Section V - Preparing for Maintenance or Service

The following procedure should be used for maximum safety when preparing for maintenance or service:

1)Disconnect and lockout the main power switch and hang a sign at the switch of the unit being serviced.

2)Close the manual shut-off valve (block valve) between the receiver and plant air system to prevent any back-up of air flow into the area to be serviced. Never depend upon a check valve to isolate the system.

3)Open the manual vent valve and wait for the pressure in the system to be completely relieved before starting service. DO NOT close the manual vent valve at any time while servicing.

4)Shut off water and depressurize system if water- cooled.

!WARNING

Never assume the compressor is ready for maintenance or service because it is stopped. The automatic dual control may start the compressor at any time. Death or serious injury could result.
