DRIVES

It is important that the compressor and motor pulleys are aligned properly

and the V belt is correctly tensioned. Improper pulley alignment and belt

tension are causes for motor overloading, excessive vibration, and prema-

ture belt and/or bearing failure.

CAUTION

Removal or painting over safety labels will result in uninformed condi-

tions. This may result in personal injury or property damage. Warnings

signs and labels shall be provided with enough light to read, conspicu-

ously located and maintained for legibility. Do not remove any warning,

caution, or instructional material attached!

Provisions should be made to have the instruction manual readily avail-

able to the operator and maintenance personnel. If for any reason any

part of the manual becomes illegible or if the manual is lost, have it re-

placed immediately. The instruction manual should be periodically read

to refresh one’s memory, it may prevent a serious or fatal accident.

pre-operation

CAUTION

Excessive speed of the compressor or driver can be lethal. Never

operate the compressor beyond the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Bursting of the flywheel may be the greatest threat because the normal

guard may not contain all the pieces. Crankshaft and connecting rod

breakage is a possibility and compressor efficiency, valve life and bear-

ing life will be abnormally reduced.

GUARDS

All mechanical action or motion is hazardous in varying degrees and

needs to be guarded. Guarding shall be in compliance with OSHA Safety

and Health Standards 29 CFR 1910.219 in OSHA manual 2206 and any

state or local code.

CAUTION

Guards must be fastened in place before starting the compressor and

never removed before cutting off & locking out the main power supply.
