Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during operation and Safety
precautions during maintenance.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the application
which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your machine.
1.4 Safety precautions during operation
All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or
non-observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.
1. Never touch any piping or components of the pump during operation.
2. Use only the correct type and size of hose end fittings and connections. Make sure that a hose is fully
depressurized before disconnecting it.
3. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there is no
one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the remote start
equipment.
4. Never operate the machine when there is a possibility of taking inflammable or toxic fumes, vapors or particles.
5. Never operate the machine below or in excess of its limit ratings.
6. Keep all bodywork panels shut during operation. The panels may be opened for short periods only, for example,
to carry out routine checks. Wear ear protectors when opening a panel. On vacuum/over-pressure pumps without
bodywork, wear ear protection in the vicinity of the machine.
7. People staying in environments or rooms where the sound pressure level reaches or exceeds 80 dB(A) shall
wear ear protectors.
8. Periodically check that:
All guards are in place and securely fastened
All hoses and/or pipes inside the machine are in good condition, secure and not rubbing
There are no leaks
All fasteners are tight
All electrical leads are secure and in good order
Air inlet valve and air net, that is pipes, couplings, manifolds, valves, hoses, and so on are in good repair,
free of wear or abuse
9. If warm cooling air from vacuum pumps is used in air heating systems, e.g. to warm up a workroom, take
precautions against air pollution and possible contamination of the breathing air.
10. Do not remove any of, or tamper with, the sound-damping material.
11. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulation fitted on the machine.
12. Do not change the purpose of the pump. If the pump is configured to be used as a vacuum pump, do not use the
pump as an over-pressure pump. If the pump has been configured to be used as an over-pressure pump, do not
use the pump as a vacuum pump.
13. Never run the over-pressure pump without the air intake filter mounted. For the vacuum pump, Atlas Copco
recommends to install an air intake filter to safeguard the pump. Consult Atlas Copco to check whether the
application for the vacuum pump requires and air intake filter.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and Safety
precautions during maintenance.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the application
which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your machine.
