SAFETY Section 1 - Pg 03
1.3 Pressure Release - Continued
G. Secure all hose connections by wire, chain or other suitable retaining device to
prevent tools or hose ends from being accidentally disconnected and expelled.
H. Open fluid filler cap only when compressor is not running and is not pressurized.
Shut down the compressor and bleed the sump (receiver) to zero internal pressure
before removing the cap.
I. Vent all internal pressure prior to opening any line, fitting, hose, valve, drain plug,
connection or other component, such as filters and line oilers, and before attempting
to refill optional air line anti-icer systems with antifreeze compound.
J. Keep personnel out of line with and away from the discharge opening of hoses, tools
or other points of compressed air discharge.
K. DO NOT use air at pressures higher than 30 psig (2.1 bar) for cleaning purposes, and
then only with effective chip guarding and personal protective equipment per OSHA
Standard 29 CFR 1910.242 (b) or any applicable Federal, State and Local codes,
standards and regulations.
L. DO NOT engage in horseplay with air hoses as death or serious injury may result.
M. This equipment is supplied with an ASME designed pressure vessel protected by an
ASME rated relief valve. Lift the handle once a week to make sure the valve is
functional. DO NOT lift the handle while machine is under pressure.
N. If the machine is installed in an enclosed area it is necessary to vent the relief valve to
the outside of the structure or to an area of non-exposure.
O. If a manual blowdown valve is provided on the receiver, open the valve to insure all
internal pressure has been vented prior to servicing any pressurized component of the
compressor air/fluid system.
1.4 Fire and Explosion
A. Refuel at a service station or from a fuel tank designed for its intended purpose. If
this is not possible, ground the compressor to the dispenser prior to refueling.
B. Clean up spills of fuel, fluid, battery electrolyte or coolant immediately if such spills
occur.
