Subject to EAR, ECCN EAR99 and related export control restrictions. 5
replaced immediately to prevent accumulation of liq-
uids or fluid film within the material. DO NOT use
flammable solvents for cleaning purposes.
E. Disconnect and lock out all power at source prior to
attempting any repairs or cleaning of the compressor
or of the inside of the enclosure, if any.
F. Keep electrical wiring, including all terminals and
pressure connectors in good condition. Replace any
wiring that has cracked, cut, abraded or otherwise
degraded insulation, or terminals that are worn, dis-
colored or corroded. Keep all terminals and pressure
connectors clean and tight.
G. Turn off battery charger before making or breaking
connections to the battery.
H. Keep grounded and/or conductive objects such as
tools away from exposed live electrical parts such as
terminals to avoid arcing which might serve as a
source of ignition.
I. Replace damaged fuel tanks or lines immediately
rather than attempt to weld or otherwise repair them.
DO NOT store or attempt to operate the compressor
with any known leaks in the fuel system. Tag the
compressor and render it inoperative until repair can
be made.
J. Remove any acoustical material or other material
that may be damaged by heat or that may support
combustion and is in close proximity, prior to attempt-
ing weld repairs.
K. Keep suitable fully charged Class BC or ABC fire
extinguisher or extinguishers nearby when servicing
and operating the compressor.
L. Keep oily rags, trash, leaves, litter or other combusti-
bles out of and away from the compressor.
M. Open all access doors and allow the enclosure to
ventilate thoroughly prior to attempting to start the
engine.
N. DO NOT operate compressor under low overhanging
leaves or permit such leaves to contact hot exhaust
system surfaces when operating the compressor in
forested areas.
O. Ethyl ether used in diesel engine ether starting aid
systems is extremely flammable. Change cylinders,
or maintain or troubleshoot these systems only in
well-ventilated areas away from heat, open flame or
sparks. DO NOT install, store or otherwise expose
ether cylinders to temperatures above 160°F (71°C).
Remove ether cylinder from the compressor when
operating in ambient temperatures above 60°F
(16°C).
P. DO NOT attempt to use ether as a starting aid in gas-
oline engines or diesel engines with glow plugs as
ser
ious pe
rsonnel injury or property damage may
result.
Q. DO NOT spray ether into compressor air filter or into
an air filter that serves both the engine and the com-
pressor as serious damage to the compressor or per-
sonal injury may result.
R. Antifreeze compound used in air line anti-icer sys-
tems contains methanol which is flammable. Use
systems and refill with compound only in well-venti-
lated areas away from heat, open flames or sparks.
DO NOT expose any part of these systems or the
antifreeze compound to temperatures above 150°F
(66°C). Vapors from the antifreeze compound are
heavier than air. DO NOT store compound or dis-
charge treated air in confined or unventilated areas.
DO NOT store containers of antifreeze compound in
direct sunlight.
S. Store flammable fluids and materials away from your
work area. Know where fire extinguishers are and
how to use them, and for what type of fire they are
intended. Check readiness of fire suppression sys-
tems and detectors if so equipped.
T. DO NOT operate the compressor without proper flow
of cooling air or water or with inadequate flow of lubri-
cant or with degraded lubricant.
U. DO NOT attempt to operate the compressor in any
classification of hazardous environment unless the
compressor has been specially designed and manu-
factured for that duty.
2.5 Moving parts
WARNING
Disconnect and lock out all power at source and
verify at the compressor that all circuits are de-
energized to minimize the possibility of acciden-
tal start-up, or operation, prior to attempting
re
pairs
or adjustments. This is especially import-
ant when compressors are remotely controlled.
A. Keep hands, arms and other parts of th
e body and
also clothing away from couplings, fans and other
moving parts.
