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

electrical and safety codes, as

well as the National Electrical

Code (NEC) and the

Occupational Safety and

Health Act (OSHA).

Electric motors must be

securely and adequately

grounded. This can be

accomplished by wiring with

a grounded, metal-clad

raceway system to the starter;

by using a separate wire

connected to the bare metal

of the motor frame; or other

suitable means.

4. Protect the power cable from

coming in contact with sharp

objects. Do not kink power

cable and never allow the

cable to come in contact with

oil, grease, hot surfaces, or

chemicals.

5. Make certain that the power

source conforms to the

requirements of your

equipment.

6. Pull main electrical disconnect

switch and disconnect any

separate control lines, if used,

before attempting to work or

perform maintenance on

the air compressor unit.

For Service and Warranty, Call: 1-888-303-1344

"Tag Out" or "Lock Out" all

power sources.

7. Do not attempt to remove

any compressor parts without

first relieving the entire

system of pressure.

8. Do not attempt to service any

part while machine is in an

operational mode.

9. Do not operate the

compressor at pressures in

excess of its rating.

Do not operate compressor at

speeds in excess of its rating.

10. Periodically check all safety

devices for proper operation.

Do not change pressure

setting or restrict operation

in any way.

12. Be sure no tools rags or

loose parts are left on the

compressor or drive parts.

13. Do not use flammable

solvents for cleaning the air

inlet filter or element and

other parts.

14. 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.

15. Do not operate the

compressor without guards,

shields and screens in place.

This unit can start

automatically without

warning.

16. 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.

17. Do not operate compressor in

areas where there is a

possibility of ingesting

flammable or toxic fumes.

18. Be careful when touching the

exterior of a recently run

motor - it may be hot enough

to be painful or cause injury.

With modern motors this

condition is normal if

operated at rated load

modern motors are built to

operate at higher

temperatures.

19. Inspect unit daily to observe

and correct any unsafe

operating conditions found.

20. Do not "play around" with

compressed air, nor direct air

stream at body, because this

can cause injuries.

21. Compressed air from this

machine absolutely must not

be used for food processing

or breathing air without

adequate downstream filters,

purifiers and controls.

22. Always use an air pressure

regulating device at the point

of use, and do not use air

pressure greater than marked

maximum pressure of

attachments.

23. Check hoses for weak or

worn condition before each

use and make certain that all

connections are secure.

24. Always wear safety glasses

when using compressed air

gun.

The user of any air compressor

package manufactured by

Speedaire is hereby warned that

failure to follow the preceding
