3  Safety instructions 

MAXIMATOR  compressors  are  manufactured  to  the  latest  state  of  the  art  and  are 
safe  to  operate.  However,  there  are  potential  hazards  in  case  of  inadvertent  wrong 
operation or wrong use: 

• 

For the health and lives of persons. 

• 

For the compressor and its accessory parts as well as other assets. 

• 

For the life cycle and the performance capacity of the compressors and its 
accessory parts. 

 
Operation,  maintenance  and  assembly  of  the  compressor  may  only  be  carried  by 
personnel who are familiar with working on pneumatic systems and are familiar with 
the hazards entailed by such systems. In addition, the operating instructions shall be 
thoroughly studied and adhered to. 

 

3.1  Usage to the intended purpose 

The  compressors  may  be  exclusively  used  with  those  media  for  which  they  are 
suitable  according  to  our  media  endurance  schedule.  Any  other  media  have  to  be 
tested by us for compatibility with the compressor materials prior to being used. The 
compressor drives are designed for compressed air up to 10 bar, other gases have to 
be tested by us for compatibility with the compressor materials prior to being used.  
 
Changes and modifications of the compressors are prohibited for safety reasons. 
 
All  maintenance,  assembly  and  operating  instructions  specified  in  these  operating 
instructions must be adhered to in order to guarantee full functioning and safety.  
 

3.2  Emission 

Expanding  compressed  air  is,  depending  on  the  specific  application,  prone  to 
generate a certain level of noise. Moreover, exhausting air from the silencer may be 
fouled with water and oil (grease). It is also possible that small ice crystals form at the 
silencer,  become  loose  and  fly  around.  This  is  why  persons  have  to  wear  goggles 
and, if need be, ear protection while in the vicinity of running compressors. 

 

3.3  Safety hazards 

During operation of the unit, both the drive part and the high-pressure part are under 
pressure.  Hence,  it  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  any  gas  that  may  leak  due  to  a 
defect  or  also  during  normal  operation  are  highly  pressurised  and  must  not  be 
contained or deviated by objects or body parts. It must be ensured that in case of a 
defect a compressor is immediately depressurised and repaired. 
 
Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out at depressurised units.
