Spraying Precautions; Moisture In Compressed Air - Campbell Hausfeld VT639100 Manual De Instrucciones Y Lista De Piezas

General Safety Information (Continued)
11. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, STOP
the engine/motor and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
12. To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/motor exterior free of
oil, solvent, or excessive grease.
An ASME code safety relief valve with a
setting no higher than the maximum
allowable working pressure (MAWP) MUST be installed in the
tank for this compressor. The ASME safety valve must have
suffi cient fl ow and pressure ratings to protect the pressurized
components from bursting.
See compressor specifi cation decal for
maximum operating pressure. Do not
operate with pressure switch or pilot valves set higher than
the maximum operating pressure.
13. Never attempt to adjust ASME safety valve. Keep safety
valve free from paint and other accumulations.
Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for
compressed air. Serious injury or death
could result.
Never attempt to repair or
modify a tank! Welding, drilling
or any other modifi cation will weaken the tank
resulting in damage from rupture or explosion.
Always replace worn, cracked or damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from tank daily.
14. Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens the
tank. Make sure to drain tank regularly and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions such as rust formation
and corrosion.
15. Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris which may be
harmful. Release air slowly when draining moisture or
depressurizing the compressor system.

MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR

Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it
comes from an air compressor pump. When humidity is
high or when a compressor is in continuous use for an
extended period of time, this moisture will collect in the
tank. When using a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water
will be carried from the tank through the hose, and out of
the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water spots in a
paint job, especially when spraying other than water based
paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the sand to cake and
clog the gun, rendering it ineffective.
A fi lter in the air line, located as near to the gun as
possible, will help eliminate this moisture.

SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS

Do not spray fl ammable
materials in vicinity of open
fl ame or near ignition sources including the
compressor unit.
16. Do not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides,
or other flammable substances.
17. Use a face mask / respirator when spraying and
spray in a well ventilated area to prevent health
and fire hazards.
18. Do not direct paint or other sprayed material
at the compressor. Locate compressor as far away from
the spraying area as possible to minimize overspray
accumulation on the compressor.
19. When spraying or cleaning with solvents or toxic
chemicals, follow the instructions provided by the chemical
manufacturer.
The DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTICE
notifications and instructions in this manual cannot cover
all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It
must be understood by the operator that caution is a
factor which cannot be built into this product, but must be
supplied by the operator.
