Personal Hazards
Follow all safe work practices. Wear the appropriate safety
equipment.
Do not breathe the compressor air. Vaporized oil is a
respiratory hazard.
Always use the appropriate personal protective
equipment, particularly eye and hearing protection
when operating air-powered equipment.
The compressor system is under sufficient pressure
that a leak could force the air/oil mixture through the
skin directly into your bloodstream. This could cause
serious injury or death.
Never adjust or attempt to make any repairs to the
system while the engine is running. Components and
hoses under pressure could fail and cause serious
injury or death.
Never perform maintenance procedures on the system
until the compressor has been shut down for at least 5
minutes to ensure the system is fully depressurized.
After 5 minutes open the discharge valve to ensure the
system is depressurized. Failure to depressurize the
system could cause parts to separate explosively. Flying
parts could cause serious injury or death. Air/oil
mixture could be sprayed out with sufficient force to
penetrate the skin, which could cause serious injury or
death.
The engine, exhaust and the compressor system get
very hot during operation, contact with the components
or the oil can cause serious burns. Allow sufficient time
for the system to cool before performing service.
Components and hoses under pressure could separate
suddenly, fly out and cause serious injury or death. If
equipped, the auxiliary air tank must be drained before
servicing any components in the compressor system.
