Keep the towing vehicle or equipment carrier,
compressor hoses, tools and all personnel at
least 10 feet (3 m) from power lines and buried
cables.

tools or other conductive objects away from

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
helicopter

must not

be supported by the lifting

bail, but by slings instead. In any event, lift only in
full compliance 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 condi-
tion and has a rated capacity of at least the net
weight of the compressor plus an additional 10%
allowance for weight of water, snow, ice, mud,
stored tools, and equipment. If your are unsure
of the weight, then weigh compressor before lift-
ing.

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
lifted 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 when-
ever 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
water, snow, ice, mud, stored tools, and/or equip-
ment.

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.
