Safety Precautions and Warnings
Listed are some, but not all safety precautions that must be observed
with compressors and compressed air systems. Failure to follow any
of these warnings may result in severe personal injury, death, property
damage and/or compressor damage.
Air from this compressor will cause severe injury or death if used for
breathing or food processing.
Air used for these processes must meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910 or FDA 21
178.3570 regulations.
This compressor is designed for use in the compression of normal
atmospheric air only. No other gases, vapors or fumes should be exposed
to the compressor intake, nor processed through the compressor.
Disconnect all power supplies to the compressor plus any remote
controllers prior to servicing the unit.
Relieve all pressure internal to the compressor prior to servicing.
Do not depend on check valves to hold system pressure.
A properly sized safety valve must be installed in the discharge piping
ahead (upstream) of any shutoff valve (block valve), heat exchanger,
orifice or any potential blockage point. Failure to install a safety relief
valve could result in rupturing or explosion of some compressor or safety
component.
Do not change the pressure setting of the safety relief valve, restrict the
function of the safety relief valve, or replace the safety valve with a plug.
Over pressurization of some system or compressor component can
occur, resulting in severe personal injury, death and property damage.
Never use plastic pipe, rubber hose, or soldered joints in any part of
the compressed air system. Failure to ensure system compatibility with
compressor piping is dangerously unsound.
Never use a flammable or toxic solvent for cleaning the air filter or any
parts.
Do not attempt to service any part while the compressor is operating.
Do not operate the compressor at pressures in excess of its rating.
Do not remove any guards while the compressor is operating.
Observe gauges daily to ensure compressor is operating properly.
Follow all maintenance procedures and check all safety devices on
schedule.
Compressed air is dangerous, do not play with it.
Use the correct lubricant at all times.
