SAFETY
DO NOTB. use air line anti-icer systems in air lines
supplying respirators or other breathing air utilization
equipment and DO NOT discharge air from these
systems into unventilated or other conned areas.
Operate the compressor only in open or well- C.
ventilated areas.
If the compressor is operated indoors, discharge D.
engine exhaust fumes outdoors.
Locate the compressor so that exhaust fumes are not E.
apt to be carried towards personnel, air intakes
servicing personnel areas or towards the air intake of
any portable or stationary compressor.
Fuels, uids, coolants, lubricants and battery F.
electrolyte used in the compressor are typical of the
industry. Care should be taken to avoid accidental
ingestions and/or skin contact. In the event of
ingestion, seek medical treatment promptly. DO NOT
induce vomiting if fuel is ingested. Wash with soap
and water in the event of skin contact.
Wear an acid-resistant apron and a face shield or G.
goggles when servicing the battery. If electrolyte is
spilled on skin or clothing, immediately ush with
large quantities of water.
Ethyl ether used in diesel engine ether starting aid H.
systems is toxic, harmful or fatal if swallowed. Avoid
contact with the skin or eyes and avoid breathing the
fumes. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting, but
call a physician immediately.
Wear goggles or a full face shield when testing ether I.
starting aid systems or when adding antifreeze
compound to air line anti-icer systems. Keep
openings of valve or atomizer tube of ether starting
aid system pointed away from yourself and other
personnel.
If ethyl ether or air line anti-icer system antifreeze J.
compound enters the eyes or if fumes irritate the
eyes, they should be washed with large quantities of
clean water for 15 minutes. A physician, preferably
any eye specialist, should be contacted immediately.
DO NOTK. store ether cylinders or air line anti-icer
system antifreeze compound in operator’s cabs or in
other similar conned areas.
The antifreeze compound used in air line anti-icer L.
systems contains methanol and is toxic, harmful or
fatal if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin or eyes
and avoid breathing the fumes. If swallowed, induce
vomiting by administering a tablespoon of salt in each
glass of clean warm water until vomit is clear, then
administer two tablespoons of baking soda in a glass
of clean water. Have patient lay down and cover eyes
to exclude light. Call a physician immediately.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK1.8
Keep the towing vehicle or equipment carrier, A.
compressor hoses, tools and all personnel at least 10
feet (3 m) from power lines and buried cables.
Keep all parts of the body and any hand-held tools or B.
other conductive objects away from exposed live
parts of electrical system. Maintain dry footing, stand
on insulating surfaces and DO NOT contact any other
portion of the compressor when making adjustments
or repairs to exposed live parts of the electrical
system.
Attempt repairs only in clean, dry and well-lighted and C.
ventilated areas.
Stay clear of the compressor during electrical storms! D.
It can attract lightning.
LIFTING1.9
If the compressor is provided with a lifting bail, then A.
lift by the bail provided. If no bail is provided, then lift
by sling. Compressors to be air lifted by helicopter
must not be supported by the lifting bail, but by slings
instead. In any event, lift only in full compliance with
OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1910 subpart N or any
other Local, State, Military and Federal regulations
that may apply.
Inspect lifting bail and points of attachment for B.
cracked welds and for cracked, bent, corroded or
otherwise degraded members and for loose bolts or
nuts prior to lifting.
Make sure entire lifting, rigging and supporting C.
structure has been inspected, is in good condition
and has a rated capacity of at least the net weight of
the compressor plus an additional 10% allowance for
weight of snow, ice, mud or stored tools and
equipment. If your are unsure of the weight, then
weigh compressor before lifting.
Make sure lifting hook has a functional safety latch or D.
equivalent, and is fully engaged and latched on the
bail.
Use guide ropes or equivalent to prevent twisting or E.
swinging of the compressor once it has been lifted
clear of the ground.
DO NOTF. attempt to lift in high winds.
Keep all personnel out from under and away from the G.
compressor whenever it is suspended.
Lift compressor no higher than necessary.H.
Keep lift operator in constant attendance whenever I.
compressor is suspended.
Set compressor down only on a level surface capable J.
of supporting at least its net weight plus an additional
10% allowance for the weight of snow, ice, mud or
stored tools and equipment.
If the compressor is provided with parking brakes, K.
make sure they are set, and in any event, block or
chock both sides of all running wheels before
disengaging the lifting hook.
