Operating & Maintenance Manual General Arrangement
40
Ensure that all transport and packing materials are discarded.
Ensure that the correct fork lift truck slots or marked lifting/tie down points are used whenever
the machine is lifted or transported.
When selecting the working position of the machine, ensure that there is sufficient clearance
for ventilation and exhaust requirements, observing any specified minimum dimensions (to
walls, floors etc.).
Adequate clearance needs to be allowed around and above the machine to permit safe access
for specified maintenance tasks.
Ensure that the machine is positioned securely and on a stable foundation. Any risk of
movement should be removed by suitable means, especially to avoid strain on any rigid
discharge piping.
Attach the battery cables to the battery(s) ensuring that they are tightened securely. Attach the
negative cable before attaching the positive cable.
All air pressure equipment installed in or connected to the machine must
have safe working pressure ratings of at least the machine rated
pressure, and materials compatible with the compressor lubricant (refer
to the GENERAL INFORMATION section).
If more than one compressor is connected to one common downstream
plant, effective check valves and isolation valves must be fitted and
controlled by work procedures, so that one machine cannot accidently be
pressurized/over pressurized by another.
If flexible discharge hoses are to carry more than 7 bar (100psi) pressure,
then it is recommended that safety retaining wires are used on the hoses.
