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.
Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectlyhandled.
Before doing any work on the unit, ensure that all
pressure is vented from the system and that the machine
cannot be started accidentally.
Avoid bodily contact with compressed air.
The safety valve located in the separator tank must be
checked periodically for correct operation.
Whenever pressure is released through the pressure relief
valve, it is due to excessive pressure in the system. The
cause for the excessive pressure should be investigated
immediately.

Electrical
The compressor has high and dangerous voltage in the
motor starter and control box. All installations must be
in accordance with recognized electrical codes. Before
working on the electrical system, be sure to remove
voltage from the system by using a manual disconnect
switch. A circuit breaker or fuse safety switch must be
provided in the electrical supply line leading to the
compressor.
Those responsible for installation of this equipment
must provide suitable grounds, maintenance clearance
and lightning arrestors for all electrical components in
accordance with National and Local code requirements.
Keep all parts of the body and any hand−held tools or
other conductive objects, away from exposed live parts
of the compressor electrical system. Maintain dry footing,
stand on insulating surfaces and do not contact any other
portion of the compressor when making adjustments or
repairs to exposed live parts of the compressor electrical
system.
Close and lock all access doors when the compressor is
left unattended.
Do not use extinguishers intended for Class A or Class B
fires on electrical fires. Use only extinguishers suitable for
class BC or class ABC fires.
Attempt repairs only in clean, dry, well lighted and
ventilated areas.
Connect the compressor only to electrical systems that
are compatible with its electrical characteristics and that
are within it’s rated capacity.
