ROUTIne MAInTenAnCe

This section refers to the various components which
require periodic maintenance and replacement.
It should be noted that the intervals between service
requirement may be significantly reduced as a
consequence of poor operating environment. This
would include effects of atmospheric contamination
and extremes of temperature.
The SERVICE/MAINTENANCE CHART indicates the various
components' descriptions and the intervals when
maintenance has to take place. Oil capacities, etc., can
be found in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of this
manual.
Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectly
handled. Before doing any work on the unit, ensure
that all pressure is vented from the system and that the
machine cannot be started accidentally.
CAUTIOn
Before beginning any work on the compressor,
open, lock and tag the main electrical
disconnect and close the isolation valve on
the compressor discharge. Vent pressure from
the unit by slowly unscrewing the coolant fill
cap one turn. Unscrewing the fill cap opens a
vent hole, drilled in the cap, allowing pressure
to release to atmosphere. Do not remove the
fill cap until all pressure has vented from the
unit. Also vent piping by slightly opening the
drain valve. when opening the drain valve or
the coolant fill cap, stand clear of the valve
discharge and wear appropriate eye protection.
Ensure that maintenance personnel are properly trained,
competent and have read the Maintenance Manuals.
Prior to attempting any maintenance work, ensure
that:-
•
all air pressure is fully discharged and isolated
from the system. If the automatic blowdown
valve is used for this purpose, then allow enough
time for it to complete the operation.
•
the machine cannot be started accidentally or
otherwise.
•
all residual electrical power sources (mains and
battery) are isolated.

Prior to opening or removing panels or covers to
work inside a machine, ensure that:-
•
anyone entering the machine is aware of the
reduced level of protection and the additional
hazards, including hot surfaces and intermittently
moving parts.
•
the machine cannot be started accidentally or
otherwise.
Prior to attempting any maintenance work on a
running machine, ensure that:-
DAnGeR
Only properly trained and competent persons
should undertake any maintenance tasks with
the compressor running or with electrical power
connected.
•
the work carried out is limited to only those tasks
which require the machine to run.
•
the work carried out with safety protection
devices disabled or removed is limited to only
those tasks which require the machine to be
running with safety protection devices disabled
or removed.
•
all hazards present are known (e.g. pressurised
components, electrically live components,
removed panels, covers and guards, extreme
temperatures, inflow and outflow of air,
intermittently moving parts, safety valve
discharge etc.).
•
appropriate personal protective equipment is
worn.
•
loose clothing, jewellery, long hair etc. is made
safe.
•
warning signs indicating that Maintenance Work
is in Progress are posted in a position that can be
clearly seen.
Upon completion of maintenance tasks and prior to
returning the machine into service, ensure that:-
•
the machine is suitably tested.
•
all guards and safety protection devices are
refitted and correctly working.
•
all panels are replaced, canopy and doors closed.
•
hazardous materials are effectively contained and
disposed of in a manner compliant with local or
National environmental protection codes.
