8 Subject to EAR, ECCN EAR99 and related export control restrictions.
accordance with their manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
E. DO NOT use air tools that are rated below the maxi-
mum rating of the compressor. Select air tools, air
hoses, pipes, valves, filters and other fittings accord-
ingly. DO NOT exceed manufacturer’s rated safe
operating pressures for these items.
F. Secure all hose connections by wire, chain or other
suitable retaining device to prevent tools or hose
ends from being accidentally disconnected and
expelled.
G. Open fluid filler cap only when compressor is not run-
ning and is not pressurized. Shut down the compres-
sor and bleed the receiver tank to zero internal
pressure before removing the cap.
H. Vent all internal pressure prior to opening any line, fit-
ting, hose, valve, drain plug, connection or other
component, such as filters and line oilers, and before
attempting to refill optional air line anti-icer systems
with antifreeze compound.
I. Keep personnel out of line with and away from the
discharge opening of hoses or tools or other points of
compressed air discharge.
J. DO NOT use air at pressures higher than 2.1 bar for
cleaning purposes, and then only with effective chip
guarding and personal protective equipment per
OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.242(b) and/or any
applicable Federal, State, and Local codes, stan-
dards and regulations.
K. DO NOT engage in horseplay with air hoses as
death or serious injury may result.
1.4 Fire and explosion
A. Clean up spills of lubricant or other combustible sub-
stances immediately, if such spills occur.
B. Shut off the compressor and allow it to cool. Then
keep sparks, flames and other sources of ignition
away and DO NOT permit smoking in the vicinity
when checking or adding lubricant or when refilling
air line anti-icer systems with antifreeze compound.
C. DO NOT permit fluids, including air line anti-icer sys-
tem antifreeze compound or fluid film, to accumulate
on, under or around acoustical material, or on any
external surfaces of the air compressor. Wipe down
using an aqueous industrial cleaner or steam clean
as required. If necessary, remove acoustical mate-
rial, clean all surfaces and then replace acoustical
material. Any acoustical material with a protective
covering that has been torn or punctured should be
replaced immediately to prevent accumulation of liq-
uids or fluid film within the material. DO NOT use
flammable solvents for cleaning purposes.
D. Disconnect and lock out all power at source prior to
attempting any repairs or cleaning of the compressor
or of the inside of the enclosure, if any.
E. Keep electrical wiring, including all terminals and
pressure connectors in good condition. Replace any
wiring that has cracked, cut, abraded or otherwise
degraded insulation, or terminals that are worn, dis-
colored or corroded. Keep all terminals and pressure
connectors clean and tight.
F. Keep grounded and/or conductive objects such as
tools away from exposed live electrical parts such as
terminals to avoid arcing which might serve as a
source of ignition.
G. Remove any acoustical material or other material
that may be damaged by heat or that may support
combustion and is in close proximity, prior to attempt-
ing weld repairs.
H. Keep suitable fully charged Class BC or ABC fire
extinguisher or extinguishers nearby when servicing
and operating the compressor.
I. Keep oily rags, trash, leaves, litter or other combusti-
bles out of and away from the compressor.
J. DO NOT operate the compressor without proper flow
of cooling air or water or with inadequate flow of lubri-
cant or with degraded lubricant.
K. DO NOT attempt to operate the compressor in any
classification of hazardous environment unless the
compressor has been specially designed and manu-
factured for that duty.
1.5 Moving parts
A. Keep hands, arms and other parts of the body and
clothing away from couplings, belts, pulleys, fans and
other moving parts.
B. DO NOT attempt to operate the compressor with the
fan, coupling or other guards removed.
C. Wear snug-fitting clothing and confine long hair when
working around this compressor, especially when
exposed to hot or moving parts.
D. Keep access doors, if any, closed except when mak-
ing repairs or adjustments.
