4. Compressed air owing immediately from the compressor may contain oil and impurities

and is not suitable for breathing! Compressed air has to be puried 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 installation.

The user is solely liable for injuries or damages which occur due to

non-compliance with safety guidelines during installation, operation

or servicing, as well as unauthorised use of equipment!

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. Access to all maintenance doors and areas as well as easy handling of large

components should be ensured.

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  -hazardous admixtures such as solvent vapours and carbon dust etc.

must not be released into the atmosphere.

ter it and do not store ammable 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.
