8 General Safety Instructions
Besides the specific safety-related technical notes contained in these instructions and the sub supplier's documentation, you must also observe the generally applicable safety and accident regulations, such as the:
– Recognised technical regulations for safe and professional work – Regional and internal regulations
– Regulations from the responsible classification authority
– Rules and regulations for the prevention of accidents from the professional organisation, in particular concerning compressors
– Safety signs and indicator plates on the machine/system – Environmental protection regulations
Incorrect handling or failure to comply with regulations concerning use can result in the risk of physical injury and death and/or damage to property. Observe the limits specified in the technical data.
Find out about the fire detection and fire prevention options, and ensure that these are fully functional and sufficient.
9 Safety Equipment
Danger!
Faulty safety equipment may put lives and equipment at risk.
All safety equipment must always be in a flawless and fully operational condition. You must not make the safety equipment inoperative in any way.
If a piece of safety equipment is defective, the machine/system must not be operated.
Only remove safety equipment if the machine/system has been isolated and secured.
Perform regular checks on the safety equipment, in accordance with the regulations in this documentation and the sub suppliers' documentation.
10 Instruments for Operating Surveillance
Caution!
If instruments for operating surveillance are out of order, monitoring of the operating conditions of the machine/system may lead to incorrect analyses. This may put lives and/or equipment at risk.
Never decommission any instruments for operating surveillance.
If instruments for operating surveillance are defective, they must be changed as soon as possible. Take utmost care when operating the machine/system until the instruments are exchanged.

11 Safety Instructions for Assembly
Danger!
During assembly and installation, the functioning of the safety equipment is not guaranteed. Therefore, the safety of the assembling personnel is to a great extent dependent on the proper execution of work.
Only trained and briefed personnel are permitted to carry out assembling and installation work. The personnel must have a specialised knowledge of compressed air and electrical engineering.
Only use suitable and fully functioning tools.
During torching or welding work, ensure that risks of fire or explosion are avoided.
12 Additional Safety Instructions for Electrical Installation
All work on the electrical systems is only allowed to be performed by qualified electronics specialists.
Danger!
Deadly voltage!
Before starting to work on electrical equipment, the machine/system must be de- energized. Ensure that
− the mains supply is deactivated. Check that the disconnected parts are de- energized before commencing work.
− the electricity supply cannot be reconnected unintentionally or without authorization while work is being performed on the electrical installation. − the electricity for parts which must remain connected for the maintenance
and repair work only remains connected for as long as is absolutely necessary for the work in question.
Danger!
The main switch remains energized even if it is deactivated.
Work carried out on electrical systems must be done so in accordance with the valid safety regulations, as well as all other relevant state or local regulations. Under no circumstances repair or tide over defective fuses. Fuses must only be replaced by the same type of fuses.
When working on electrical systems, only use permitted and suitable tools. Only use voltage-free tools.
When taking measurements with the voltage supply of >65 V activated, − you must under no circumstances touch the electrical connection points, − the inspection equipment must be in good condition and safe to operate, − you must not wear any jewelry on fingers or wrists,
− you must stand on insulated ground.

13 Safety Instructions for Operation and Service
Danger!
The machine/system must only be operated by trained and briefed operating personnel.
New personnel may only use the machine/system under the constant supervision of trained and briefed operating personnel.
Give regular briefings on accident regulations and the requirements stated in this documentation.
Danger! Drawing in into moving parts!
Body parts or clothing may get caught at the flywheel. Prior to start-up, check that the flywheel cover is fitted!
Caution! Burn hazard!
The compressor housing and the pressure pipes become hot during operation. Wear protective gloves!
Caution! Drawing in into moving parts!
Long hair or loose clothing may get caught at the air intake filter.
When the compressor is in operation, maintain a safe distance to the compressor housing!
Caution!
In automatic operation mode, the compressor starts automatically without warning.

14 Safety Instructions for Maintenance and Repairs
Danger!
The machine/system must only be maintained and repaired by trained and briefed maintenance personnel. The personnel must have a specialised knowledge of hydraulic and electrical engineering.
Optionally, the compressed air pressure gauges can be equipped with gauge valves. In this case, the compressor may be under pressure although the compressed air pressure gauges show a pressure of 0 bar.
Before starting any repair work, shutdown the machine/system and secure it against unintentional restarting. If the work can only be carried out while the machine/system is running, make the necessary safety arrangements. A second person must monitor the work, and be ready to intervene if needed.
When carrying out maintenance and repair work, do not decommission more than one piece of safety equipment at a time.
Only use suitable and fully functioning tools.
Caution! Burn hazard!
The compressor housing and the pressure pipes become hot during operation. Before beginning maintenance work, allow the compressor to cool down for approx. 2 hours!
Caution!
Besides the information contained in this documentation, you must also observe the regulations of the classification authorities and professional organisations in order to determine the inspection and maintenance intervals.
After disassembly, always exchange self-locking nuts and gaskets. They are not designed for repeat use.
If leaks occur at couplings which are sealed with resilient joint gaskets, the leaks cannot be eliminated by retightening the coupling because the resilient joint gaskets are damaged or hardened. Exchange the resilient joint gaskets.
Pay particular attention to cleanliness. Cover any openings to prevent the ingress of dirt.
Ensure that tools, loose parts or cleaning cloths are not left in or on the compressor.
Dispose of old oils and grease in an environmentally friendly manner in accordance with national regulations.
