GENERAL SAFETY CONT.
9. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that will get
caught in the moving parts of the unit.
Surface may be hot even if unit is stopped.
10. Keep fingers away from a running unit;
fast moving and hot parts will cause injury and/or burns.
11. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,
STOP the unit and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
12. To reduce fire hazard, keep unit exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease.
An ASME code safety relief valve with a setting no higher
than the tank maximum allowable working pressure MUST
be installed in the air lines or in the tank of any compressor.
The ASME safety valve must have sufficient flow and
pressure ratings to protect the pressurized components from
bursting.
than the tank maximum allowable working pressure.
13. Never attempt to adjust ASME safety valve on
compressed air units. Keep safety valve free from paint
and other accumulations.
Never attempt to repair or modify a tank!
Welding, drilling or any other modification
will weaken the tank resulting in damage
from rupture or explosion. Always replace worn, cracked
or damaged tanks.
14. Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens the
tank. Make sure to drain tank regularly and inspect peri-
odically for unsafe conditions such as rust formation and
corrosion.
15. Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris which may
be harmful. Release air slowly when draining moisture
or depressurizing a compressor system.
Do not operate with pressure
switch or pilot valves set higher
Drain liquid from tank daily.
STORAGE
1. When not in use, the unit should be covered to prevent
the ingress of dirt and foreign matter and stored in a
cool, dry place.
2. If a tank is incorporated with the unit, the tank should be
drained of all moisture.
3. If the unit is using external hoses, they should be
disconnected and hung open ends down to allow any
moisture to drain.
INSTALLATION
Disconnect, tag and lock out power source
then release all pressure from the system
before attempting to install, service, relocate
or perform any maintenance.
Be sure the unit is securely attached to lifting device used.
Do not lift unit by holding on to tubes or coolers. Do not
use unit to lift other attached equipment.
areas or any other source of contamination.
NOTE: If compressor system is installed in a hot, moist
environment, supply compressor pump with clean, dry
outside air. Pipe supply air in from external sources.
Failure to properly install a tank can lead to
cracks at the welded joints and possible
bursting or leakage.
UNPACKING
After unpacking the unit, inspect carefully for any damage
that may have occurred during transit. Make sure to tighten
fittings, bolts, etc., before putting unit into service.
use. Damage may result in bursting and cause injury or
property damage.
The compressor nameplate should be checked to see if the
unit is the correct model and voltage as ordered.
Do not lift or move unit without
appropriately rated equipment.
Never use the wood shipping
skids for mounting the unit.
Do not locate the air inlet near
steam, paint spray, sandblast
Do not operate unit if damaged
during shipping, handling or
