CHAPTER 1

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Pay attention to all the safety and operation regulations mentioned in this handbook, this way the
accident probability will be minimized and the life of machine will increase.
Do not make any modification on the machine without written permission of Manufacturer.
Prior the assembly, starting and maintenance of the machine ensure that the handbook is carefully read
by related persons (operators, maintenance personnel etc).
Ensure that the maintenance and operation of the machine is only made by competent personnel with
sufficient training.
In case the directives, processes and safety regulations are not complied; it may cause accidents,
damage and injuries.
If the operation of the compressor is not safe;
Never start it.
o
Notify this situation to other related persons.
o
Put a warning label explaining this situation on a visible place of compressor.
o
In order to avoid the uninformed operation of the compressor; turn off the main circuit breaker
o
or remove power cables.
1.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
The company officials should be very sensitive and careful for ensuring that the operators of the compressor
take all personal safety precautions and to comply with all related standards.

1.3 PRESSURE LINE CONNECTIONS

In order to efficiently run the compressor; make sure that all devices and equipment you have chosen
are in conformity with the compressor's capacity and operation pressure. Select suitable filter, piping
and air hose. Our sales and service personnel will help you in this matter.
Make sure that none of the air circuit equipment and connections are leaking, deliberately
misassembled and are not subject to excessive heat variations and are not subjected to dust, gas,
humidity etc. type of corrosive environmental factors.
Stop the compressor before removal of any connection or equipment (filter .etc) and make sure that
internal pressure is completely discharged (check that the pressure gauge value is at 0). In order to
avoid any damage and injury, after shutting off the compressor wait for the decrease of the foam of the
oil in separator tank. Do not forget that when there is pressure in the separator tank and in case of
removal of oil tap or some other element; the hot and compressed oil may splash and cause injuries.
Keep the human beings and living things away from the exit of compressed air (nozzle, blow out exit,
exhaust etc) and take necessary safety precautions.
Do not spray compressed air on human beings. Do not use compressed air in personal cleaning.
Do not breathe the compressed air of the compressor. Do not use it for ventilation purpose.
Do no make jokes with air hose for avoiding severe accident and injuries.
Do not vary the pressure adjustment of safety pressure switch and safety valve. Periodically carry out
the functional checking of safety valve.
One each exit vane is mounted at the compressor air outlet. During maintenance and repair close this
vane. This way you may start the repair within the compressor without the need of completely
discharging the air tank. This saves you time by establishing safety.
Do not close the outlet vane when the compressor is running or do not start the compressor while the
outlet vane is closed. Your compressor may stop due to overpressure error.

1.4 FIRE AND EXPLOSION RISK

Do not allow accumulation of oil, petrol, thinner, solvent etc. inside and around the compressor. Clean
immediately if you see.
In case of potential fire hazard, immediately turn off the compressor and switch off the main switch.
Afterwards, remove all reasons that may cause flame, spark and other fire constituting reasons. Do not
allow smoking in your environment.
Never allow accumulation of oil on the insulating material inside the cowling, on the outer surface of
compressor or within the compressor cabinet. If necessary obtain a cleaner that may clean these
accumulations. When needed remove the insulating material and replace. Never use inflammable
material in cleaning process.
