INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ALIGN™ MULTI-GAS GENERATOR
Do not install and operate this equipment until the safety information and instructions in this user guide have
been read and understood by all personnel concerned.
USER RESPONSIBILITY:
FAILURE OR IMPROPER SELECTION OR IMPROPER USE OF THE PRODUCTS DESCRIBED HEREIN
OR RELATED ITEMS CAN CAUSE DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND VOID
THE SAFTEY CERTIFICATION.
This document and other information from Parker Hannin Corporation, its subsidiaries and authorized dis-
tributors provide product or system options for further investigation by users having technical expertise.
The user, through its own analysis and testing, is solely responsible for making the nal selection of the
system and components and assuring that all performance, endurance, maintenance, safety and warning
requirements of the application are met. The user must analyze all aspects of the application, follow appli-
cable industry standards, and follow the information concerning the product in the current product catalogue
and in any other materials provided from Parker or its subsidiaries or authorized distributors.
To the extent that Parker or its subsidiaries or authorized distributors provide component or system options
based upon data or specications provided by the user, the user is responsible for determining that such
data and specications are suitable and sufcient for all applications and reasonably foreseeable uses of
the components or systems.
Only competent personnel trained, qualied, and approved by Parker Hannin should perform installation,
start-up, service and repair procedures.
This equipment is for indoor use only. Do not operate outdoors.
Nitrogen is nontoxic and largely inert. It can act as a simple asphyxiant by displacing oxygen in air. Inhala-
tion of nitrogen in excessive concentrations can result in unconsciousness without any warning symptoms
such as dizziness and fatigue.
The generator should be installed in an area with adequate ventilation to reduce the ammability of the oxy-
gen-rich permeate stream. The system should not be installed in an area where the permeate stream poses
the risk of explosion or combustion.
Use of the equipment in a manner not specied within this user guide may result in an unplanned release of
pressure, which may cause serious personal injury or damage.
When handling, installing, or operating this equipment, personnel must employ safe engineering practices
and observe all related regulations, health & safety procedures, and legal requirements for safety.
Never place liquids on top of the generator.
Do not store anything on top of the generator.
Never sit or climb on top of the generator.
Ensure casters are locked before starting up the generator.
Ensure that the equipment is depressurized and electrically isolated, prior to carrying out any of the sched-
uled maintenance instructions specied within this user guide.

Parker Hannin cannot anticipate every possible circumstance which may represent a potential hazard.
The warnings in this manual cover the most known potential hazards, but cannot be all-inclusive. If the
user employs an operating procedure, item of equipment or a method of working which is not specically
recommended by Parker Hannin the user must ensure that the equipment will not be damaged or become
hazardous to persons or property.
Most accidents that occur during the operation and maintenance of machinery are the result of failure to
observe basic safety rules and procedures. Accidents can be avoided by recognizing that any machinery is
potentially hazardous.
Note: Any interference with the calibration warning labels will invalidate the gas generator’s warranty and
may incur costs for the recalibration of the gas generator.
Should you require an extended warranty, tailored service contracts or training on this equipment, or any
other equipment within the Parker Hannin range, please contact your local Parker Hannin ofce. Details
of your nearest Parker Hannin sales ofce can be found at www.parker.com/labgas.

Foam
Unlock Casters
Ramp Pin
Inserts
The generator is shipped with internal brackets to prevent damage during transit. To access these brack-
ets, remove the front and rear panels of the generator using a medium Philips screwdriver. The rear panel
screws are covered by caps that can be removed using a small flathead screwdriver. Next, locate and
remove the yellow brackets from the generator by removing the four securing bolts with a 9/16’’
