BREATHING AIR PRECAUTION
NorthStar air compressors are not designed, intended
or approved for breathing air. Compressed air should not
be used for breathing air applications unless treated in
accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.
Before signing the delivery receipt, inspect for damage
and missing parts. If damage or missing parts are
apparent, make the appropriate notation on the delivery
receipt, then sign the receipt. Immediately contact the
carrier for an inspection. All material must be held in the
receiving location for the carrier's inspection. Delivery
receipts that have been signed without a notation of
damage or missing parts are considered to be delivered
"clear." Subsequent claims are then considered to be
concealed damage claims. Settle damage claims directly
with the transportation company.
If you discover damage after receiving the air
compressor (concealed damage), the carrier must be
notified within 15 days of receipt and an inspection must
be requested by telephone with confirmation in writing.
On concealed damage claims, the burden of establishing
that the compressor was damaged in transit reverts back
to the claimant.
Read the compressor nameplate to verify it is the model
ordered, and read the motor nameplate to verify it is
compatible with your electrical conditions. Make sure
electrical enclosures and components are appropriate.
