NOTE
OPERATOR IS REQUIRED TO READ
ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
1.1
GENERAL
Sullair Corporation and its subsidiaries design and
manufacture all of their products so they can be operated
safely. However, the responsibility for safe operation rests
with those who use and maintain these products. The
following safety precautions are offered as a guide which,
if conscientiously followed, will minimize the possibility of
accidents throughout the useful life of this equipment.
The compressor should be operated only by those who
have been trained and delegated to do so, and who have
read and understood this Operator's Manual. Failure to
follow the instructions, procedures and safety precautions
in this manual may result in accidents and injuries.
NEVER start the compressor unless it is safe to do so. DO
NOT attempt to operate the compressor with a known
unsafe condition. Tag the compressor and render it
inoperative by disconnecting and locking out all power at
source or otherwise disabling its prime mover so others
who may not know of the unsafe condition cannot attempt
to operate it until the condition is corrected.
Install, use and operate the compressor only in full
compliance with all pertinent OSHA regulations and/or any
applicable Federal, State, and Local codes, standards and
regulations.
DO NOT modify the compressor and/or controls in any
way except with written factory approval.
While not specifically applicable to all types of
compressors with all types of prime movers, most of the
precautionary statements contained herein are applicable
to most compressors and the concepts behind these
statements are generally applicable to all compressors.
1.2
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT
Prior to installing or operating the compressor, owners,
employers and users should become familiar with, and
comply with, all applicable OSHA regulations and/or any
applicable Federal, State and Local codes, standards, and
regulations relative to personal protective equipment,
such as eye and face protective equipment, respiratory
protective equipment, equipment intended to protect the
extremities, protective clothing, protective shields and
barriers and electrical protective equipment, as well as
noise exposure administrative and/or engineering controls
and/or personal hearing protective equipment.
1.3
PRESSURE RELEASE
A. Install an appropriate flow-limiting valve between the
service air outlet and the shut-off (throttle) valve, either
at the compressor or at any other point along the air
line, when an air hose exceeding 1/2" (13mm) inside
diameter is to be connected to the shut-off (throttle)
valve, to reduce pressure in case of hose failure, per
OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.302(b)(7) and/or any
applicable Federal, State and Local codes, standards
and regulations.
B. When the hose is to be used to supply a manifold,
install an additional appropriate flow-limiting valve
between the manifold and each air hose exceeding
1/2" (13mm) inside diameter that is to be connected
to the manifold to reduce pressure in case of hose
failure.
C. Provide an appropriate flow-limiting valve at the
beginning of each additional 75 feet (23m) of hose in
runs of air hose exceeding 1/2" (13mm) inside
diameter to reduce pressure in case of hose failure.
