Breathable Air Warning

This compressor/pump is not equipped
and should not be used “as is” to
supply breathing quality air. For any
application of air for human
consumption, the air
compressor/pump will need to be
fitted with suitable in-line safety and
alarm equipment. This additional
equipment is necessary to properly
filter and purify the air to meet
minimal specifications for Grade D
breathing  as described in Compressed
Gas Association Commodity
Specification G 7.1 - 1966, OSHA 29 CFR
1910. 134, and/or Canadian Standards
Associations (CSA).

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
In the event the compressor is used
for the purpose of breathing air
application and proper in-line
safety and alarm equipment is not
simultaneously used, existing
warranties shall be voided, and
Campbell Hausfeld disclaims any
liability whatsoever for any loss,
personal injury or damage.
