Toxic And Irritating Substances; Electrical Shock; Lifting - Sullair ES-8 Operator's Manual And Parts List

Section 1
SAFETY
C. Wear personal protective equipment including
gloves and head covering when working in, on or
around the compressor/dryer.
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/dryer for
respiration (breathing) except in full compliance
with any other Federal, State or Local codes or regu-
lations.
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 utiliza-
tion equipment and DO NOT discharge air from
these systems into unventilated or other confined
areas.
C. Operate the compressor/dryer only in open or
adequately ventilated areas.
D. Locate the compressor or provide a remote inlet
so that it is not likely to ingest exhaust fumes or other
toxic, noxious or corrosive fumes or substances.
E. Coolants and lubricants used in this compressor
are typical of the industry. Care should be taken to
avoid accidental ingestion and/or skin contact. In
the event of ingestion, seek medical treatment
promptly. Wash with soap and water in the event of
skin contact. Consult the Compressor Operator's
Manual Lubrication Section for information pertain-
ing to compressor fluid fill.
F. Wear goggles or a full face shield when adding an-
tifreeze compound to air line anti---icer systems.
G. If air line anti---icer system antifreeze compound
enters the eyes or if fumes irritate the eyes, they
should be washed with large quantities of clean wa-
ter for fifteen minutes. A physician, preferably an eye
specialist, should be contacted immediately.
H. DO NOT store air line anti---icer system antifreeze
compound in confined areas.
I. The antifreeze compound used in air line anti-
freeze systems contains methanol and is toxic,
harmful or fatal if swallowed. Avoid contact with the
skin or eyes and avoid breathing the fumes. If swal-
lowed, induce vomiting by administering a table-
spoon of salt, in each glass of clean, warm water un-
til vomit is clear. Then administer two teaspoons of
baking soda in a glass of clean water. Have patient
lay down and cover eyes to exclude light. Call a phy-
sician immediately.

1.8 ELECTRICAL SHOCK

A. This compressor/dryer should be installed and
maintained in full compliance with all applicable
Federal, State and Local codes, standards and reg-
ulations, including those of the National Electrical
Code, and also including those relative to equip-
ment grounding conductors, and only by personnel
who are trained, qualified and delegated to do so.
B. Keep all parts of the body and any hand---held
tools or other conductive objects away from ex-
posed live parts of electrical system. Maintain dry
footing, stand on insulating surfaces and DO NOT
contact any other portion of the compressor/dryer
when making adjustments or repairs to exposed live
parts of the electrical system. Make all such adjust-
ments or repairs with one hand only, so as to mini-
mize the possibility of creating a current path
through the heart.
C. Attempt repairs in clean, dry and well---lighted
and ventilated areas only.
D. DO NOT leave the compressor/dryer unattended
with open electrical enclosures. If necessary to do
so, then disconnect, lock out and tag all power at
source so others will not inadvertently restore pow-
er.
E. Disconnect, lock out and tag all power at the
source prior to attempting repairs or adjustments to
rotating machinery and prior to handling any un-
grounded conductors.
F. Dry test all shutdown circuits prior to starting the
compressor after installation.

1.9 LIFTING

A. If the compressor is provided with a lifting bail,
then lift by the bail provided. If no bail is provided,
then lift by sling. Compressors to be air---lifted by he-
licopter must not be supported by the lifting bail but
by slings instead. In any event, lift and/or handle
only in full compliance with Federal, State, and Local
codes.
B. Inspect points of attachment for cracked welds
and for cracked, bent, corroded or otherwise de-
graded members and for loose bolts or nuts prior to
lifting.
C. Make sure entire lifting, rigging and supporting
structure has been inspected, is in good condition
and has a rated capacity of at least the weight of the
compressor/dryer. If you are unsure of the weight,
then weigh compressor/dryer before lifting.
D. Make sure lifting hook has a functional safety
latch or equivalent, and is fully engaged and latched
on the bail or slings.
E. Use guide ropes or equivalent to prevent twisting
or swinging of the compressor/dryer once it has
been lifted clear of the ground.
F. DO NOT attempt to lift in high winds.
