Introduction
The Health and Safety at Work Act, 1974
In order to comply with your responsibilities under the above act, it is
essential that the compressor is transported, positioned, installed,
operated and maintained by competent persons in accordance with
the instructions in this handbook.
The compressor warranty will be invalidated ifunapproved spare parts
or lubricants are used. Using such items may cause the efficiency and
service life of the compressor to be reduced and could create a
hazardous condition over which CompAir UK Hydrovane has no
control.
Failure to maintain the compressor correctly, or modifying it without
prior approval from CompAir UK Hydrovane, may also create a
hazardous condition. This will also invalidate the warranty.
Consequential damage of any nature is not covered by the warranty.
Read and fully understand the contents contained in the user
handbook.
Ensure that the user Handbook is not permanently removed from the
compressor.
Check that there are no signs of damage and/or oil leaks from the
air-end, cooler and associated pipework.
After completing work, tools and foreign matter should be removed
from the compressor and its surrounding area.
In the unlikely event of a compressor fire, dry powder or carbon dioxide
fire extinguishers should be used. Never use water.
Before Working on Compressor
1. Potentially dangerous voltages are used to power this
machine.Do not carry out any work until the isolator is locked in
the off position. Fit a safety notice to the isolator advising that
work is being carried out and that the isolator must not be
switched on. If in doubt then a qualified electrician may remove
the fuses and keep them in a secure place until work is
complete.
2. Ensure the compressor has been safely isolated from the
main air system and cannot be re-introduced until all work has
been completed. Fit a safety notice to the isolation valve
advising that work is being carried out.
3. Do not undertake any work until the compressor and
receiver if fitted, have been relieved of all pressure.
4. Wait until the compressors vent down cycle is complete.
5. Open the test valve to release any pressure contained in
the aftercooler or associated pipework.
6. Check that the air-end pressure gauge reads zero. Do not
proceed until it does.
7. Carefully unscrew the compressor filler plug.If any air or oil
escapes before plug is fully removed stop! Do not remove the
plug until all pressure is lost.
8. Safety devices fitted to the compressor or air-line system
should be checked at regular intervals and replaced if faulty.
Theyshouldnotbetamperedwithormodified.Nonreturn valves
should not be used as isolation devices.
9. To ensure the compressor operates safely you must carry
out the specified maintenance procedures.
10. Only approved lubricants should be used for flushing
purposes.
11. Extreme caution should be taken if the compressor has
been subjected to severe operating temperaturesor fire.Certain
components may contain fluoroelastomer materials and under
these conditions can leave extremely corrosive residues.
Severe burns and permanent skin and tissue damage can be a
result of skin contact.
