5.0 SAFETY
5.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety instructions in the operators manual are bold−faced for
emphasis. The signal words DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are
used to indicate hazard seriousness levels as follows.
Ensure that the operator reads and understands the
decals and consults the manuals before maintenance or
operation.
DANGER
Indicates the presence of a hazard which WILL
cause serious injury, death or property damage, if
ignored.
WARNING
Indicates the presence of a hazard which CAN
cause serious injury, death or property damage, if
ignored.
Ensure that the Operation and Maintenance manual, and
the manual holder, are not permanently removed from
the machine.
Ensure that maintenance personnel are adequately
trained, competent and have read the Maintenance
Manuals.
CAUTION
Indicates the presence of a hazard which WILL or
can cause injury or property damage, if ignored.
NOTICE
Indicates important set–up, operating or
maintenance information.
5.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
General Information
Compressed air and electricity can be dangerous. Before
undertaking any work on the compressor, ensure that the
electrical supply has been isolated, locked off, tagged and
the compressor has been relieved of all pressure.
Make sure that all protective covers are in place and that
the canopy/doors are closed during operation.
Installation of this compressor must be in accordance with
recognized electrical codes and any local Health and Safety
Codes.
Use only safety solvent for cleaning the compressor and
auxiliary equipment.
Compressed air
Ensure that the machine is operating at the rated pressure
and that the rated pressure is known to all relevant
personnel.
All air pressure equipment installed in or connected to
the machine must have safe working pressure ratings of
at least the machine rated pressure.
If more than one compressor is connected to one
common downstream plant, effective check valves and
isolation valves must be fitted and controlled by work
procedures, so that one machine cannot accidentally be
pressurized / over pressurized by another.
If a safety valve is installed between the isolation valve
and the compressor, it must have sufficient capacity to
relieve the full capacity of the compressor(s).
The discharged air contains a very small percentage of
compressor lubricating oil and care should be taken to
ensure that downstream equipment is compatible.
If the discharged air is to be ultimately released into a
confined space, adequate ventilation must be provided.
The use of plastic bowls on line filters without metal
guards can be hazardous. Their safety can be affected
by either synthetic lubricants, or the additives used in
mineral oils. Metal bowls should be used on a pressurized
system.
