5. Prior to any maintenances on the unit, the operator
must
confirm that:
⚫
The unit is stopped;
⚫
The internal pressure in the unit has been discharged;
⚫
The power supply off and is correctly isolated.
6.
Do not
use flammable solutions to clean the compressor or its auxiliary equipment. Protection of electrical
components is necessary when using water based solutions to prevent ingress of water into electrical
enclosures of the unit.
7. In the event of the failure of a component it
must
be replaced immediately. Failure to do this may lead to
additional losses.
When determining where to set up the compressor in the shop, or when taking the air compressor to a job site, the
most important consideration is access to an adequate and properly fused power supply. Also, make sure the
compressor is not operating in an environment where there are any explosive, flammable or caustic fumes or gases.
A clear and well ventilated area is best for its safe operation. Place the compressor on a solid and level surface. Make
sure that the hoses you attach to your pneumatic device will be unrestricted in movement and not subject to being run
over by vehicles or punctured by any sharp objects in the area.
Since air compressors are often used for a sustained period of time, sometimes in restricted areas, it is also best to
wear ear protection to avoid long term exposure to the sound of the electric motor and compression pump.
