Oxygen Generators are self-contained systems for the production of high purity
oxygen. Although oxygen itself is not combustible, it can be very dangerous. It greatly
accelerates the burning of combustible materials.
Precautions should be taken to avoid a fire in the area of the oxygen generator.
Smoking should not be permitted in the area where the oxygen generator is located.
All oxygen connections and hoses should be kept clean and free of grease, oil and other combustible
materials.
Valves controlling oxygen flow should be opened and closed slowly to avoid the possibility
of fires or explosions.
Do not attempt to modify or enhance the performance of an oxygen generator in any way.
When bleeding a tank or line, stand clear and do not allow oxygen to embed itself within clothing.
A spark could ignite the clothing violently.
