Unpacking

RECEIVING THE UNIT

Immediately upon receipt of the oilless compressor, inspect for any damage which may have occurred during shipment.

The compressor nameplate should be checked to verify the correct model and voltage as ordered.

		Do not operate
	! WARNING
		unit if damaged
during shipping, handling or use.
Damage may result in bursting and

General Safety Information The following safety precautions must be observed at all times:

1. Read all manuals
included with this
product carefully. Be	MANUAL
thoroughly familiar with
the controls and the
proper use of the equipment.

2.Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as in the United States, the National Electrical Codes (NEC) and Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

3.Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use the equipment.

4.Keep visitors away and NEVER allow children in the work area.

5.Wear safety glasses and use hearing protection

when operating the unit.

6.Do not stand on or use the unit as a handhold.

7.Before each use, inspect compressed air system and electrical components for signs of damage, deterioration, weakness or leakage. Repair or

replace defective items before using.

8.Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness.

!WARNING

Electrical equipment and controls can cause

electrical arcs that will ignite a flammable gas or vapor. Never operate or

repair in or near a flammable gas or vapor. Never store flammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the compressor.

An ASME code safety relief valve,

with a setting no higher than the tank maximum allowable working pressure, MUST be installed in the air lines or in the tank. The ASME safety valve must have sufficient flow and pressure ratings to protect the pressurized components from bursting. The flow rating can be found in the parts manual.

Do not operate

! CAUTION with pressure switch or pilot valves set higher than the tank maximum allowable working pressure.

9. Never attempt to adjust ASME safety valve. Keep safety valve free from paint and other accumulations.

! DANGER

Never attempt to repair or modify a tank! Welding, drilling or any other modification will weaken the tank resulting in damage from rupture or explosion. Always replace worn, cracked or damaged tanks.

	Drain liquid from
NOTICE
	tank daily.

10.Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens the tank. Make sure to drain tank regularly and inspect periodically for unsafe conditions such as rust formation and corrosion.

11.Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris which may be harmful. Release air slowly when draining moisture or depressurizing.

Installation

!WARNING

Disconnect, tag and lock out power source then release all pressure from

the system before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.

Do not lift or move

! CAUTION unit without appropriately rated equipment. Be sure the unit is securely attached to lifting device used. Do not lift unit by holding onto tubes or coolers. Do not use unit to lift other attached equipment.

Installation of inlet/outlet air

plumbing from the compressor flange and eletrical connection must be in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA99) Code Compliance for Medical Gas Breathing Air (Level 1).

INSTALLATION SITE

1.The oilless compressor must be located in a clean, well lit and well ventilated area.

2.The area should be free of excessive dust, toxic or flammable gases and moisture.

3.Never install the compressor where the surrounding temperature is higher than 105o F or where humidity is high.

4.Clearance must allow for safe, effective inspection and maintenance.

Minimum Clearances

Above24”

Other sides 36”

5.If necessary, use metal shims or leveling pads to level the compressor. Never use wood to shim the compressor.

VENTILATION

1.If the oilless compressor is located in a totally enclosed room, an exhaust fan with access to outside air must be installed.

2.Never restrict the cooling fan exhaust air. Maintain a minimum of 3 feet of clearance around entire unit.

3.Never locate the compressor where hot exhaust air from other heat generating units may be pulled into the unit.

WIRING

All electrical hook-ups must be performed by a qualified electrician. Installations must be in accordance with local and national electrical codes.

Use solderless terminals to connect the electric power source.

PIPING

Refer to the general product manual.

1.Make sure the piping is lined up without being strained or twisted when assembling the piping for the compressor.

2.Appropriate expansion loops or bends should be installed at the
