General information Information regarding this manual The pneumatically driven air amplifier from MAXIMATOR is a self-reversing, oscillating pressure intensifier and is used to deliver and compress air and nitrogen without the use of oil. The drive fluid and compressed fluid are fed from the same supply line and are therefore identical in terms of pressure and fluid. These instructions apply to air amplifier models MPLV2/SPLV2/GPLV2 (in the sections below referred to as "compressor") and with a serial number of above 23000001. The provided general drawing is an integral part of these instructions...

Rating plate The rating plate is located on the pneumatic cylinder of the compressor and contains the following information:1: 1 Max. permitted operating pressure 2 Air amplifier 3 Type (specifications from the order code) 4 Maximum drive pressure 5 Minimum inlet pressure 6 Calendar week/year of manufac ture 7 Article number 8 Serial number 9 Gear ratio 10 Manufacturer contact information 11 Label according to applied guidelines 12 Operating temperature range 1 Individual compressors may have different rating plates, e.g. metal ones

Explanation of symbols DANGER This combination of symbol and signal word indicates a hazardous situation which - if not avoided - may lead to severe injuries or death. WARNING This combination of symbol and signal word indicates a potentially hazardous situation which - if not avoided - may lead to severe injuries or death. CAUTION This combination of symbol and signal word indicates a potentially hazardous situation which - if not avoided - may lead to light or minor injuries. NOTICE This combination of symbol and signal word indicates a potentially hazardous situation which - if not avoided...

List of abbreviations and formula signs used Abbreviation Tab. 1-2 Formula symbol Qualification of the personnel Only qualified personnel who are specialised and have been trained to do so must work on the air amplifier. Allowing unqualified personnel to work on the compressor or enter the danger zone creates hazards which could lead to death, severe injuries and significant property damage.

Safety and protection measures The following sections stipulate the residual risks associated with the product, even when used as intended. In order to reduce the risk of personal injuries and material damage, and to prevent hazardous situations, you must observe the safety information listed in this section and the warnings in all other sections of this manual. Personal protective equipment Personal protective equipment (in other sections also referred to as PPE) protects personnel from occupational safety and health hazards while at work. Wearing personal protective equipment may be required...

During assessment, check the following leak points: Tab. 2-2 leak point danger zone The hazards are primarily due to the high pressure and extreme temperatures of the operating fluid and/or the hazardous substances used. The system designer must determine detailed danger zones as part of his job and can use his special knowledge of high-pressure technology and the hazardous substances used in each case. Non obvious hazards Using asphyxiant operating fluids can lead to severe injuries or death by asphyxiation. Assess the risk for the equipment in the risk assessment. The following are some potential...

Residual risks Start-up and shut down There is no command device for safe shut-down (E-stop). This can lead to severe injuries or death. Assess the risk for the equipment in the risk assessment. Unexpected restart When restoring the pneumatic energy supply or in case of changes made to the operating parameters, the compressor may start accidentally. This can lead to severe injuries or death. Assess the risk for the equipment in the risk assessment. Risk of injury posed by noise The noise level emitted in the work area depends on the mounting and application. Assess the risk for the equipment...
