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.
