BREATHING AIR PRECAUTION

Ingersoll Rand air compressors are not designed, intended or approved for breathing air. Compressed air should not be used for breathing air applications unless treated in accordance with all

applicable codes and regulations.

General Information

Ensure that the operator reads and understands the decals and consults the manuals before maintenance or operation.

Ensure that the Operation and Maintenance manual is not removed permanently from the machine.

Ensure that maintenance personnel are adequately trained, competent and have read the Maintenance Manuals.

Do not point air nozzles or sprayers toward anyone.

Compressed air and electricity can be dangerous. Before undertaking any work on the compressor, ensure that the electrical supply has been isolated and the compressor has been relieved of all pressure.

Wear eye protection when operating or servicing compressor.

All persons positioned near to operating machinery should be equipped with hearing protection and given instructions on its use in accordance with workplace safety legislation.

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.

Installation of this compressor must be in accordance with recognised electrical codes and any local Health and Safety Codes.

The use of plastic bowls on line filters can be hazardous. Their safety can be affected by either synthetic lubricants, or the additives used in mineral oils. Ingersoll –Rand recommends that only filters with metal bowls should be used on a pressurised system.

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.

WARNING

Imposing a normal or emergency stop on the compressor will only relieve presure upstream of the minimum pressure valve on top of the separator tank.

If maintenance work is required downstream of this valve, ensure that all pressure is relieved at the process vent point external to the compressor

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 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.

The discharged air contains a very small percentage of compressor lubricant 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.

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.

Avoid bodily contact with compressed air.

All safety valves located in the separator tank must be checked periodically for correct operation.

Do not over–pressurize the receiver tank or similar vessels beyond

design limits.

Do not use a receiver tank or similar vessels that fail to meet the design requirements of the compressor. Contact your distributor for

assistance.

Do not drill into, weld or otherwise alter the receiver tank or similar vessels.

Materials

The following substances are used in the manufacture of this machine and may be hazardous to health if used incorrectly:

. preservative grease

. rust preventative

. compressor coolant

AVOID INGESTION, SKIN CONTACT AND INHALATION OF FUMES

Transport

When loading or transporting machines ensure that the specified lifting and tie down points are used.

Lifting equipment must be properly rated for the weight of the compressor.

Do not work on or walk under the compressor while it is suspended.

Electrical

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.

WARNING

Any electrical connections or adjustments should only be made by a suitably qualified electrician

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.
