such spills occur.

Shut off air compressor and allow it to cool.

Then keep sparks, flames and other sources of igni-
tion away and

DO NOT

permit smoking in the vicin-

ity when adding fuel, or when checking or adding
electrolyte to batteries, or when checking or adding
fluid, or when checking diesel engine ether starting
aid systems or replacing cylinders, or when refilling
air line anti-icer systems antifreeze compound.

D. DO NOT

permit liquids, including air line anti-icer

system antifreeze compound or fluid film to accu-
mulate on bottom covers or on, under or around
acoustical material, or on any external or internal
surfaces of the air compressor. Wipe down using an
aqueous industrial cleaner or steam clean as
required. If necessary remove acoustical material,
clean all surfaces and then replace acoustical
material. Any acoustical material with a protective
covering that has been torn or punctured should be
replaced immediately to prevent accumulation of
liquids or fluid film within the material.

DO NOT

use

flammable solvents for cleaning purposes.

Disconnect the grounded (negative) battery con-

nection prior to attempting any repairs or cleaning
inside the enclosure. Tag the battery connections
so others will not unexpectedly reconnect it.

Keep electrical wiring, including the battery ter-

minals and other terminals, in good condition.
Replace any wiring that has cracked, cut abraded
or otherwise degraded insulation or terminals that
are worn, discolored or corroded. Keep all termi-
nals clean and tight.

Turn off battery charger before making or break-

ing connections to the battery.

Keep grounded conductive objects such as tools

away from exposed live electrical parts such as ter-
minals to avoid arcing which might serve as a
source of ignition.

Replace damaged fuel tanks or lines immediately

rather than attempt to weld or otherwise repair
them.

DO NOT

store or attempt to operate the

compressor with any known leaks in the fuel sys-
tem. Tag the compressor and render it inoperative
until repair can be made.

Remove any acoustical material or other materi-

al that may be damaged by heat or that may sup-
port combustion prior to attempting weld repairs.
Remove diesel engine ether starting aid cylinders
and air line anti-icer system components containing

antifreeze compound, prior to attempting weld
repairs in any place other than the fuel system.

NOT

weld on or near the fuel system.

Keep a suitable fully charged class BC or ABC

fire extinguisher or extinguishers nearby when serv-
icing and operating the compressor.

Keep oily rags, trash, leaves, litter or other com-

bustibles out of and away from the compressor.

Open all access doors and allow the enclosure

to ventilate thoroughly prior to attempting to start
the engine.

N. DO NOT

operate compressor under low over-

hanging leaves or permit such leaves to contact hot
exhaust system surfaces when operating the com-
pressor in forested areas.

Ethyl ether used in diesel engine ether starting

aid systems is extremely flammable. Change cylin-
ders, or maintain or troubleshoot these systems
only in well-ventilated areas away from heat, open
flame or sparks.

DO NOT

install, store or otherwise

expose ether cylinders to temperatures above
160°F (71°C). Remove ether cylinder from the com-
pressor when operating in ambient temperatures
above 60°F (16°C).

P. DO NOT

attempt to use ether as a starting aid in

gasoline engines or diesel engines with glow plugs
as serious personnel injury or property damage
may result.

Q. DO NOT

spray ether into compressor air filter or

into an air filter that serves both the engine and the
compressor as serious damage to the compressor
or personal injury may result.

Antifreeze compound used in air line anti-icer

systems contains methanol which is flammable.
Use systems and refill with compound only in well-
ventilated areas away from heat, open flames or
sparks.

DO NOT

expose any part of these systems

or the antifreeze compound to temperatures above
150°F (66°C). Vapors from the antifreeze com-
pound are heavier than air.

DO NOT

store com-

pound or discharge treated air in confined or unven-
tilated areas.

DO NOT

store containers or

antifreeze compound in direct sunlight.

Store flammable fluids and materials away from

your work area. Know where fire extinguishers are
and how to use them, and for what type of fire they
are intended. Check readiness of fire suppression
systems and detectors if so equipped.

1.5 MOVING PARTS

Keep hands, arms and other parts of the body

and also clothing away from belts, pulleys and other
