Instructions for safe operation - risks

 Check the unit on the inside and outside on a daily basis in order to make sure it is in good working
condition.
 Do not start the operation of the unit if you do not ensure your own safety.
 Before you operate the compressor, make sure that requirements are met for the safe and smooth
operation of the unit.
 Floor must be even. Adjust the anti vibration pads, so as the unit is in horizontal position and shocks
are minimized.
 Place the compressor in a well-ventilated area. Make sure that the intake air for the compressor is
clean and cool. Prevent the hot cooling air from recirculating to the cooling air intake. Make sure
that foreign objects cannot get into the compressor with the intake air. Make sure that the intake air
does not contain any smells, fuel or fumes, explosive or inflammable gases or harmful
substances.
 Units with petrol engine or diesel engine should not be used indoors.
 Assign the unit (if it uses petrol engine or diesel engine) towards the direction of the wind, so
as fumes are getting away. In this case, use the input hose of the inlet air filter in such a way,
that fumes are avoided to enter the compressor.
 Keep the compressor away from flammable material. Do not smoke when opening the fuel tank.
 If any malfunction of the unit occurs, stop immediately its operation and check – fix the problem.
 Before any maintenance or repair works, inform the users.
 When replacing heavy-weight components, strap them carefully on the proper lift truck. Never walk
under such components when they are lifted.
 Before any maintenance works, clean the area from out-of-use material, oils, fuel or other liquids from
the unit. Do not use corrosive materials. If you clean the unit by water or steam, make sure that neither
(water nor steam) comes close to the electric motor or the electric system and ensure that they will not
enter open hoses. For cleaning, use lint-free cloth.
 After cleaning or repairing the unit, check all hoses for leaks, loose connections, wear or damages.
Tight again all connections and recheck every maintained safety device.
 Ensure safe and environmental friendly disposal of consumable materials and old spare parts.
 Our company suggests that the compressor should operate with automatic stop, adjusted 10%
above the working pressure.
