SAFETY

1.4 FIRE AND EXPLOSION

When installing a Base Load Transfer (BLT) Sys-
tem, remove jumpers between 16---17 & 18---19
(Dual Control Compressors) so the other com-
pressor does not backfeed defeating the shut-
down circuitry.
A. Clean up spills of lubricant or other combustible
substances immediately, if such spills occur.
B. Shut off the compressor and allow it to cool.
Then keep sparks, flames and other sources of
ignition away and DO NOT permit smoking in the
vicinity when checking or adding lubricant or when
refilling air line anti---icer systems with antifreeze
compound.
C. DO NOT permit fluids, including air line anti---
icer system antifreeze compound or fluid film to ac-
cumulate on, under, or around acoustical material,
or on any external surfaces of the air compressor or
on internal surfaces of the enclosure. 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 punc-
tured should be replaced immediately to prevent
accumulation of liquids or fluid film within the mate-
rial. DO NOT use flammable solvents for cleaning
purposes.
D. Disconnect and lock out all power at source prior
to attempting any repairs or cleaning of the com-
pressor or of the inside of the enclosure, if any.
E. Keep electrical wiring, including all terminals and
pressure connectors in good condition. Replace
any wiring that has cracked, cut abraded or other-
wise degraded insulation, or terminals that are
worn, discolored or corroded. Keep all terminals
and pressure connectors clean and tight.
F. Keep grounded and/or conductive objects such
as tools away from exposed live electrical parts
such as terminals to avoid arcing which might
serve as a source of ignition.
G. Remove any acoustical material or other materi-
al that may be damaged by heat or that may sup-
port combustion and is in close proximity, prior to
attempting weld repairs.
H. Keep suitable fully charged fire extinguisher or
extinguishers nearby when servicing and operat-
ing the compressor.
I. Keep oily rags, trash, leaves, litter or other com-
bustibles out of and away from the compressor.
J. DO NOT operate the compressor without proper
flow of cooling air or water or with inadequate flow
of lubricant or with degraded lubricant.

WARNING
!
K. DO NOT attempt to operate the compressor in
any classification of hazardous environment unless
the compressor has been specially designed and
manufactured for that duty.

1.5 MOVING PARTS

A. Keep hands, arms and other parts of the body
and also clothing away from couplings, fans and
other moving parts.
B. DO NOT attempt to operate the compressor
with the fan, coupling 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.
D. Keep access doors, if any, closed except when
making repairs or adjustments.
E. Make sure all personnel are out of and/or clear of
the compressor prior to attempting to start or oper-
ate it.
F. Disconnect and lock out all power at source and
verify at the compressor that all circuits are de---en-
ergized to minimize the possibility of accidental
start---up or operation, prior to attempting repairs
or adjustments. This is especially important when
compressors are remotely controlled.
G. Keep hands, feet, floors, controls and walking
surfaces clean and free of fluid, water, or other liq-
uids to minimize the 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.
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.

1.7 TOXIC AND IRRITATING SUBSTANCES

A. DO NOT use air from this compressor for respi-
ration (breathing) except in full compliance with
any Federal, State or Local Codes or regulations.
Death or serious injury can result from inhaling
compressed air without using proper safety
equipment.
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 in unventilated or other con-
fined areas.
