larly to achieve safe operation, maximum efficiency and long service life.

• This compressor unit must be installed, operated, maintained and repaired only by authorized, trained and qual-
ified personnel. Keep safety guards in place. Do not modify the compressor or its systems.

• Consult and follow all OSHA, NEMA, ASME and local regulations, laws and codes covering the installation

• All electrical installation must be in accordance with recognized national, state, and local electrical codes.

• Do not operate this unit in excess of it’s rated capacity, speed, pressure, temperature, or otherwise than in
accordance with the instructions contained in this manual. Operation of this unit in excess of the conditions set
forth in this manual will subject the unit to limits which it may not be designed to withstand.

• Do not wear loose clothing around machinery. Loose clothing, neckties, rings, wrists watches, bracelets, hand
rags, etc. are potential hazards.

• Make sure you are equipped with all required safety equipment; hearing protection, safety glasses, hard hats,
safety shoes and fire extinguisher.

• Visually inspect the unit before starting. Remove and / or replace any loose or broken components, tools,
valves, missing equipment, etc.

• Do not tamper with, modify, or bypass safety and shutdown equipment.

• Do not tighten or adjust fitting or connections under pressure.

• Before doing any work involving maintenance or adjustment, be sure the electrical supply has been discon-
nected, and the complete compressor system has been vented of all internal pressure.

• Before working on the electrical system, disconnect the electrical supply from the system at the circuit breaker
or other manual disconnect.

• The use of repair parts other than those listed in this manual or purchased from BAUER Compressors, Inc. may
create unsafe conditions over which BAUER has no control. Such unsafe conditions can lead to accidents that
may be life-threatening, cause substantial bodily injury, and/or result in damage to the equipment. Therefore,
BAUER Compressors, Inc. can bear no responsibility for equipment in which non-approved repair parts are
installed

• We recommend that all maintenance work be recorded in a service book, showing the date and details of the
work carried out. This will help to avoid expensive repairs caused by missed maintenance work. If it is neces-
sary to make a claim against the warranty, it will help to have proof that regular maintenance has been carried
out and that the damage has not been caused by insufficient maintenance.
