1. Personal safety
The installation, operation and maintenance of the compressor must be carried out by trained personnel who are familiar with the contents of this instruction book.
The compressor must only be used to compress air.
Unauthorised remodelling or modification of the compressor may result in a safety hazard, and are not permitted.
Before any form of work is commenced on the compressor the electrical power must be turned off at the starter panel and at the main switchboard, and the switch on the main switchboard must be marked with a notice indicating that repair work is in progress. The discharge valve of the compressor must be closed, and the pressure must be released in all pressurised parts of the compressor.
The safety valves for LP and HP air, the bursting disc in the water mantle and any other safety equipment must be inspected regularly. Damaged components should be replaced with new, original parts. Adjustment of the safety valves shall only be carried out by authorised personnel. The compressor must never be used if the safety equipment is defective.
