1.6 Purpose of the Machine
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 pulled through an intake air filter, compressed, and passed through
breathing air filtration before it is stored in tanks constructed to contain air at high pressure. The compressor
can also be used for the pumping of gases:
•
Nitrogen
•
Helium
•
Nitrox mixtures up to 40%
Any other use is inappropriate. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any personal injury or damage to
objects / the machine itself caused by improper use.
•
Use only tested, certified storage tanks: do not exceed the working pressure indicated on them.
•
Drain air from tanks before filling when tanks have not been used for an extended period.
• 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.
•
Drain the condensate regularly as illustrated in section 13.2: Condensate Discharge.
•
The power must be disconnected and locked out before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance
tasks.
•
Never pull a plug out by tugging the cord. Make sure the cord is not bent at a sharp angle and that it
does not rub against any sharp edges. Use of extensions is not advised.
•
Never operate the compressor when the power cord is damaged.
•
All routine and unscheduled maintenance tasks must be carried out with the compressor at a
standstill, the electrical power supply disconnected or locked out and all lines are depressurized.
•
After switching off the compressor wait about 30 minutes before carrying out any maintenance
tasks to prevent burns.
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.
