All situations or circumstances cannot always be predicted and covered by established rules. Therefore, use your past experience, watch out for safety hazards and be cautious. Some general safety precautions are given below: Failure to observe these notices could result in injury to or death of personnel.
  • Page 14 Failure to observe these notices could result in damage to equipment. Stop the unit if any repairs or adjustments on or around the compressor are required. Disconnect the compressor unit from its power source, tag and lockout be- fore working on the unit – this machine is automatically controlled and may start at any time.
