D. Flow-limiting valves are listed by pipe size and flow-
rated. Select appropriate valves accordingly, in 
accordance with their manufacturer's 
recommendations.
E. DO NOT use air tools that are rated below the 
maximum rating of the compressor. Select air tools, 
air hoses, pipes, valves, filters and other fittings 
accordingly. DO NOT exceed manufacturer's rated 
safe operating pressures for these items. 
F. Secure all hose connections by wire, chain or other 
suitable retaining device to prevent tools or hose ends 
from being accidentally disconnected and expelled.
G. Open fluid filler cap only when compressor is not 
running and is not pressurized. Shut down the 
compressor and bleed the receiver tank to zero 
internal pressure before removing the cap.
H. Vent all internal pressure prior to opening any line, 
fitting, hose, valve, drain plug, connection or other 
component, such as filters and line oilers, and before 
attempting to refill optional air line anti-icer systems 
with antifreeze compound.
I. Keep personnel out of line with and away from the 
discharge opening of hoses or tools or other points of 
compressed air discharge.
J. DO NOT use air at pressures higher than 2.1 bar for 
cleaning purposes, and then only with effective chip 
guarding and personal protective equipment per 
OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.242 (b) and/or any 
applicable Federal, State, and Local codes, standards 
and regulations.
K. DO NOT engage in horseplay with air hoses as death 
or serious injury may result.
1.4
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
A. Clean up spills of lubricant or other combustible 
substances immediately, if such spills occur.
B. Shut off the compressor and allow it to cool. Then keep 
sparks, flames and other sources of ignition away and 
DO NOT permit smoking in the vicinity when checking 
or adding lubricant or when refilling air line anti-icer 
systems with antifreeze compound. 
C. DO NOT permit fluids, including air line anti-icer 
system antifreeze compound or fluid film, to 
accumulate on, under or around acoustical material, 
or on any external surfaces of the air compressor. 
Wipe down using an aqueous industrial cleaner or 
steam clean as required. If necessary, remove 
acoustical material, clean all surfaces and then 
replace acoustical material. Any acoustical material 
with a protective covering that has been torn or 
punctured should be replaced immediately to prevent 
accumulation of liquids or fluid film within the material. 
DO NOT use flammable solvents for cleaning 
purposes.
D. 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. 
E. 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, 
discolored or corroded. Keep all terminals and 
pressure connectors clean and tight.
F. 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.
G. 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 
attempting weld repairs.
H. Keep suitable fully charged Class BC or ABC fire 
extinguisher or extinguishers nearby when servicing 
and operating the compressor. 
I. Keep oily rags, trash, leaves, litter or other 
combustibles out of and away from the compressor. 
J. DO NOT operate the compressor without proper flow 
of cooling air or water or with inadequate flow of 
lubricant or with degraded lubricant.
K. DO NOT attempt to operate the compressor in any 
classification of hazardous environment unless the 
compressor has been specially designed and 
manufactured for that duty.
1.5
MOVING PARTS
A. Keep hands, arms and other parts of the body and also 
clothing away from couplings, fans and other moving 
parts.
B. DO NOT attempt to operate the compressor with the 
fan, coupling or other guards removed.
C. Wear snug-fitting clothing and confine long hair when 
working around this compressor, especially when 
exposed to hot or moving parts.
D. Keep access doors, if any, closed except when 
making repairs or adjustments.
E. Make sure all personnel are out of and/or clear of the 
compressor prior to attempting to start or operate it.
F. Disconnect and lock out all power at source and verify 
at the compressor that all circuits are de-energized to 
minimize the possibility of accidental start-up, or 
operation, prior to attempting repairs or adjustments. 
This is especially important when compressors are 
remotely controlled.
G. Keep hands, feet, floors, controls and walking 
surfaces clean and free of fluid, water or other liquids 
to minimize the possibility of slips and falls.
