Moving Parts - Sullair 185 Operators Manual And Parts Lists

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
compressor when operating in ambient tempera-
tures 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.
R. 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 un-
ventilated areas. DO NOT store containers or anti-
freeze compound in direct sunlight.
S. 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

A. Keep hands, arms and other parts of the body
and also clothing away from belts, pulleys and
other moving parts.
B. DO NOT attempt to operate the compressor
with the fan or other guards removed.
C. Wear snug---fitting clothing and confine long hair
when working around this compressor, especially
when exposed to hot or moving parts inside the en-
closure.
D. Keep access doors closed except when making
repairs or adjustments, performing service or when
starting or stopping the compressor.
E. Make sure all personnel are out of and clear of
the compressor prior to attempting to start or oper-

F. Shut off engine before adding fuel, fluid, coolant
lubricants, air line antifreeze compound or battery
electrolyte, or before replacing ether starting aid
cylinders.
G. Disconnect the grounded negative battery con-
nection to prevent accidental engine operation
prior to attempting repairs or adjustments. Tag the
battery connection so others will not unexpectedly
reconnect it.
H. When adjusting the controls, it may require op-
eration of the equipment during adjustment. DO
NOT come in contact with any moving parts while
adjusting the control regulator and setting the en-
gine RPM. Make all other adjustments with the en-
gine shut off. When necessary, make adjustment,
other than setting control regulator and engine
RPM, with the engine shut off. If necessary, start the
engine and check adjustment. If adjustment is in-
correct, shut engine off, readjust, then restart the
engine to recheck adjustment.
I. Keep hands, feet, floors, controls and walking
surfaces clean and free of fluid, water, antifreeze or
other liquids to minimize possibility of slips and
falls.
1.6 HOT SURFACES, SHARP EDGES AND SHARP
CORNERS
A. Avoid bodily contact with hot fluid, hot coolant,
hot surfaces and sharp edges and corners.
B. Keep all parts of the body away from all points of
air discharge and away from hot exhaust gases.
C. Wear personal protective equipment including
gloves and head covering when working in, on or
around the compressor.
D. Keep a first aid kit handy. Seek medical assis-
tance promptly in case of injury. DO NOT ignore
small cuts and burns as they may lead to infection.

Death or serious injury may occur from inhaling
compressed air without using proper safety
equipment. See OSHA standards, and/or any
Federal, State or Local codes or regulations on

B. DO NOT use air line anti---icer systems in air
lines supplying respirators or other breathing air
utilization equipment and DO NOT discharge air
from these systems into unventilated or other con-
fined areas.
C. Operate the compressor only in open or well---
ventilated areas.
D. If the compressor is operated indoors, dis-
charge engine exhaust fumes outdoors.
E. Locate the compressor so that exhaust fumes
are not apt to be carried towards personnel, air in-
takes servicing personnel areas or towards the air
intake of any portable or stationary compressor.
