SECTION 1:
SAFETY
1.1 General
Vanair
®
Manufacturing designs and manufactures all of its products so they can be
operated safely. However, the responsibility for safe operation rests with those who use
and maintain these products. The following safety precautions are offered as a guide
which, if conscientiously followed, will minimize the possibility of accidents through the
useful life of this equipment.
The air compressor should be operated only by those who have been trained and
delegated to do so, and who have read and understood this Operator’s Manual. Failure to
follow the instructions, procedures and safety precautions in this manual can result in
accidents and injuries.
NEVER start the air compressor unless it is safe to do so DO NOT attempt to operate the
air compressor with a known unsafe condition. Tag the air compressor and render it
inoperative by disconnecting the battery so others who may not know of the unsafe
condition will not attempt to operate it until the condition is corrected.
Use and operate the air compressor only in full compliance with all pertinent OSHA
requirements and/or all pertinent Federal, State and Local codes or requirements.
DO NOT modify the compressor except with written factory approval.
Each day walk around the air compressor and inspect for leaks, loose or missing parts,
damaged parts or parts out of adjustment. Perform all recommended daily maintenance.
Inspect for torn, frayed, blistered or otherwise deteriorated and degraded hoses. Replace
as required.
NOTE: Estimated hose life based on a 5-day 8-hour work week is 3 years. These
conditions exist on an 8-hour shift only. Any other operation of the equipment other than
8-hour shifts would deteriorate the hose life based on hours of operation.
