Ingersoll-Rand 7120 - Manual (Page 17)

14 7/120 (P425AWIR), 9/110 (XP375AWIR), 10/105 (HP375AWIR), 14/85 (VHP300AWIR),
7/170 (P600WIR), 10/125 (HP450WIR), 14/115 (VHP400WIR)
Whenever the machine is stopped, air will flow back into the
compressor system from devices or systems downstream of
the machine unless the service valve is closed. Install a check
valve at the machine service valve to prevent reverse flow in the
event of an unexpected shutdown when the service valve is
open.
Disconnected air hoses whip and can cause serious injury
or death. Always attach a safety flow restrictor to each hose at
the source of supply or branch line in accordance with OSHA
Regulation 29CFR Section 1926.302(b).
Never allow the unit to sit stopped with pressure in the
receiver–separator system.
Materials
The following substances may be produced during the
operation of this machine:
.
brake lining dust
. engine exhaust fumes
AVOID INHALATION
Ensure that adequate ventilation of the cooling system and
exhaust gases is maintained at all times.
The following substances are used in the manufacture of this
machine and may be hazardous to health if used incorrectly:
. anti–freeze
. compressor lubricant
. engine lubricant
. preservative grease
. rust preventative
. diesel fuel
. battery electrolyte
AVOID INGESTION, SKIN CONTACT AND INHALATION OF
FUMES
Should compressor lubricant come into contact with the
eyes, then irrigate with water for at least 5 minutes.
Should compressor lubricant come into contact with the
skin, then wash off immediately.
Consult a physician if large amounts of compressor lubricant
are ingested.
Consult a physician if compressor lubricant is inhaled.
Never give fluids or induce vomiting if the patient is
unconscious or having convulsions.
Safety data sheets for compressor and engine lubricants
should be obtained from the lubricant supplier.
Never operate the engine of this machine inside a building
without adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing exhaust fumes
when working on or near the machine.
This machine may include such materials as oil, diesel fuel,
antifreeze, brake fluid, oil/air filters and batteries which may
require proper disposal when performing maintenance and
service tasks. Contact local authorities for proper disposal of
these materials.
Battery
A battery contains sulphuric acid and can give off gases
which are corrosive and potentially explosive. Avoid contact
with skin, eyes and clothing. In case of contact, flush area
immediately with water.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SLAVE START A FROZEN BATTERY
SINCE THIS MAY CAUSE IT TO EXPLODE.
Exercise extreme caution when using booster battery. To
jump battery, connect ends of one booster cable to the positive
(+) terminal of each battery. Connect one end of other cable to
the negative (–) terminal of the booster battery and other end to
a ground connection away from dead battery (to avoid a spark
occurring near any explosive gases that may be present). After
starting unit, always disconnect cables in reverse order.
Radiator
Hot engine coolant and steam can cause injury. Ensure that
the radiator filler cap is removed with due care and attention.
Do not remove the pressure cap from a HOT radiator. Allow
radiator to cool down before removing pressure cap.
Transport
When loading or transporting machines ensure that the
specified lifting and tie down points are used.
When loading or transporting machines ensure that the
towing vehicle, its size, weight, towing hitch and electrical
supply are all suitable to provide safe and stable towing at
speeds either, up to the legal maximum for the country in which
it is being towed or, as specified for the machine model if lower
than the legal maximum.
Ensure that the maximum trailer weight does not exceed the
maximum gross weight of the machine (by limiting the
equipment load), limited by the capacity of the running gear.
Note:
Gross mass (on data plate) is for the basic machine and fuel
only, excluding any fitted options, tools, equipment and foreign
materials.
Before towing the machine, ensure that:–
. the tyres and towing hitch are in a serviceable condition.
. the canopy is secure.
. all ancillary equipment is stored in a safe and secure manner.
. the brakes and lights are functioning correctly and meet
necessary
road traffic requirements.
. break-away cables/safety chains are connected to the
towing
vehicle.
The machine must be towed in a level attitude in order to
maintain correct handling, braking and lighting functions. This
can be achieved by correct selection and adjustment of the
vehicle towing hitch and, on variable height running gear,
adjustment of the drawbar.
To ensure full braking efficiency, the front (towing eye)
section must always be set level.
When adjusting variable height running gear:–
