Installation Safety Instructions

!All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or non-observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation, maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by Us Air Compressor.

1. The machine must only be lifted using suitable equipment in accordance with the applicable safety regulations. Loose or pivoting parts must be securely fastened before lifting. It is strictly forbidden to dwell or stay in the risk zone under a lifted load. Lifting acceleration and deceleration must be kept within safe limits. Wear a safety helmet when working in the area of overhead or lifting equipment.
2. The unit is designed for indoor use only.
3. Place the machine where the ambient air is as cool and clean as possible. If necessary, install a suction or discharge duct. Never obstruct the air inlet so does the outlet. Care must be taken to minimize the entry of moisture at the inlet air.
4. Any blanking flanges, plugs, caps and desiccant bags must be removed before connecting the pipes.
5. Air hoses must be of correct size and suitable for the working pressure. Never use frayed, damaged or worn hoses. Distribution pipes and connections must be of the correct size and suitable for the working pressure.
6. The aspirated air must be free of flammable fumes, vapors and particles, e.g. paint solvents, that can lead to internal fire or explosion.
7. Arrange the air intake so that loose clothing worn by people cannot be sucked in.
8. Ensure that the discharge pipe from the compressor to the aftercooler or air net is free to expand (FLEXIBLE & AFTERCOOLER IS NOT CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF PIPING) under heat and that it is not in contact with or close to flammable materials.
9. No external force may be exerted on the air outlet valve; the connected pipe must be free of strain.
10. If remote control is installed, the machine must bear a clear sign stating: DANGER: This machine is remotely controlled and may start without warning. The operator has to make sure that the machine is stopped and depressurized and that the electrical isolating switch is open, locked and labeled with a temporary warning before any maintenance or repair. As a further safeguard, persons switching on or off remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the start equipment.
11. Air-cooled machines must be installed in such a way that an adequate flow of cooling air is available and the exhausted air does not recirculate to the compressor air inlet or cooling air inlet. The electrical connections must correspond to the applicable codes. The machines must be earthed and protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. A lockable power isolating switch must be installed near the compressor.
12. On machines with automatic start/stop system or if the automatic restart function after voltage failure is activated, a sign stating “This machine may start without warning” must be affixed near the instrument panel.
13. In multiple compressor systems, manual valves must be installed to isolate each compressor. Non-return valves (check valves) must not be relied upon for isolating pressure systems.
14. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulation fitted on the machine. Every pressure vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above atmospheric pressure must be protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as required.
15. Piping or other parts with a temperature in excess of 70˚C (158˚F) and which may be accidentally touched by personnel in normal operation must be guarded or insulated. Other high temperature piping must be clearly marked.
16. For water-cooled machines, the cooling water system installed outside the machine has to be protected by a safety device with set pressure according to the maximum cooling water inlet pressure.
17. The ground must be leveled and must not be subject to variable inclination.
18. Using non U.S. Air Compressor original equipment and parts will VOID your warranty. Aftermarket parts are inferior and may cause damage to your compressor.
