2.0 Safety
2.1 GENERAL
Oxygen, the most abundant of the elements, makes up approximately 50 percent
of the earth’s crust. In its free state, oxygen forms approximately one-fifth of air by
volume. Although classified as a nonflammable gas, oxygen supports combustion.
As an active element, it combines directly or indirectly with all the elements except
the rare gases. Oxygen is an invisible gas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.
To ensure your safety, thoroughly read and familiarize yourself with the entire section
of this instruction manual. In addition, AirSep Corporation strongly recommends
that you review this section periodically.
2.2 POTENTIAL HAZARDS
Oxygen vigorously accelerates the burning of combustible
materials. In an oxygen-enriched atmosphere, many materials that
do not burn in normal air require only a slight spark or moderate
heat to set them aflame.
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, keep gasoline, kerosene, oil,
grease, cotton fibers, wood, paint, and other combustible material
away from all parts of the oxygen generator.
Do not allow smoking, open flame, or usage of electronic devices
that may generate sparks (e.g., cellular telephones) near the
oxygen generator.
Post “NO SMOKING” or “OPEN FLAMES” signs conspicuously
near the location of the oxygen generator.
Take extreme care to keep all oxygen piping and vessels clean. To
avoid fire or explosion, oxygen clean all surfaces that can come in
contact with the product oxygen. Check all oxygen fittings for leaks
with an oxygen-compatible, leak-detecting solution.
To prevent fire or electrical shock, locate the oxygen generator
indoors, away from rain or any other type of moisture.
Before attempting to install, operate, or repair the oxygen
generator, read and thoroughly understand this instruction manual
and the component manuals located in the Appendix C of this
instruction manual. Improper installation, operation, or repairs can
result in severe bodily injury, damage to the oxygen generator, or
poor performance.
