This owner's manual uses signal words recommended by the American National Standards Institute
(see ANSI Z535.4) to designate levels of hazards. These signal words and their definitions are as
follows:
DANGER
This warning indicates a very hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury. This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.
WARNING
indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION
indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, might result in minor or
moderate injury. It is also used to alert against unsafe practices.
NOTICE
Follow manufacturers recommendations and cautions, of drive engines and electric motors. Carefully
read and follow these instructions prior to operation of your compressor.
CAUTION
As a new owner of a cylinder-filling compressor you are now "a filling station." You must follow all local,
state and federal regulations. Prior to filling a cylinder, check the pressure rating and current hydro date
stamped on cylinder neck. Do not fill out-of-date, (hydro-date) cylinders for anyone. You should also
control that you and your buddies have a valid scuba certification, nationally and/or internationally
accepted and issued by a recognized instructional agency.
GENERAL
In the interest of health and safety, we strongly recommend that you follow these operating instructions
precisely. Damage resulting from any deviation from these operating instructions is excluded from the
warranty and liability of
Max-Air.
Special Attention Must Be Paid To The Following:
a) Correct maintenance of the filtering system.
b) Regular drainage of the condensate.
When opening the condensate drain tap, both condensate and air should escape profusely.
Contaminated or wet filters result in contaminated air.
c) Fill "in test" air cylinders only. Normal rated operating pressures must not be exceeded.
d) Air intake.
The intake of exhaust gases (e.g. from the driving motor) could have fatal consequences. When
operating the compressor, ensure that the air intake draws clean air and cannot be contaminated by
noxious exhaust gases.
