Safety And Operation
Precautions
Because an air compressor is a
piece of machinery with moving and
rotating parts, the same precautions
should be observed as with any
piece of machinery of this type
where carelessness in operation or
maintenance is hazardous to
personnel. In addition to the many
obvious safety rules that should be
followed with this type of
machinery, the additional safety
precautions as listed below must be
observed:
1. Read all instructions completely
before operating air compressor
or unit.
2. For installation, follow all local
safety codes, as well as the
Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA).
3. Do not attempt to remove any
compressor parts without first
relieving the entire system of
pressure.
4. Do not attempt to service any
part while machine is in an
operational mode.
5. Do not operate the compressor
at pressures in excess of its
rating.
6. Do not operate compressor at
speeds in excess of its rating.
7. Periodically check all safety
devices for proper operation. Do
not change pressure setting or
restrict operation in anyway.

8. Be sure no tools, or rags or
loose parts are left on the
compressor or drive parts.
9. Do not use flammable solvents
for cleaning the air inlet filter or
element and other parts.
10. Exercise cleanliness during
maintenance and when making
repairs. Keep dirt away from
parts by covering parts and
exposed openings with clean
cloth or Kraft paper.
11. Do not operate the compressor
without guards, shields and
screens in place.
12. Do not install a shut-off valve in
the discharge line, unless a
pressure relief valve, of proper
design and size, is installed in
the line between the compressor
unit and shut-off valve.
13. Do not operate compressor in
areas where there is a
possibility of ingesting
flammable or toxic fumes.
14. Be careful when touching the
exterior of a recently run engine
- it may be hot enough to be
painful or cause injury.
15. Inspect unit daily to observe and
correct any unsafe operating
conditions found.
16. Do not "play around" with
compressed air or direct air
stream at body, because this
can cause injuries.

17. Compressed air from this
machine absolutely must not be
used for food processing or
breathing air without adequate
downstream filters, purifiers and
controls.
18. Always use an air pressure
regulating device at the point of
use, and do not use air pressure
greater than marked maximum
pressure of attachment.
19. Check hoses for weak or worn
condition before each use and
make certain that all
connections are secure.
20. Always wear safety glasses
when using a compressed air
blow gun.
