AIR CARE SEMINAR TRAINING Sullair Air Care Seminars are 3---day courses that provide hands---on instruction in the proper operation, maintenance and service of Sullair equipment. Individual seminars on Industrial compressors and compressor electrical systems are presented at regular intervals throughout the year at a dedicated training facility at Sullair’s corporate headquarters in Michigan City, Indiana.

Section 1 SAFETY cumulate on, under, or around acoustical material, E. Make sure all personnel are out of and/or clear of or on any external surfaces of the air compressor or the compressor prior to attempting to start or oper- on internal surfaces of the enclosure.
Section 1 SAFETY F. Wear goggles or a full face shield when adding but by slings instead. In any event, lift and/or han- antifreeze compound to air line anti---icer systems. dle only in full compliance with OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910 subpart N. G.
Section 1 SAFETY 1.10 ENTRAPMENT A. If the compressor enclosure, if any, is large enough to hold a man and if it is necessary to enter it to perform service adjustments, inform other per- sonnel before doing so, or else secure and tag the access door in the open position to avoid the possi- bility of others closing and possibly latching the door with personnel inside.
