Safety Precautions
Never operate the compressor without first observing all safety warnings and carefully reading
the Operation and Maintenance Manual shipped from the factory with this compressor.
Ensure the operator reads and understands the decals and consults the manuals before
operation or performing maintenance.
Ensure all maintenance personnel are adequately trained, competent, and have read the
manuals.
Ensure all protective covers are in place and the canopy/doors are closed during operation.
The specification of this compressor is such that the compressor is not suitable for use in
flammable gas risk areas. If such an application is required, all local regulations, codes of
practice, and site rules must be observed. To ensure the compressor can operate in a safe
and reliable manner, additional equipment such as gas detection, exhaust spark arrestors,
and intake (shut-off) valves may be required, dependent on local regulations or the degree of
risk involved.
A weekly visual check must be made of all fasteners/fixing screws securing mechanical parts.
In particular, safety-related parts such as coupling hitch, drawbar components, wheels, tires,
and lifting bail should be checked for total security.
All components which are loose, damaged, or unserviceable must be rectified without delay.
Air discharged from this compressor may contain carbon monoxide or other contaminants
which will cause serious injury or death. Do not breathe discharged air.
This compressor produces loud noise with the doors open or service valve vented. Extended
exposure to loud noise can cause hearing loss. Always wear hearing protection when doors
are open or service valve is vented.
Never inspect or service the compressor without first disconnecting battery cable(s) to prevent
accidental starting.
Do not use petroleum products (solvents or fuels) under high pressure as this can penetrate
the skin and result in serious illness. Wear eye protection while cleaning the compressor with
compressed air to prevent debris from injuring eye(s).
Rotating fan blade can cause serious injury. Do not operate without fan guard in place.
Use care to avoid contacting hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold and piping, air receiver,
and air discharge piping, etc.).
Ether is an extremely volatile, highly flammable gas. When it is specified as a starting aid, use
sparingly. Do not use Ether if the engine has glow plugs or inlet heater starting aids. Engine
damage will result.
Never operate the compressor with guards, covers, or screens removed. Keep hands, hair,
clothing, tools, blow gun tips, etc. well away from moving parts.

Compressed Air
Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectly handled. Prior to performing maintenance or
service on the compressor, ensure all pressure is vented from the system and the compressor
cannot be started accidentally.
Ensure the compressor is operating at the rated pressure and the rated pressure is known to
all relevant personnel.
All air pressure equipment installed in, or connected to, the compressor must have safe
working pressure ratings of at least the compressor safety valve setting.
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, to ensure one
compressor cannot accidentally be pressurized or over pressurized by another.
Compressed air must NOT be used for a direct feed to any form of breathing apparatus or
mask.
Compressed air can cause serious injury or death. Relieve pressure before removing filler
plugs/caps, fittings, or covers.
Air pressure can remain trapped in air supply line which can result in serious injury or death.
Always carefully vent air supply line at tool or vent valve before performing any service or
maintenance.
Discharged air contains a very smallpercentage of compressor lubricating oil and care should
be taken to ensure downstream equipment is compatible.
If discharged air is to be ultimately released into a confined space, adequate ventilation must
be provided.
When using compressed air, always use appropriate personal protective equipment.
All pressure containing parts, especially flexible hoses and their couplings, must be regularly
inspected, be free from defects, and be replaced according to the manual instructions.
Avoid bodily contact with compressed air.
The safety valve located in the separator tank must be checked periodically for correct
operation.
Whenever the compressor is stopped, air will flow back into the compressor from downstream
devices or systems unless the service valve is closed. Install a check valve at the compressor
servicevalveto preventreverseflowin the eventofan unexpected shutdownwhenthe 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 compressor to sit stopped with pressure in the separator tank or piping.
