Moving Parts; Hot And Sharp Surfaces; Flammable And Irritant Materials - Hertz HGS 2-15 Operator's Handbook Manual

Maintain the electrical and pressure connections in good condition. Immediately replace the
damaged cables or hoses. Maintain these connections clean and regularly.
Ensure that there is not any loose or broken electrical cable at any point of the compressor.
Remove this cable in case of risk of electricity.
Prior to welding remove sound insulation materials.
Keep a full fire extinguishing fire bottle that is continuously traced near the compressor.
Keep away fatty fabric, chips, paper etc. type of litters from the compressor.
Do not operate the compressor when there is not suitable ventilation.
Never run the compressor if it is not manufactured specially for severe environmental
conditions.

1.5 MOVING PARTS

Do not operate the compressor while the doors are open or belt and fan guards are not
installed.
Keep your hands, arms and cloths especially the sleeves and skirt ends away from the moving
parts of the machinery accessory. Wear tight clothes and cap.
When compressor is running, the cowlings may rapidly open with the effect of the cooling fan.
Take attention to avoid dropping of cowlings on your head or foots.
Keep away all personnel away from compressor against possible splashes and explosion.
In order to avoid accidental operation of the compressor by some one; prior repair,
maintenance or adjustment processes remove the main power cable of the compressor from
main switch or lock the circuit beaker.
If the compressor is remote controlled; ensure that this situation is indicated by a warning label
on compressor and informed at the remote control room.
Protect the footed floors and corridors around the compressor from oil and water to avoid
slipping or falling.
Provide sufficient lighting for making the moving parts visible at the place of operation.

1.6 HOT AND SHARP SURFACES

Some equipments (airend unit, cooler, separator, oil filter etc) operating inside the compressor
may heat up that may cause burns in case of contact. In the meanwhile oil is hot during
operation. Do not contact such surfaces.
If you see oil splash from any place do not try to prevent this by your hand. Only stop the
compressor by pressing emergency stop button and switch off the main switch.
Do not put your head or your hands, legs inside the compressor for checking any thing. Do not
use a stick, bar, wire etc.
Do not use your hands for checking belt- pulley group, fan propeller, suction valve etc. Do not
try to stop rotating and jointed parts by your hands and legs. Your fingers may rupture.
Stay away from all discharge points (safety and discharge valves, exhausts, nozzles etc.) that
have a direct air outlet from compressor. The released air may be very hot.
Wear protective gloves and banner if you are working on or in the compressor.
Keep a first aid kit at the compressor room. In case of any injury contact the doctor. Do not
ignore small scratches and cuts that may cause infection complications.

1.7 FLAMMABLE AND IRRITANT MATERIALS

Do not inhale the compressed air out of compressor.
DIRECTLY INHALING THE COMPRESSED AIR MAY CAUSE SEVERE INJURY AND
DEATH. NEVER APPLY THE COMPRESSED AIR TO MOUTH, EYES AND EARS.
Never connect the compressed air directly to the respiratory equipment and to the lines of this
equipment.
Do not discharge the air of compressor into the rooms that accommodate human being.
Only operate the compressor at sections (arranged as a compressor room) with sufficient
ventilation.
Place the compressor away from the sandblasting furnace (pulverous), heater furnace (hot),
boiler furnace (humid), dye-chemical finish units (chemical and corrosive) and all kinds of
medium that have inflammable, explosive gases not make any suction.
Industrial oil is used in the compressor. Avoid eye and skin contact of this oil. Wash the
contact place with plenty of water. For lubrication specification of your compressor see the
lubrication section of this handbook.
