Low pressure breathing air compressors supply air for low pressure constant flow type respirators only. Oilless com-
pressors produce no oil mist, oil vapor, or carbon monoxide (CO). High temperature alarms and oil/water filters are not
required as they are with conventional air compressors. Breathing air compressors do not significantly change the air
quality of the ambient air and are not designed to filter carbon monoxide or other toxic gases. An optional carbon monox-
ide monitor is available where required. Clean breathable air must be provided to the breathing air compressor inlet at all
times. Note: Tight fitting constant flow respirators require 4 cfm (115 lpm) minimum flow rate at the manufacturer's stated
pressure. Loose fitting hoods require at least 6 cfm (170 lpm) per respirator.

1. Do not use kerosene or any oil based solvents for cleaning these compressors.
2. Do not lubricate oilless breathing air compressors.
3. Do not run these air compressors in the wrong rotation; check the rotation arrow on the compressor if you are rewiring
the electric motor. Disconnect the power source before servicing the electric motor.
4. Do not run this compressor without connecting at least one hose and respirator to the manifold quick disconnect
assembly.
5. Compressors must be used with constant flow, low pressure respirators only. Pressure demand respirators will NOT
operate on this compressor.
6. The breathing air compressor units can not be operated in an area that is Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health
(IDLH).
7. The air inlet to the breathing air compressor must be located in a clean air environment where breathable air can be
assured at all times. Up to 150 ft. (46 m) of extension tubing can be used to remote the intake snorkel. Contact the
factory for assistance in determining the proper size tubing for remote intake setup.
8. Vortex tubes require high pressure air, 60 - 100psi (4,1 - 6,9 bar), and will not operate on these breathing air
compressor systems. Use Air Systems' Cool-Box™ for air cooling; order Model BACB-196LP.
9. Pump surfaces can become very hot during operation. Do not touch these surfaces until the unit has been shut off
and allowed to cool.
