2.0 Safety
2.1
GENERAL
Oxygen, the most abundant of the elements, makes up about 50 percent of the
earth’s crust. In its free state, it forms about one-fifth of our air by volume. Although
oxygen is classified as a non-flammable gas, it supports combustion. As an active
element, it combines directly or indirectly with all elements except the rare gases. It
is an invisible gas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.
To ensure your safety, thoroughly read and familiarize yourself with this Safety
section. AirSep Corporation strongly recommends that you review this section
periodically.
2.2
POTENTIAL HAZARDS
Before you attempt to install, operate, or repair the Centrox Oxygen Concentrator,
read and thoroughly understand this instruction manual. Improper operation can
result in severe bodily injury, damage to the system, or poor performance.
It is recommended to have an alternate source of oxygen supply if
a power failure or equipment malfunction occurs.
Take extreme care to keep all the oxygen piping and vessel clean.
To avoid a fire or an explosion, oxygen clean all surfaces that can
come in contact with oxygen. Check all oxygen fittings/joints for
leaks with an oxygen-compatible leak-detecting solution.
Always place power cords in a manner that prevents trip or
possible accidental strangulation.
