SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

LISTED BELOW IS EVERY "WARNING" CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL,

ALL PERSONNEL IN-

VOLVED IN THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THIS EQUIPMENT MUST

FULLY UNDERSTAND THE 'WARNING" AND THE PROCEDURE BY WHICH

THE HAZARD IS TO BE REDUCED OR ELIMINATED. PERSONNEL SHALL

BECOME THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITHALL ASPECTS OF SAFETY OF PER-

SONNEL AND EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

OF THE EQUIPMENT.

1. Operate the compressor package assembly only in well-ventilated areas or with the engine exhaust gases vented

outdoors. Engine exhaust gas contains lethal carbon monoxide which is colorless and odorless. When inhaled,

carbon monoxide will cause serious, and sometimes fatal, illness. If the exhaust gases enter the compressor

intake, the air storage bottles being charged will be contaminated and the air unfit for breathing.

2. High-pressure air can cause serious injury to operating personnel. Always make certain the connecting tube

assemblies, hoses and other component parts of the compressor package assembly are in good condition. In

particular, never use an air hose assembly or filler attachments that are damaged or appear in questionable

condition.

3. Never charge an air storage bottle or other pneumatic equipment with compressed air if the proof pressure or

rating of the equipment is unknown. Never charge equipment to a pressure in excess of its known rating.

4. Severe explosion will result if a container partially filled with oxygen is charged with air. If any doubt exists as to

the contents of a container, thoroughly vent the container and flush with water or air at zero pressure before

charging.

5. The pressure relief valve assemblies are preadjusted to open and relieve system air pressure when the pressure

exceeds a safe value. Operating personnel should never attempt to change the setting of the pressure relief

valve assemblies.

6. When compressing breathing quality air, use only special medicinal grade, mineral base lubricating oil for

compressor lubrication.

7. Always stop the gasoline engine before attempting to fill the fuel tank, and exercise extreme care to avoid spilling

gasoline on a hot engine.

8. When operating the compressor package assembly at ambient temperatures below 40° Fahrenheit, connect a

source of 27-volt direct current to the electrical connector on the instrument panel.

9. The oil-water -air emulsion which blows down when the push valve is pressed can cause painful injuries. Be

extremely careful to stay clear of the blow down tube directly beneath the filter and separator assembly.

10. Be sure receiver shutoff valve is closed and system drain valve open before attempting to remove the line filter

element.
