Never use compressed air for cleaning clothing Compressed air connections may split Only connect the compressor to the existing compressed alr system when the and put people at risk. service temperatures and service prossures are correct and the connecting ‘lange and connecting thread are in full working order. AAllconnected components must be of the correct size and be suitable for the specified operating pressure and temperature (Le. distributing pipes and pipe connections). ‘Ahose connected to an air valve must be fitted with a sataty wire for ‘operating pressures above 7 bars; its in fact recommended that this safety dovice should be used for pressures above 4 bars. The steel wire has a diameter of 8 mm and is firmly clamped to the hose at least every 500 mm. Both ends are fitied with cable lugs. Do not use chafed, damaged or poor-quality hoses. Only use the correct type and size of hose coupling and connection ‘The compressed air line connected at the air exit of the unit must not be under strain No force should be applied to the outlet thread or the outlet flange by, for ‘example, pulling on the lines or by mounting additional equipment (e.g. a water separator or a pneumatic oiler, etc.) Compressed airlines may be breached —Compressed-air lines have to be marked distinctly according to local by accident regulations.

Loose hose ends may flog and result in Fix the hose in such a way that it does not lash i the connection is broken. ey Before blowing through a hose or air ine tis essential o hold the open end firmly. Before disconnecting a hose, always make sure that itis not under pressure, 3. Safety regulations Danger Safety measure required Compression results in high tomperatures. The systom should be set up such that hazardous mixtures (inflammable solvent vapours etc, but also dusts and other dangerous or toxic materials) cannot be drawn in. The same applies to flying sparks. Never use the machine in environments where the possibilty cannot be ruled out that inflammable or toxic vapours may be taken in. ‘The installation is to be set up in such a way that itis adequately accessible and that the necessary cooling is ensured. Never block the admission of air Compressor units must never be operated in areas subject to explosion hazards! (Exception: Special units with the corresponding technical modifications) ‘There is strong suction at the air inet The air intake is to be designed in such a way that no loose clothing can be drawn in, ‘There isa risk of injury, e.. from getting stuck or being drawn in ‘The personnel must not have long, loose hair, or wear loose clothing or jewelery, including rings, due to risk of injury through catching, Personal protective equioment should be worn if necessary. Connected compressed air tools may start up unexpectedly when switching Before switching on the machine / installation, or starting it up, make sure that nobody can be injured by the machine installation as it starts up. Compressed air may contain ‘substances that may damage your health if inhaled ‘The compressed air produced by these compressors must not be used as. breathable air, unless it has been processed specially for such an application in accordance with the “Safety requirements for breathable alt.” When breathing apparatus with cartridges is used, make sure that the correct cartridge has been insorted and that its service fe has not expired, The safety valves in the system only ‘uarantee the pressure relief for the ‘compressor unit ‘The pressure devices/systams connected to the compressor must be secured allowing for the weakest prassurised component (safaty valve or similar). Asa rule: If several compressors are arranged in a system, manually operated valves hhave to be installed so that each machine may be shut off individually. For the purpose of shutting off pressurized systems, you should never rely on the effectiveness of return valves alone. All pressure tanks located outside the unit with an approved operating pressure higher than atmospheric pressure and fitted with two or more pressure feed lines must be equipped with an additonal safety device to ‘automatically prevent the approved operating pressure from being exceeded by more than 10%. Never operate the system at temperatures andlor pressures below or above the values indicated in the technical data sheet. 3.

Storage of compressors 7.4 Shutdown ‘The compressor can only be decommissioned professionally by specially trained technicians. Contact your Gardner Denver agent. Your agent will be able to decommission the compressor for you, or train you so that you can decommission it yourself. ‘All compressors are protected against corrosion at the factory for transport and for brief storage before commissioning. Inthe compressors are to be stored for period ‘exceeding six months, additional precautions must be taken. ‘Compressors which are to be shut down for a lengthy period must also be protected from corrosion. Since corrosion occurs more quickly in damp atmospheres than in dry conditions, its not possible to specify a maximum permissible standstil time which will apply in all cases. Note Tho following aspects must be taken into account for storage of storing compressors. The compressor should be stored in a dry building which should be heated if possible. This is particularly true during the months of winter. The coolant is to be completely drained where there is a risk of frost (t< 1°C) (compressor stage, coolers, system containers, water filers, storage containers, RO unit lines, vaives). I there is a risk that the temperature wil fall or rise above the limits of -10 °C to +65 °C, the electrical controller must be removed and stored in ambient temperatures of #5 °C to +30 °C. 28 8. Maintenance 8.1 General maintenance information Have the compressor maintained on a regular basis. The maintenance schedule (see chapter 8.3) must be observed. Important parts wear over time. They must be checked and replaced if necessary. ‘The compressor can only be maintained by ‘specially trained technicians. Contact your Gardner Denver agent. Your agent will be able to maintain the compressor for you, or train you so that you can maintain it yourself.
