SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety instructions in the operators manual are bold–faced for
emphasis. The signal words DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are
used to indicate hazard seriousness levels as follows.
Ensure that the operator reads and understands the decals and
consults the manuals before maintenance or operation.
DANGER
Indicates the presence of a hazard which WILL cause serious injury,
death or property damage, if ignored.
WARNING
Indicates the presence of a hazard which CAN cause serious injury,
death or property damage, if ignored.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

General Information
Pressurized air, refrigerant and electricity can be dangerous. Before
undertaking any work on the dryer, ensure that the electrical supply
has been isolated, locked off, tagged and the dryer has been
relieved of all compressed air pressure.
Make sure that all protective covers are in place and that the
canopy/doors are closed during operation.
Installation of this dryer must be in accordance with recognized
electrical codes and any local Health and Safety Codes.
Use only safety solvent for cleaning the dryer and auxiliary equipment.
Compressed air
Ensure that the machine is operating at the rated pressure and that the
rated pressure is known to all relevant personnel.
All air pressure equipment installed in or connected to the machine
must have safe working pressure ratings of at least the machine rated
pressure.
If more than one dryer is connected to one common downstream plant,
effective check valves and isolation valves must be fitted and controlled
by work procedures, so that one machine cannot accidentally be
pressurized / over pressurized by another.
If a safety valve is installed between the isolation valve and the dryer,
it must have sufficient capacity to relieve the full capacity of the
compressor(s).
If the discharged air is to be ultimately released into a confined space,
adequate ventilation must be provided.
The use of plastic bowls on line filters without metal guards can be
hazardous. Their safety can be affected by either synthetic lubricants,
or the additives used in mineral oils. Metal bowls should be used on a
pressurized system.
When using compressed air, always use appropriate personal
protective equipment.
All pressure containing parts, especially flexible hoses and their
couplings, must be regularly inspected, be free from defects and be
replaced according to the Manual instructions.
Compressed air can be dangerous if incorrectly handled. Before doing
any work on the unit, ensure that all pressure is vented from the system
and that the machine cannot be started accidentally.
Avoid bodily contact with compressed air.

Ensure that maintenance personnel are adequately trained, competent
and have read the Maintenance Manuals.
CAUTION
Indicates the presence of a hazard which WILL or can cause injury or
property damage, if ignored.
NOTICE
Indicates important set–up, operating or maintenance information.
Refrigerant
Refrigeration pipes can be very hot or very cold depending on the
operating pressure and media phase. Avoid contact with these
components.
Only technicians trained on servicing refrigeration circuits may work on
refrigeration systems. Handling, recovery, and dispensing refrigerant
requires specific Local and National refrigerant certifications.
DANGER
BREATHING REFRIGERANT
SUFFOCATION. DO NOT BREATHE FUMES.
Materials
The following substances are used in the manufacture of this machine
and may be hazardous to health if used incorrectly:
. refrigerant
compressor oil
WARNING
AVOID INGESTION, SKIN CONTACT AND INHALATION OF
FUMES
For further information, request and consult the Refrigerant and Oil
Material Data Sheets. The sheets are designated as 80441231
refrigerant MSDS, 80441926 refrigerant oil MSDS and can be obtained
from your local IR office, Distributor or Air Center.
Consult a physician if the refrigerant is inhaled or the refrigerant oil is
ingested.
Transport
When loading or transporting machines ensure that the specified lifting
and tie down points are used.
It is recommended that the machine be moved using the fork lift slots
in the machine base.
Refer to section 8 for reference information.
