All pressure tanks located outside the unit
with an approved operating pressure higher
than atmospheric pressure and fitted with
two or more pressure feed lines must be
equipped with an additional safety device
to automatically prevent the approved
operating pressure from being exceeded by
more than 10%.
Pipes and other parts with a surface
temperature of more than 80 °C must be
suitably secured against contact and
suitably marked.
Electrical connections must comply with
local regulations.
With compressors fitted with generators,
use equipotential bonding systems for the
protection of persons.
Install the machine so that it is as
horizontal as possible; a slight inclination is
permissible (see information in Chapter
"Installation").
Set up the machine in such a way that no
inlets, outlets or gates are blocked, even
when the doors are open.
Before disconnecting the machine from
the towing vehicle, apply the handbrake.
Disconnect the rapid-emergency brake
cable and lighting cable, disconnect the
lines of the air brakes, use chocks to
ensure that the machine does not roll away.
If a machine with a combustion engine
has to work in a fire-risk environment, the
unit must be fitted with a spark catcher.
In dusty environments, set up the
machine in such a way that the wind does
not blow dust in its direction. During
operation in clean environments, the
intervals for cleaning the air intake filter
and the cooler elements are much longer.
Do not install the machine directly in
front of walls. Make sure that the warm air
coming from the engine and cooling
systems is not drawn into the air intake
under any circumstances. Drawing this
warm air in through the engine or cooler
fan could lead to overheating; if it is
drawn into the combustion chamber, this
will result in a loss of power.
Never relocate the machine if external
lines or hoses are connected to the
discharge valves, in order to avoid damage
to the valves and/or collecting pipe and
hoses.
No force may be exerted on the
discharge valves, for example by pulling
the hoses or fitting additional equipment
(e.g. a water separator, compressed air
oiler, etc.) directly to the discharge valve.
Make sure that:
* All bolted connections have been
tightened
* All electrical wiring has been connected
correctly and is in good condition
* The engine exhaust system is
operationally safe and that no
inflammable material is in the vicinity
* The wheel nuts are properly tightened;
never exceed the specified torque.
Cold-starting diesel engines with ether
fuel systems
The fuel used in these systems is highly
inflammable, toxic and poisonous. Avoid
contact with eyes and skin, and never
inhale vapors. Should you accidentally
swallow fuel, do not induce vomiting, but
seek medical attention.
Before using the ether cold-starting
system, please read the instructions
carefully.
Never use the ether cold-starting system
while the engine is running, as this can
lead to serious damage.
Wear suitable eye protection when
inspecting the system. Make sure that the
openings of containers, valves, or pipes are
never directed at yourself or at any other
person during inspection.
Never store ether containers at
temperatures above 70 °C.
Normal operation
Before starting work, make yourself
familiar with the working environment at the
installation site. The working environment
includes, for example, obstacles in the
working and transport areas, the carrying
capacity of the ground, and any necessary
cordoning off of the building site from public
traffic areas.
Take the necessary precautions to make
sure that the machine / installation is only
operated in a safe, functional condition.
Only operate the machine when all
protective devices, shutdown devices,
sound-insulating equipment and extraction
equipment is in place and working.
Be careful: loose articles of clothing, hair
or limbs can still be drawn in by revolving
parts.
Verify regularly that:
* All protective equipment is properly
positioned and fixed in place
* All hoses and/or pipes within the system
are in good condition, are properly fixed
in place and do not chafe
* There are no leaks (fuel, oil or coolant
leaks)
* All bolted connections have been
tightened
* All electrical wiring is properly connected
and is in perfect condition
* Safety valves and other pressure-relief
devices are in perfect condition and are
not blocked, for example by dirt or paint
* The safety devices all work properly
All connected components must be of
the correct size and be suitable for the
specified operating pressure and
temperature.
Only use the correct type and size of
hose coupling and connection.
Before blowing through a hose or air line,
it is essential to hold the open end firmly.
If the open end is not held firmly, it can
whiplash and cause damage or injury.
Avoid any working methods that could be
considered risky!
Never play about with compressed air.
Never direct compressed air onto the skin
or towards another person.
Never use compressed air for cleaning
clothing. When using compressed air to
clean equipment, work with extreme
caution and always wear suitable eye
protection.
The compressed air produced by these
compressors must not be used as breath-
able air, unless it has been processed
specially for such an application in
accordance with the “Safety requirements
for breathable air.”
When breathing apparatus with cartridges
is used, make sure that the correct
cartridge has been inserted and that its
service life has not expired.
Never use the machine in environments
where the possibility cannot be ruled out
that inflammable or toxic vapors may be
taken in.
Never operate the system at temperatures
and/or pressures below or above the values
indicated in the technical data sheet.
Persons working in environments or
rooms in which the acoustic pressure is
85 dB(A) or higher must wear ear muffs.
Caution: this may impair communication
between persons. Warnings may not be
heard. Inform supervisor.
Shieldings and doors must be closed
during operation so that the flow of cool air
within the housing is not deflected and the
efficiency of the sound-insulating is not
reduced. Doors and hoods may only be
opened briefly.
