Notes on the compressor
CompAir screw compressors are the result of many
years of research and development. These prerequisi-
tes combined with high quality standards guarantee
the manufacture of screw compressors providing a
long service life, high reliability and cost-effective ope-
ration. It stands to reason that all requirements con-
cerning environmental protection are met.
The machine/unit must only be used in technically
perfect condition and in accordance with its intended
use and the instructions set out in the operating manu-
al, and only by safety-conscious persons who are fully
aware of the risks involved in operating the machine/
unit! Any functional defects, especially those affecting
the safety, have to be rectified immediately (or rectified
by others)!
The machine/unit is designed exclusively for the gen-
eration of compressed air to power air-driven devices.
Using the machine/unit for purposes other than those
mentioned above is considered contrary to its intended
use. The manufacturer/supplier cannot be held respon-
sible for damage resulting from such use. The risk of
such misuse lies solely with the user.
Operating the machine within the limits of its intended
use also involves observing the instructions set out in
the operating manual and complying with the inspec-
tion and maintenance directives.
Certificate of conformity
The compressor and its accessories as supplied by
CompAir conform to the basic safety and health requi-
rements included in the EC Machinery Directive 98/37/
EG. The compliance with applicable directives is confir-
med by the "CE mark" (fig. 1).
1.3
Maintenance
Carefully performed maintenance is imperative, this
ensures that your screw compressor can meet all the
requirements placed upon it. It is, therefore, indispen-
sable to adhere to prescribed servicing and mainte-
nance intervals and to carry out servicing and upkeep
thoroughly, especially in the case of harsh operating
conditions.

1.2
Intended use
The machine/unit has been constructed in accord-
ance with state-of-the-art technology and the recog-
nized safety regulations. Nevertheless, its use may
constitute a risk to life and limb of the user or third per-
sons or cause damage to the machine or to other mate-
rial property, if
