Touching the fan wheel, the coupling, or the drive while the machine is switched on can result in
serious injury.
➤
Do not open the service doors or panels while the machine is running.
➤ Prior to opening the service doors or the canopy, switch off the engine, disconnect from power
source and secure against unintended reactivation.
➤ Wear close-fitting clothes and a hair net if necessary.
➤ Ensure that all covers and safety guards are in place and secured before restarting.
Temperature
The operation of the combustion engine and the compression generate high temperatures. Touch‐
ing hot components may cause injuries.
➤ Avoid contact with hot components.
These include, for example, engine, compressor airend, oil and compressed air lines, coolers
and oil separator tank. Any objects in or near the flow of exhaust gas or discharged cooling air
will become very hot.

➤ Allow the machine to cool down before commencing any maintenance work.
➤ If welding is carried out on or near the machine, take adequate measures to prevent sparks or
heat from igniting oil vapors or parts of the machine.
Noise
The enclosure absorbs the machine noise to a tolerable level. This function will be effective only if
the body is closed.
➤ Operate the machine only with closed body and intact sound insulation.
➤ Wear hearing protection if necessary.
The blowing-off of the safety relief valve can be particularly loud.
➤ Never generate compressed air without consumers being connected.
Operating fluids/materials
The used operating fluids and materials can cause adverse health effects. Suitable safety meas‐
ures must be taken in order to prevent injuries.
➤ Strictly forbid fire, open flame and smoking.
➤ Follow safety regulations when dealing with fuel, lubricants, antifreeze and chemical substan‐
ces.
➤ Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
➤ Do not inhale fumes or aerosols from fuel or oil.
➤ Do not eat or drink while handling fuel, cooling and lubricating fluids or antifreeze.
➤ Keep suitable fire extinguishing agents ready for use.
➤ Use only KAESER approved operating materials.
