Safety Warnings
This equipment is used to provide breathing gas for the purpose of underwater life support.
Read this manual in its entirety. Failure to heed the warnings and cautions contained in this
document may result in severe injury or death.
The equipment you will be using to manufacture Nitrox (oxygen rich air) will expose you to
both low and high-pressure gas. Gas, even under moderate pressures, can cause extreme
bodily harm. Never allow any gas stream to be directed at any part of your body.
Any pressurized hose can cause extreme harm if it comes loose or separates from its restraint
(or termination) while under pressure and strikes any part of your body. Use appropriate care
in making and handling all gas connections.
Pure nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that will not support life.
Breathing gas mixtures containing more than 84% nitrogen at surface pressures
will lead to unconsciousness and may cause death.
The nitrogen discharge from the membrane system must be vented to the
exterior of any closed building, boat, or similar enclosed space. Breathing gas
mixtures containing more than 84% nitrogen at surface pressure will lead to
unconsciousness and may cause death.
Do not use any form of mineral oil or synthetic lubricant not rated for Nitrox in
any compressor in this system. Use only the recommended Nitrox compressor
lubricant. Never mix the Nitrox compressor lubricant with other lubricants.
Remove all existing lubricant and replace with the proper Nitrox compressor lubricant prior to
installing the membrane system. The use of improper lubricants can lead to fire or explosions,
which may cause serious personal injury or death.
Do not use this system to produce Nitrox mixtures containing more than 40%
oxygen. Pumping Nitrox mixtures with higher concentrations of oxygen may
lead to fires or explosions, which can cause serious personal injury or death.
