Safety And Operation
Precautions
Because an air compressor is a
piece of machinery with moving
and rotating parts, the same
precautions should be observed
as with any piece of machinery of
this type where carelessness in
operation or maintenance is
hazardous to personnel. In
addition to the many obvious
safety rules that should be
followed with this type of
machinery, the additional safety
precautions as listed below must
be observed:
1. Read all instructions
completely before operating
air compressor or unit.
2. For installation, follow all local
electrical and safety codes, as
well as the National Electrical
Code (NEC) and the
Occupational Safety and
Health Act (OSHA).
3. Electric motors must be
securely and adequately
grounded. This can be
accomplished by wiring with
a grounded, metal-clad
raceway system to the starter;
by using a separate wire
connected to the bare metal
of the motor frame; or other
suitable means.
4. Protect the power cable from
coming in contact with sharp
objects. Do not kink power
cable and never allow the
cable to come in contact with
oil, grease, hot surfaces, or
chemicals.
5. Make certain that the power
source conforms to the
requirements of your
equipment.
6. Pull main electrical disconnect
switch and disconnect any
separate control lines, if used,
before attempting to work or
perform maintenance on
the air compressor unit.

"Tag Out" or "Lock Out" all
power sources.
7. Do not attempt to remove
any compressor parts without
first relieving the entire
system of pressure.
8. Do not attempt to service any
part while machine is in an
operational mode.
9. Do not operate the
compressor at pressures in
excess of its rating.
10. Do not operate compressor at
speeds in excess of its rating.
11. Periodically check all safety
devices for proper operation.
Do not change pressure
setting or restrict operation
in any way.
12. Be sure no tools or rags or
loose parts are left on the
compressor or drive parts.
13. Do not use flammable
solvents for cleaning the air
inlet filter or element and
other parts.
14. Exercise cleanliness during
maintenance and when
making repairs. Keep dirt
away from parts by covering
parts and exposed openings
with clean cloth or Kraft
paper.
15. Do not operate the
compressor without guards,
shields and screens in place.
This unit can start
automatically without
warning.
16. Do not install a shut-off valve
in the discharge line, unless a
pressure relief valve, of
proper design and size, is
installed in the line between
the compressor unit and
shut-off valve.
17. Do not operate compressor in
areas where there is a
possibility of ingesting
flammable or toxic fumes.

18 Be careful when touching the
exterior of a recently run
motor - it may be hot enough
to be painful or cause injury.
With modern motors this
condition is normal if operated
at rated load - modern
motors are built to operate at
higher temperatures.
19. Inspect unit daily to observe
and correct any unsafe
operating conditions found.
20 Do not "play around" with
compressed air, nor direct air
stream at body, because this
can cause injuries.
21. Compressed air from this
machine absolutely must not
be used for food processing
or breathing air without
adequate downstream filters,
purifiers and controls.
22. Always use an air pressure
regulating device at the point
of use, and do not use air
pressure greater than marked
maximum pressure of
attachments.
23. Check hoses for weak or
worn condition before each
use and make certain that all
connections are secure.
24. Always wear safety glasses
when using compressed air
gun.
The user of any air compressor
package manufactured by
Speedaire is hereby warned that
failure to follow the preceding

Safety and Operation Precautions

can result in injuries or
equipment damage. However,
Speedaire does not state as fact
or does not mean to imply that
the preceding list of Safety and
Operating Precautions is all
inclusive, and further that the
observance of this list will prevent
all injuries or equipment damage.
