Notes on the compressor
Gardner Denver screw compressors are the result of
many years of research and development. These
prerequisites combined with high quality standards
guarantee the manufacture of screw compressors
providing a long service life, high reliability and cost-
effective operation. It stands to reason that all
requirements concerning environmental protection are
met.

Intended use
The machine/unit has been constructed in accordance
with state-of-the-art technology and the recognized
safety regulations. Nevertheless, its use may constitute
a risk to life and limb of the user or third persons or
cause damage to the machine or to other material
property, if
it is not used as intended,
it is operated by unqualified personnel,
it is improperly modified or changed,
the safety regulations are not observed.
Therefore, any person entrusted with the operation,
maintenance or repair of the machine must read and
follow the safety regulations. If required, this has to be
acknowledged by signature.

manual, and only by safety-conscious persons who are
fully aware of the risks involved in operating the
machine/unit! Any functional defects, especially those
affecting safety, have to be rectified immediately (or
rectified by others)!
The machine/unit is designed exclusively for the
generation of compressed air to power air-driven
devices. Using the machine/unit for purposes other than
those mentioned above is considered contrary to its
intended use. The manufacturer/supplier cannot be
held responsible for damage resulting from such use.
The risk of such misuse lies solely with the user.
Operating the machine within the limits of its intended
use also involves observing the instructions set out in
the operating manual and complying with the inspection
and maintenance directives.
