The INQUA
Inhalator is designed exclusively for indoor use, it is
not intended to be used outdoors.
Follow these instructions regarding the installation location:
CAUTION: Risk of damage to the compressor due to
overheating and dust
The compressor is fitted with a fan to ensure that the motor is cooled
constantly. If the fan is not able to cool the motor sufficiently, the
motor may overheat and be damaged.
Only operate the compressor in locations with low dust contami-
nation and an adequate air supply. The ventilation slits of the
compressor must never be obstructed.
Never cover the compressor while it is in use.
Do not run the compressor on carpets or in very dusty environ-
ments, e.g. under the bed, in workshops etc.
Observe the ambient conditions specified in Section
"Environmental conditions for operation", page 39.
Do not operate the compressor in explosion-prone areas or in the
presence of oxidising gases (e.g., oxygen, nitrous oxide, flamm-
able anaesthetics), or in damp locations.
Protect the power cord from excessive heat and oil.
Do not operate the compressor close to flammable objects such
as curtains, tablecloths or paper.
Keep the compressor and the power cord away from hot surfaces
(e.g. cookers, radiators, open fires). These might damage the
compressor housing or the power cord insulation.
Keep the power cord away from household pets (e.g. rodents).
Animals may damage the insulation on the power cord.
Route the power cord in such a way that it does not present a trip-
ping hazard and people cannot become entangled in it.
Make sure that children are not able to pull the compressor down
by the power cord or connection tubing.
