All the components, connections and controls used in its construction have been designed and built to a high
degree of safety 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 to prevent any damage, deterioration, or malfunction.
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 tubes by welding them or while the compressor is
running.
•
Do not empty storage tanks completely—not even for long term storage—as this practice allows
damp air to get in and eventually corrode the tank.
•
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.
•
It is also forbidden to carry out work in any way other than that described or to neglect the
illustrated safety tasks.
•
The safety information and the general information given in this manual are very important.
1.7 Where the Compressor May be Used
This high-pressure compressor has been designed and built for the purpose of producing breathing air by
drawing it from the surrounding environment. The surrounding environment air must be free from any harmful
fumes or contaminates. The air is passed through an intake air filter, compressed, and run through breathing
air filtration before it is passed to the high-pressure output connection. The compressor must only be used in
environments having the characteristics described in the following table.
Area of Machine Use: Essential Data Table
Temperature Ambient Minimum: +41°F (+5°C); Maximum: +104°F (+40°C)
Air Humidity Maximum: 80%
rain
Tolerated Weather Conditions hail None
snow
Max Tilt Angle (bank) 15%
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.
