General Information
Never operate unit without first observing all safety warnings
and carefully reading the operation and maintenance manual
shipped from the factory with this machine.
Ensure that the operator reads and understands the decals
and consults the manuals before maintenance or operation.
Ensure that the Operation and Maintenance manual, and the
manual holder, are not removed permanently from the machine.
Ensure that maintenance personnel are adequately trained,
competent and have read the Maintenance Manuals.
Make sure that all protective covers are in place and that the
canopy/doors are closed during operation.
The specification of this machine is such that the machine is
not suitable for use in flammable gas risk areas. If such an
application is required then all local regulations, codes of
practice and site rules must be observed. To ensure that the
machine can operate in a safe and reliable manner, additional
equipment such as gas detection, exhaust spark arrestors, and
intake (shut–off) valves may be required, dependant on local
regulations or the degree of risk involved.
A weekly visual check must be made on all fasteners/fixing
screws securing mechanical parts. In particular, safety–related
parts such as coupling hitch, drawbar components,
road–wheels, and lifting bail should be checked for total
security.
All components which are loose, damaged or unserviceable,
must be rectified without delay.
Air discharged from this machine may contain carbon
monoxide or other contaminants which will cause serious injury
or death. Do not breathe this air.
This machine produces loud noise with the doors open or
service valve vented. Extended exposure to loud noise can
cause hearing loss. Always wear hearing protection when doors
are open or service valve is vented.
Never inspect or service unit without first disconnecting
battery cable(s) to prevent accidental starting.
Do not use petroleum products (solvents or fuels) under high
pressure as this can penetrate the skin and result in serious
illness. wear eye protection while cleaning unit with compressed
air to prevent debris from injuring eye(s).
Rotating fan blade can cause serious injury. Do not operate
without guard in place.
Use care to avoid contacting hot surfaces (engine exhaust
manifold and piping, air receiver and air discharge piping, etc.).
Ether is an extremely volatile, highly inflammable gas. When
it is specified as a starting aid, use sparingly. DO NOT USE
ETHER IF THE MACHINE HAS GLOW PLUGS OR INLET
HEATER STARTING AIDS OR ENGINE DAMAGE WILL
RESULT.
Never operate unit with guards, covers or screens removed.
Keep hands, hair, clothing, tools, blow gun tips, etc. well away
from moving parts.
Compressed air
Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectly handled.
Before doing any work on the unit, ensure that all pressure is
vented from the system and that the machine cannot be started
accidentally.
Ensure that the machine is operating at the rated pressure
and that the rated pressure is known to all relevant personnel.
All air pressure equipment installed in or connected to the
machine must have safe working pressure ratings of at least the
machine rated pressure.
If more than one compressor is connected to one common
downstream plant, effective check valves and isolation valves
must be fitted and controlled by work procedures, so that one
machine cannot accidently be pressurised / over pressurised by
another.
Compressed air must not be used for a direct feed to any
form of breathing apparatus or mask.
High Pressure Air can cause serious injury or death. Relieve
pressure before removing filler plugs/caps, fittings or covers.
Air pressure can remain trapped in air supply line which can
result in serious injury or death. Always carefully vent air supply
line at tool or vent valve before performing any service.
The discharged air contains a very small percentage of
compressor lubricating oil and care should be taken to ensure
that downstream equipment is compatible.
If the discharged air is to be ultimately released into a
confined space, adequate ventilation must be provided.
When using compressed air always use appropriate
personal protective equipment.
All pressure containing parts, especially flexible hoses and
their couplings, must be regularly inspected, be free from
defects and be replaced according to the Manual instructions.
Avoid bodily contact with compressed air.
The safety valve located in the separator tank must be
checked periodically for correct operation.
