Safety Precautions For Start-Up - Comprag A Serie Bedienungsanleitung

4. Compressed air flowing immediately from the compressor may contain oil and impurities
and is not suitable for breathing! Compressed air has to be purified to an air purity grade
suitable for breathing, in accordance with the standards prescribed by local legislation.
5. Compressed air is an extremely hazardous energy source. Compressed air must not
be used for unintended purposes! Do not use it to clean clothing and footwear and never
point compressed air hoses at people and animals! When using air to clean equipment,
take extra caution and wear safety goggles!
6. All maintenance, repair, setup and installation work etc. must be performed while the
equipment is turned off, disconnected from the power source, with compressed-air hoses
disconnected from the equipment, and with the use of safety goggles! Ensure that equip-
ment is disconnected from the compressed air system and is not under pressure.

1.3 Safety precautions for start-up

1. Equipment must only be unloaded/loaded using the appropriate handling devices or
hoisters. Equipment must not be manually lifted or moved. Do not leave equipment sus-
pended. Use a helmet during unloading operations.
2. Arrange the equipment in a dry and clean facility which provides shelter from precipi-
tation. The facility must be well ventilated, and forced ventilation should be provided if
necessary.
3. Worn, damaged or spoiled compressed-air hoses should not be used. Ensure that
hoses correspond to the equipment in terms of nominal diameter and working pressure.
4. When using several compressor stations in a system, each compressor must have a manu-
ally operated valve for cutting off any of the compressors in the case of emergency.
5. Explosive and fire-hazardous admixtures such as solvent vapours and carbon dust etc.
must not be released into the atmosphere.
6. Ensure unrestricted access to the compressed-air hose from the compressor. Do not
clutter it and do not store flammable materials in its immediate vicinity.
7. Do not pinch or deform the compressed-air feed hoses.
8. Do not cover holes used to provide equipment with air for cooling. Ensure the facility is well
ventilated.
9. When using remote control, the equipment must give a legible and clear warning of this:
'ATTENTION: this machine is being controlled remotely and may start operating without
warning!' An operator who is remotely controlling equipment must ensure that no installa-
