•
Use only tested, certified bottles: do not exceed the working pressure indicated on
them.
•
Drain air from tanks before filling when tanks have set for a period of time unused.
•
Use the compressor in areas free from dust, risk of explosion, corrosion and fire.
•
Improper use could have serious consequences for the user.
•
Do not disconnect the hose from the fittings or the clamp when under pressure.
•
Change the air purification filters regularly as described in section “13.0 changing the
active carbon filters”.
•
Drain the condensate regularly as illustrated in section “13.2 Condensate discharge”.
•
Never operate the compressor when there is evident damage
•
All routine and unscheduled maintenance tasks must be carried out with the
compressor at a standstill, and all lines are depressurized.
•
After switching off the compressor wait about 30 minutes before carrying out any
maintenance tasks so as to prevent burns.
•
The high pressure flex hose that connects to the bottle (also called the refill hose)
must be in good condition, especially in the areas near the fittings. The plastic sheath
that covers the hose must not show any signs of abrasion otherwise moisture could
get in and corrode the steel braid thus weakening it. The hose must be changed
periodically (yearly) or when it shows signs of wear. Failure to observe this rule could
seriously endanger the users’ safety. Make sure the minimum bending radius of the
hose is no less than 10 inches (250 mm).
To ensure maximum working efficiency,
NUVAIR
has constructed the compressor with carefully
selected components and materials. The compressor is tested prior to delivery. Continued
compressor efficiency over time will also depend on proper use and maintenance as per the
instructions contained in this manual.
All the components, connections and controls used in its construction have been designed and
built to a high degree of safety so as to resist abnormal strain or in any case a strain greater than
that indicated in the manual. Materials are of the finest quality; their introduction and storage in the
company and their utilization in the workshop are controlled constantly so as to prevent any
damage, deterioration or malfunction.
This system is not cleaned for oxygen service and not all components are
compatible with gas mixtures containing greater than 40% oxygen. Pumping
gas mixtures containing greater than 40% oxygen will lead to explosions
which may cause severe personal injury or death.
Each SCUBA cylinder belonging to a customer must be analyzed by that customer at the
nitrox filling facility, using an oxygen analyzer independent of those used with the nitrox
system. An employee must witness that the customer has properly analyzed the gas in
each cylinder, noted the maximum operating depth for that mixture, and signed and dated
