the fill log. The time of day must also be included with the date, since some customers may
fill the same cylinder more than once a day.
•
Before carrying out any work on the compressor each operator must have a perfect
understanding of how the compressor works, know how to use the controls and have
read the technical information contained in this manual.
•
It is forbidden to use the compressor under conditions or for purposes other than
those indicated in this manual and NUVAIR cannot be held liable for breakdowns,
problems or accidents caused by failure to observe this rule.
•
Check that the fittings provide a proper seal by wetting them with soapy water: Stop
the compressor and eliminate any leaks immediately when detected.
•
Do not attempt to repair high pressure hoses by welding them or while the
compressor is running.
•
Do not empty the bottles completely, not even during winter storage as this practice
allows damp air to get in and eventually corrode the bottle.
•
It is forbidden to tamper with, alter or modify, even partially, the systems and
equipment described in this instruction manual, especially as safety guards and
safety symbols are concerned.

Where the Compressor may be used
The compressor model MCH30 / MCH36 has been designed and built for the purpose of
obtaining breathing air by drawing it from the surrounding environment, free from any harmful
fumes. The air is passed through an intake filter and, after the filtration cycle, is stored in bottles
constructed to contain air at high pressure. The compressor must only be used in environments
having the characteristics described in the following table:
Area of Machine Use: Essential Data Table
Ambient Temperature
Min. 41°F / Max. 113°F (Min. 5°C / Max. 45°C)
Air Humidity(%)
Maximum 80%
Weather Conditions: Rain, Hail,
Snow
Do Not Use – Excessive Humidity
Max Tilt
6% (5.5°)
Check that the area in which the compressor is to be positioned is adequately ventilated: good
air exchange (more than one window) with no dust and no risk of explosion, corrosion or fire. If
ambient temperatures exceed 113°F (45°C) air conditioning will be required. Make sure that
lighting in the area is sufficient to identify every detail (such as the writing on the info
plates/stickers); use artificial lighting where daylight on its own is insufficient.
