SECTION 1
H. Open fluid filler cap only when compressor is not
running and is not pressurized. Shut down the
compressor and bleed the sump (receiver) to
zero internal pressure before removing the cap.
I. Vent all internal pressure prior to opening any
line, fitting, hose, valve, drain plug, connection or
other component, such as filters and line oilers,
and before attempting to refill optional air line
anti-icer systems with antifreeze compound.
J. Keep personnel out of line with and away from
the discharge opening of hoses, tools or other
points of compressed air discharge.
K. DO NOT use air at pressures higher than 30 psig
(2.1 bar) for cleaning purposes, and then only
with effective chip guarding and personal protec-
tive equipment per OSHA Standard 29 CFR
1910.242 (b) or any applicable Federal, State
and Local codes, standards and regulations.
L. DO NOT engage in horseplay with air hoses as
death or serious injury may result.
M. This equipment is supplied with an ASME
designed pressure vessel protected by an ASME
rated relief valve. Lift the handle once a week to
make sure the valve is functional. DO NOT lift
the handle while machine is under pressure.
N. If the machine is installed in an enclosed area it
is necessary to vent the relief valve to the outside
of the structure or to an area of non-exposure.
O. If a manual blowdown valve is provided on the
receiver, open the valve to ensure all internal
pressure has been vented prior to servicing any
pressurized component of the compressor air/
fluid system.
1.4 FIRE AND EXPLOSION
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate the compressor
in any classification of hazardous environ-
ment or potentially explosive atmosphere
unless the compressor has been specially
designed and manufactured for that duty.
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 anti-
freeze compound.
C. DO NOT permit fluids, including air line anti-icer
system antifreeze compound or fluid film, to
accumulate on, under or around acoustical mate-
rial, or on any external surfaces of the air com-
pressor. 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 acous-
tical material with a protective covering that has
been torn or punctured should be replaced
immediately to prevent accumulation of liquids or
fluid film within the material. DO NOT use flam-
mable 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 oth-
erwise 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 material
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 Class BC or ABC fire
extinguisher or extinguishers nearby when ser-
vicing and operating 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.
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.
