K. When moving the compressor by forklift truck,
utilize fork pockets if provided. Otherwise, utilize
pallet if provided. If neither fork pockets or pallet
are provided, then make sure compressor is
secure and well balanced on forks before
attempting to raise or transport it any significant
distance.
L. Make sure forklift truck forks are fully engaged
and tipped back prior to lifting or transporting the
compressor.
M. Forklift no higher than necessary to clear
obstacles at floor level and transport and corner at
minimum practical speeds.
N. Make sure pallet-mounted compressors are firmly
bolted or otherwise secured to the pallet prior to
attempting to forklift or transport them. NEVER
attempt to forklift a compressor that is not secured
to its pallet, as uneven floors or sudden stops may
cause the compressor to tumble off, possibly
causing serious injury or property damage in the
process.
1.10 ENTRAPMENT
A. If the compressor enclosure, if any, is large
enough to hold a man and if it is necessary to
enter it to perform service adjustments, inform
other personnel before doing so, or else secure
and tag the access door in the open position to
avoid the possibility of others closing and possibly
latching the door with personnel inside.
B. Make sure all personnel are out of compressor
before closing and latching enclosure doors.
