SAFETY
quired. If necessary, remove acoustical material,
clean all surfaces and then replace acoustical mate-
rial. Any acoustical material with a protective cover-
ing that has been torn or punctured should be re-
placed immediately to prevent accumulation of liq-
uids or fluid film within the material. DO NOT use
flammable 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 otherwise
degraded insulation, or terminals that are worn, dis-
colored or corroded. Keep all terminals and pres-
sure 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 support
combustion and is in close proximity, prior to at-
tempting weld repairs.
H. Keep suitable fully charged Class BC or ABC fire
extinguisher or extinguishers nearby when servicing
and operating the compressor.
I. Keep oily rags, trash, leaves, liter 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.

1.5 MOVING PARTS

A. Keep hands, arms and other parts of the body
and also clothing away from couplings, fans and
other moving parts.
B. DO NOT attempt to operate the compressor with
the fan, coupling or other guards removed.
C. Wear snug fitting clothing and confine long hair
when working around this compressor, especially
when exposed to hot or moving parts.
D. Keep access doors, if any, closed except when
making repairs or adjustments.
E. Make sure all personnel are out of and/or clear of
the compressor prior to attempting to start or oper-
ate it.
F. Disconnect and lock out all power at source and
verify at the compressor that all circuits are de-ener-
2
gized to minimize the possibility of accidental start-
up or operation, prior to attempting repairs or adjust-
ments. This is especially important when compres-
sors are remotely controlled.
G. Keep hands, feet, floors, controls and walking
surfaces clean and free of fluid, water, or other liq-
uids to minimize the possibility of slips and falls.
1.6 HOT SURFACES, SHARP EDGES AND SHARP
CORNERS
A. Avoid bodily contact with hot fluid, hot coolant,
hot surfaces and sharp edges and corners.
B. Keep all parts of the body away from all points of
air discharge.
C. Wear personal protective equipment including
gloves and head covering when working in, on or
around the compressor.
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 for respira-
tion (breathing) except in full compliance with OSHA
Standards 29 CFR 1910 and any other Federal,
State or Local Codes or regulations.
Death or serious injury can result from inhaling
compressed air without using proper safety
equipment. See OSHA standards on safety equip-
ment.
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 in unventilated or other confined ar-
eas.
C. Operate the compressor only in open or ade-
quately 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.
F. Wear goggles or a full face shield when adding
antifreeze 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
water for 15 minutes. A physician, preferably an eye
specialist, should be contacted immediately.
