Warranty
L&W will uphold warranty claims made during a period of 1 months from the invoice date.
If the compressor was purchased from an official L&W dealer, the date on the dealer's invoice is
valid. Warranty claims can only be made on presentation of the original invoice.
Should verifiably defective parts have been delivered, we will decide to either replace the parts or
repair them. The resulting transport and assembly costs will be invoiced.
No reduction of the purchase price or changes to the contract can be made. The parts for which a
claim is being made should be kept safe by the purchaser and, when requested, sent to us at their
cost. Replaced parts become the property of L&W. If maintenance work is carried out without our
knowledge or permission by the purchaser or a third party, we are absolved from any liability for
warranty claims. As a matter of principle, warranty claims can only be made by the initial purchaser.

Scope of Delivery LW 200 B MC / 250 B MC
The MC Serie is the perfect solution for dive centers, ships, boats and places with limited space and
convince with a brand new and powerful compressor block.
An innovative characteristic based on the new Motion Link design allows a very slim design.
Customers can choose between two different models with a delivery rates of 200 l/min or 250 l/min.
These compressors are designed for a long lifetime and continuously operations, the ideal machine
for smaller stationary applications. Long maintenance intervals guarantee extremely low
maintenance costs.
With a small and handy frame these compressors are highly predestined for mobile breathing air
applications.

Unit customised Safety Notices
Organisational measures
• In addition to the instruction manual, observe and comply with universally valid legal and other
obligatory regulations regarding accident prevention and environment protection.
• In addition to the instruction manual, provide supplementary instructions for supervision and
monitoring duties taking into consideration exceptional factors e.g. with regard to organisation
of work, production, personnel employed.
• Supervise personnel’s work in accordance with the instruction manual, taking into account safety
and danger factors.
• Observe all safety and danger notices on the compressor and check readability and completen-
ess.
Safety Instructions Operation
• Take measures to ensure that the machine is only taken into operation under safe and functional
conditions. Only operate the compressor if all protective and safety equipment, e.g. detachable
protective equipment, are provided and in good working order.
• Check the compressor at least once per day for obvious damage and defects. Inform the respon-
sible department / person immediately if anything is not as is should be (including operation per-
formance). Shut down the machine immediately if necessary and lock it.
• In case of malfunction, stop the compressor immediately and lock it. Repair malfunctions imme-
diately.
• If there is a failure in the electric energy supply, shut the machine / unit down immediately.
• Ensure safe and environmentally friendly disposal of consumables and old parts.
• The stipulated hearing protectors must be worn.
• Soundproofing equipment on the compressor has to be activated in safety function during ope-
ration.
• When handling with fats, oils and other chemical agents, observe the note for the product-
related safety.

Maintenance Instructions
• Hoses have to be checked by the operator (pressure and visual inspection) at reasonable inter-
vals, even if no safety-related defects have been detected.
• Immediately repair any damage. Escaping compressed air can cause injury.
• Depressurise system and pressure lines before beginning repair work.
• Pressurised air lines must be laid and mounted by qualified personnel. Connections must not be
mixed up. Fittings, length and quality of the piping must correspond to requirements.
• Adjustment, maintenance and inspection activities and keep appointments, including informati-
on on replacement parts / equipment, prescribed in the operating instructions have to be respec-
ted.
• If the machine / equipment is completely off during maintenance and repair work, it must be
protected against unexpected restart. Turn off main control device and remove the key and/or
display a warning sign on the main switch.
• The machine and especially the connections and fittings should be cleaned from oil, fuel and
maintenance products at the beginning of the maintenance / repair. Do not use aggressive
cleaning agents. Use fibre-free cleaning cloths.
• Switch off compressor and clean with a slightly damp cloth. Remove dirt from cooling pipes by
using a brush.
• After cleaning, examine all pipes for leaks, loose connections, chafing and damage. Immediately
eliminate any faults.
• Always retighten any screw connections loosened for maintenance or repair work.
• If it is necessary to remove safety devices for maintenance and repair work, these must be re-
placed and checked immediately after completion of the maintenance or repair work.
• The electrical equipment of the compressor must be regularly checked. Defects, such as loose
screw connections or burnt wires, must be immediately rectified by electrically skilled personnel.
• Only personnel with particular knowledge and experience with pneumatics may carry out work
on pneumatic equipment.
• Only personnel with particular knowledge and experience in gas equipment may carry out work
on gas equipment.

Danger
Compressors with petrol or diesel motors must only be located outdoors, never indoors,
not even in partially closed rooms however large they may be.
No operation in explosion-hazard areas.
The unit is not approved for operation in areas prone to explosion.
!
Outdoor Installation
For outside installation observe the following:
• Install the unit horizontally and level. The floor must be vibration-free and capable of taking the
load of the system weight.
• On units employing petrol or diesel motors, it is most important that only clean air is used.
Position compressor in direction of wind so that exhaust fumes are blown away from the unit.
• Intake air must be free from noxious gas e.g. smoke, solvent vapours, exhaust fumes etc.
• Observe the specified operating temperature (see "Technical Data")!
