material. Any acoustical material with a protective
covering that has been torn or punctured should be
replaced immediately to prevent accumulation of
liquids or fluid film within the material. DO NOT use
flammable solvents for cleaning purposes.
D. Disconnect and lock out all power at source prior
to attempting any repairs or cleaning of the vacuum
or of the inside of the enclosure, if any.
E. Keep electrical wiring, including all terminals and
pressure connectors in good condition. Replace
any wiring that has cracked, cut abraded or other-
wise degraded insulation, or terminals that are
worn, discolored or corroded. Keep all terminals
and pressure connectors clean and tight.
F. Keep grounded and/or conductive objects such
as tools away from exposed live electrical parts
such as terminals to avoid arcing which might serve
as a source of ignition.
G. Remove any acoustical material or other materi-
al that may be damaged by heat or that may sup-
port combustion and is in close proximity, prior to
attempting weld repairs.
H. Keep suitable fully charged fire extinguisher or
extinguishers nearby when servicing and operating
the vacuum.
I. Keep oily rags, trash, leaves, litter or other com-
bustibles out of and away from the vacuum.
J. DO NOT operate the vacuum without proper flow
of cooling air or water or with inadequate flow of
lubricant or with degraded lubricant.
K. DO NOT attempt to operate the vacuum in any
classification of hazardous environment unless the
vacuum has been specially designed and manu-
factured for that duty.
1.5 MOVING PARTS
A. Keep hands, arms and other parts of the body
and also clothing away from couplings, fans and
other moving parts.
B. DO NOT attempt to operate the vacuum with the
fan, coupling or other guards removed.
C. Wear snug-fitting clothing and confine long hair
when working around this vacuum, especially when
exposed to hot or moving parts.
D. Keep access doors, if any, closed except when
making repairs or adjustments.
E. Make sure all personnel are out of and/or clear
of the vacuum prior to attempting to start or operate
it.
F. Disconnect and lock out all power at source and
verify at the vacuum that all circuits are de-ener-
gized to minimize the possibility of accidental start-
up or operation, prior to attempting repairs or
adjustments. This is especially important when vac-
uums are remotely controlled.
G. Keep hands, feet, floors, controls and walking
surfaces clean and free of fluid, water, or other liq-
uids to minimize the possibility of slips and falls.
1.6 HOT SURFACES, SHARP EDGES AND SHARP
CORNERS
A. Avoid bodily contact with hot fluid, hot coolant,
hot surfaces and sharp edges and corners.
B. Keep all parts of the body away from all points of
air discharge.
C. Wear personal protective equipment including
gloves and head covering when working in, on or
around the vacuum.
D. Keep a first aid kit handy. Seek medical assis-
tance promptly in case of injury. DO NOT ignore
small cuts and burns as they may lead to infection.
1.7 TOXIC AND IRRITATING SUBSTANCES
A. DO NOT use air from this vacuum for respiration
(breathing) except in full compliance with any
Federal, State or Local Codes or regulations.
B. DO NOT use air line anti-icer systems in air lines
supplying respirators or other breathing air utiliza-
tion equipment and DO NOT discharge air from
these systems in unventilated or other confined
areas.
C. Operate the vacuum only in open or adequately
ventilated areas. Pipe the discharge of the vacuum
out of the room it is installed in. DO NOT restrict
the discharge of the vacuum system.
D. Coolants and lubricants used in this vacuum are
typical of the industry. Care should be taken to
avoid accidental ingestion and/or skin contact. In
the event of ingestion, seek medical treatment
promptly. Wash with soap and water in the event of
skin contact. Consult the vacuum operator's man-
ual lubrication section for information pertaining to
vacuum fluid fill.
1.8 ELECTRICAL SHOCK
A. This vacuum should be installed and maintained
in full compliance with all applicable Federal, State
Death or serious injury can result from
inhaling compressed air without using
