Do not bypass or disable any of the unit’s safety features, especially its pressure-relief valve.
Do not modify the compressor without written permission from the manufacturer.
Do not operate the compressor with any of its maintenance access panels open or removed. The
unit may start automatically without warning.
Do not direct a compressed air discharge stream onto a person’s body.
Monitor the compressor and downstream compressed air system for any excessive noise,
vibration, leaks or other abnormalities and repair any faults immediately.
Before performing any maintenance work on the compressor, switch off the unit, isolate and
tag-out the power supply, carefully release any residual air pressure from the internal air-oil
receiver and any connected downstream piping in the user’s network, and close the air outlet
valve. And if possible, allow the unit to cool down if it’s been running.
During maintenance work, take care to prevent any body parts, clothing or tools from touching
any hot or moving components inside the compressor cabinet.
The maintenance access panels should be handled as a two-person lift and stored laid flat in a
horizontal position when removed.
Carry out preventative maintenance on the compressor in accordance with the recommended
schedule using only genuine spare parts.
Clean up any oil leak discharge or oil spill immediately.
Drain condensate from the air-oil receiver only when it is depressurised. Monitor the drained
condensate to check whether it poses a slip hazard, e.g. excessive condensate discharged onto
a smooth, non-porous floor.
Clothing sleeves should be tight fitting, long hair should be tied back, jewellery and other loose
articles should be removed, and loose gloves should not be worn when operating or maintaining
the compressor.
Wear body protection such as tight-fitting gloves, long sleeves, safety boots and eye protection
such as glasses when performing any maintenance work on the compressor.
Wear eye protection such as glasses if working close to pressurised compressed air plant.
Wear protection such as a filter respirator and goggles when blowing down with compressed
air. Minimise the generation of dust by compressed air blowing. Never use compressed air to
blow down silica dust.
Wear appropriate eye, respiratory and body protection when spraying paint or other chemicals
with compressed air. Refer to the chemical’s MSDS for specific personal protective equipment
(PPE) recommendations.
