SAFETY
GENERAL1.1
Sullair Corporation designs and manufactures all of its
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.
Read the CIMA Safety Manual prior to compressor
operation and towing, if applicable in your area.
The air 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 can result in accidents and injuries.
NEVER start the air compressor unless it is safe to do so.
DO NOT attempt to operate the air compressor with a
known unsafe condition. Tag the air compressor and
render it inoperative by turning the battery disconnect
switch to the off position so others who may not know of
the unsafe condition will not attempt to operate it until the
condition is corrected.
Use and operate the air compressor only in full compliance
with all pertinent OSHA requirements and/or all pertinent
Federal, State and Local codes or requirements.
DO NOT modify the compressor except with written
factory approval.
Each day, walk around the air compressor and inspect for
leaks, loose or missing parts, damaged parts or parts out
of adjustment. Perform all recommended daily
maintenance.
Inspect for torn, frayed, blistered or otherwise deteriorated
and degraded hoses. Replace as required.
TOWING 1.2
(I)
Preparing To Tow
NOTE
OPERATOR IS REQUIRED TO READ
ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
CAUTION
Estimated hose life based on a 5-day
8-hour work week is 3 years. These
conditions exist on an 8-hour shift
only. Any other operation of the
equipment other than 8-hour shifts
would shorten the hose life based on
hours of operation.
WARNING
DO NOT tow the compressor should
its weight exceed the rated limit of the
tow vehicle, as the vehicle may not
brake safely with excess weight. See
rated limit in tow vehicle Operator’s
Manual, and review its instructions
and other requirements for safe
towing.
(I) While not towed in the usual sense of the word, many of these instructions are directly applicable to skid-mounted portable air
compressors as well.
