Cautions and Warnings
CAUTION: Do not install the Nitrogen Generator or Air Compressor Package in an area where ammonia,
sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, chlorides, chlorine, oxides of nitrogen, acid
fumes, solvent vent vapors, and ozone vapors or similar contaminates exist. The equipment
can be damaged by ammonia and other vapors shortening membrane life.
WARNING: Do not operate the Nitrogen Generation System if damaged during shipment, handling or use.
Damage could result in injury or property damage.
WARNING: Operation of the nitrogen membrane above the rated design pressure could be hazardous.
Do not connect the nitrogen generation equipment to compressed air sources that can exceed
the maximum rated pressure without installing pressure controls and safety relief devices in
the compressed air supply line.
WARNING: Specific procedures must be developed for maintenance and servicing of the equipment
where the nitrogen membrane is located. Appropriate labels must be continuously displayed
in all areas where personnel might be exposed to a nitrogen atmosphere under normal and
abnormal conditions.
WARNING: Nitrogen is nontoxic and largely inert. Rapid release of nitrogen gas into an enclosed space
displaces the oxygen and can cause an asphyxiation hazard.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Warnings
1. Nitrogen Generator includes 120-240VAC 50/60 Hz voltage inside cabinet. Exercise caution and
do not touch any wiring connections when power is applied to the unit.
2. Nitrogen Generator has hot surfaces inside cabinet when nitrogen generator is operating and
after nitrogen generator has turned off. Exercise caution when working on nitrogen generator
while operating and after nitrogen generator has shut off. (Wear Hand Protection, where needed)
Lifting and Troubleshooting Instructions
Nitrogen Generators weigh in excess of 100 lbs (45 kg). When lifting and/or carrying a nitrogen generator
proper lifting a carrying techniques must be considered.
1. Keep a wide base of support. Feet should be shoulder-width apart with one knee slightly in front
of the other.
2. Squat down bending at hips and knees. If needed, one knee on the floor and other knee in front,
bent at a right angle.
3. Keep good posture. Look straight ahead with back straight, chest out, and shoulders back.
4. Slowly lift by straightening your hips and knees (not your back). Keep your back straight, and
don't twist as you lift.
5. Hold the load as close to body as possible.
6. Use feet to change direction. Small steps.
7. Lead with hips as changing direction. Keep shoulders in line with hips as you move.
8. Set load down carefully. Squatting with the knees and hips only.
