SAFETY
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. For safe machine operation it is
vitally important to review all safety precautions
noted in the Safety Section of your compressor’s
Operator’s Manual. The precautions listed there, as
well as those following, 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 their compressor’s
Operator’s Manual. Failure to follow the instruc-
tions, procedures and safety precautions listed
here and in the Operator’s 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 lock-
ing 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.
Use and operate the air compressor only in full
compliance with all pertinent OSHA requirements or
any pertinent Federal, State, and Local codes or
requirements.
DO NOT modify the compressor and/or controls in
any way except with written factory approval.
1.2 ELECTRICAL SHOCK
A. Keep all parts of the body and any hand-held
tools or 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.
B. Attempt repairs only in clean, dry and well light-
ed and ventilated areas.
C. Stay clear of the compressor during electrical
storms! It can attract lightning.
1.3 VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE
Refer to Section 6 for safety information on prducts
with variable speed drives.
1.4 DECALS
See Figures 1-1A and 1-1B. The Supervisor control
panel contains several decals which contain neces-
sary information for safe performance. These
decals should never be removed. If a decal
becomes damaged, contact your nearest Sullair
Distributor or the Sullair Corporation factory Service
Department for replacement parts (Note: When
ordering new decals, use part number printed on
decal face.).
