DANGER!
Risk Of Death, Injury, Or Damage From Fire
Textiles, oil or petroleum substances, grease, greasy
substances and other combustibles are easily ignited
and burn with great intensity in oxygen enriched air and
when in contact with oxygen under pressure. To avoid
fire, death, injury or damage:
– DO NOT SMOKE while using this device.
– DO NOT use near OPEN FLAME or IGNITION
SOURCES.
– DO NOT use any lubricants on the compressor unless
recommended by Invacare.
– NO SMOKING signs should be prominently displayed.
– Avoid creation of any spark near oxygen equipment.
This includes sparks from static electricity created by
any type of friction.
– Keep all matches, lighted cigarettes or other sources
of ignition out of the room in which this compressor
is located and away from where oxygen is being
delivered.
– Keep the oxygen tubing, cord, and compressor out
from under such items as blankets, bed coverings,
chair cushions, clothing, and away from heated or hot
surfaces including space heaters, stoves, and similar
electrical appliances.
The compressor should be at least three inches (7.6 cm) away from
walls, draperies or furniture to ensure sufficient air flow.
Avoid placing the compressor next to heaters, radiators or hot air
registers.
DO NOT use in a closet.
