WHAT CAN HAPPeN

HOW TO PreveNT iT

The compressed air directly from

your compressor is not safe for

breathing. The air stream may

contain carbon monoxide, toxic

vapors, or solid particles from the

air tank. Breathing these contami-

nants can cause serious injury or

death.

Air obtained directly from the com-

pressor should never be used to

supply air for human consumption.

In order to use air produced by this

compressor for breathing, suitable

filters and in-line safety equipment

must be properly installed. In-line

filters and safety equipment used

in conjunction with the compres-

sor must be capable of treating air

to all applicable local and federal

codes prior to human consump-

tion.
