Glossary'
Become familiar with these terms before operating our products:
Air-Knife: Pressurized air that is rapidly leaking through a small hole or port (such as the
Pressure Vent Hole on the Regulator) that could act as a sharp knife and cut your finger.
Composite Pressure Vessel/Cylinder/Tank/Bottle: Terms used interchangeably to
mean a fiberglass wrapped or carbon-fiber wrapped cylinder with either an aluminum
liner or steel liner that holds pressurized gas i.e., air, nitrogen, helium, argon, etc.
Depressurize: To release leftover moisture and air pressure in the system after filling up
a Cylinder/Vessel/Bottle/Tank.
Fastener: A general term used for any type of fastener that shoots from a pneumatic tool.
Fill Adapter: An apparatus used to fill a Turanair System at a Dive Shop, Paintball
Field, or any other high pressure compressor that uses a CGA fitting.
Full Fill: When the Turanair System is refilled to its designated psi rating, i.e., 4500 psi
equivalent at 70°F (full capacity).
High Pressure Air (HPA): A general term for compressed air at pressures of 3000 psi
or greater.
Quick Connect Coupler: Used to connect two parts or products together so that
compressed air/gas can be transferred.
Rapid-Fill: Filling at greater than 600 psi / minute.
Under pressure or pressurized: Means the system is "ON" and/or there is compressed
air of some capacity in the Cylinder/Vessel/Bottle/Tank, hoses and/or Regulator.
Unraveling of Fibers: Means that the Cylinder/Vessel/Bottle/Tank has been extensively
damaged, and the fibers are unraveling from the exterior of the Cylinder / Vessel / Bottle
/ Tank. If this occurs, then you must IMMEDIATELY STOP USING THE
CYLINDER / VESSEL / BOTTLE / TANK. It must be inspected by a Hydro-Static
Testing Facility before it can be used again (See Bottle/Tank Maintenance.) If you use a
faulty Cylinder / Vessel / Bottle / Tank then you WILL RUN THE RISK OF
PROPERTY OR BODILY DAMAGE. (SEE WARNINGS)
Never cover any hole or port that is leaking
with your finger.

WARNINGS'
WARNING! Read the KOMPTEC
Instruction Manual. Read, understand
and follow the Safety and
Maintenance Instructions found in
these Manuals. Know the limitations
and hazards associated with the
Turanair System and all other
KOMPTEC products.
WARNING! POWER ON: Remember
the "power" is always ON when the
Turanair System is under pressure
and the low pressure gauge is set at a
psi higher than zero.
WARNING! DO NOT attempt to
modify or use any generic parts to
replace a broken part of the Regulator
or any other KOMPTEC product.
Remember that all parts are specified
to be used in accordance with "HighPressure" requirements. Any use of
generic parts could cause serious
bodily injuries. Please contact
KOMPTEC for parts and the proper
procedure to remove the broken part
and replace it with the new part.
(Some parts can only be changed by a
KOMPTEC representative.)
WARNING! The Hose and
Connectors were specifically chosen
for the Turanair System. Do not
attempt to change the hose, fittings, or
connectors unless they were
purchased from KOMPTEC.
WARNING! Never adjust the output
pressure above the ratings of the
output hose or the tool. Exceeding the
ratings of the output hose or the tool
could result in damage to those items.
WARNING! Never use Locktite or
any other adhesive product to try to
secure the Regulator in the Cylinder /
Vessels / Bottles / Tanks. This will
void your Warranty.
WARNING! Never under any
circumstances attempt to take apart
the Regulator or to separate the
Regulator from the cylinder. It will
void the Warranty.
WARNING! DO NOT put your finger
over any hole or product part that is
leaking. The air could act as an air
knife and instantly cut your finger.
WARNING! Rapidly filling a
Turanair System results in heating of
the compressed air and the Cylinder.
If filled too fast, this heat could
become excessive, resulting in
Using KOMPTEC products with respect and caution, will
considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury.
However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or
completely ignored, personal injury to operator can occur.

TURANAIR'SYSTEMS'SAFETY'PRECAUTIONS'
1. DO NOT TRY TO FILL THE Turanair System with a standard compressor
or any compressor that does not compress air up to 3000 PSI or higher (4500
psi recommended).
2. DO NOT REMOVE THE REGULATOR from the high pressure cylinder
under any circumstance
3. DO NOT ALTER OR CHANGE ANY FITTING on the Regulator.
4. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RATED PRESSURE OF THE TOOL.
Know and follow the recommendations of the tool, exceeding the maximum

6. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE ANY EXTERNAL PART on the
Regulator while under pressure.
USER GUIDE
Turanair K-150 Users Manual Page 8 of 24 v2.00
7. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONNECT THE REGULATOR to any other type
of cylinder (whether carbon fiber, steel, fiberglass, aluminum, etc.) other
than the KOMPTEC Cylinder that the Regulator came on.
8. ALWAYS DISCONNECT YOUR PNEUMATIC TOOL from your Turanair
System before doing any maintenance or clearing a jammed fastener on your
air tool.
9. ALWAYS LEAVE THE Turanair System in its protective pouch to help
eliminate unnecessary nicks and scratches that may occur on the surface of
the bottle/tank.
10. CHECK YOUR Turanair System REGULARLY for visual defects before
filling. NEVER use a bottle / tank that is leaking air, has missing or damaged
parts, visible signs of wear and tear, deep scratches or requires repair. (See
page titled, "Cylinder / Vessel / Bottle / Tank Visual Damage Evaluation")
11. NEVER FAST FILL OR "RAPID FILL" The Turanair System. Excessive
Cylinder heat due to "fast filling" could damage a cylinder.
12. NEVER USE TOOLS TO TIGHTEN OR LOOSEN the parts on the
Regulator. Always manipulate by hand. Do not over tighten.
13. DO NOT HABITUALLY EMPTY THE Turanair System because it will
gradually lessen the life span of the bottle/tank.
14. IT IS SAFE TO KEEP IN A CAR under most temperatures from 60°C to -
54°C / 140°F to -65°F. The most that would happen is the gauges or another
port would safely release the air. (See Regulator Repair & Maintenance if
this happens.)
15. ALWAYS ATTACH THE AIR TOOL TO THE AIR HOSE AFTER the air
hose has been connected to the Turanair system. NOT BEFORE!
16. DO NOT FILL THE Turanair System with a pneumatic tool attached.
17. DO NOT OPERATE THE TURANAIR SYSTEM IF THE CYLINDER
HYDROSTAT TESTING IS OUT OF DATE.
