9. If warm cooling air from compressors is used in air heating systems, e.g. to warm up a
working area, take precautions against air pollution and possible contamination of the
breathing air.
10. Do not remove any of, or tamper with, the sound dampening material.
11. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulation fitted to the machine.
Every pressure vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above
atmospheric pressure shall be protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as
required.
12. Be aware of possible blow off of safety valves during operation. For the location of the safety
valves, consult the description in this instruction book.
13. Yearly inspect the air receiver. Minimum wall thickness as specified in the instruction book

1.5 Safety precautions during maintenance or repair
All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or
non observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the
application which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your machine.
Precautions during maintenance or repair
1.
Always use the correct safety equipment such as safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, etc.
2. Use only the correct tools for maintenance and repair work.
3. Use only genuine spare parts.
4. All maintenance work shall only be undertaken when the machine has cooled down.
5. A warning sign bearing a legend such as "Work in progress; do not start" shall be attached
to the starting equipment.
6. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to
ensure that there is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable
notice shall be affixed to the remote start equipment.
7. Close the compressor air outlet valve before connecting or disconnecting a pipe.
8. Before removing any pressurized component, effectively isolate the machine from all
sources of pressure and relieve the entire system of pressure.
9. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety
precautions against toxic vapours of cleaning liquids.
