Breathable Air Warning; General Safety - Campbell Hausfeld VT6195 Instructions D'utilisation

Important Safety Information (Continued)
This compressor/pump is not equipped and should not be used "as is" to supply breathing quality
air. For any application of air for human consumption, the air compressor/pump will need to be
fitted with suitable in-line safety and alarm equipment. This additional equipment is necessary to
properly filter and purify the air to meet minimal specifications for Grade D breathing as described in
Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification G 7.1, OSHA 29 CFR 1910. 134, and/or Canadian
Standards Associations (CSA).
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
In the event the compressor is used for the purpose of breathing air application and proper in-line
safety and alarm equipment is not simultaneously used, existing warranties shall be voided, and the
manufacturer disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss, personal injury or damage.
