    Never use air or a gas containing oxygen during leak tests to purge lines or to pressurise a machine. Pressurised air Consult Carrier Service for this type of test. Carrier mentions here only the principle of a test without removing the pressure switch: mixtures or gases containing oxygen can be the cause of an explosion.
