•
Use only genuine IR replacement parts to assure compat-
ible pressure rating and performance.
•
Read carefully all warnings and safety precautions and
heed the following before operating, to avoid personal in-
jury and / or property damage.
•
Be certain anyone operating this equipment has been
trained to use it safely.
WARNING
COMPONENT RUPTURE. DO NOT EXCEED
MAXIMUM RATED OPERATING PRESSURE OF 150 p.s.i.
(10.3 bar). To avoid possible damage or personal injury, DO
NOT expose the unit to excessive pressure beyond the in-
tended working range.
WARNING
TEMPERATURE LIMITS. DO NOT EXCEED
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE LIMITS OF 125_ F (52_ C). Ex-
cessive temperature can affect non-metallic parts which may
weaken them and cause failure.
WARNING
USE WITH INDUSTRIAL COMPRESSED AIR
SYSTEMS ONLY. DO NOT USE WITH BOTTLED GAS
PRODUCTS OR FLUIDS. MISAPPLICATIONS CAN RE-
SULT IN COMPONENT FAILURE.
WARNING
DISASSEMBLY HAZARD. DO NOT DISAS-
SEMBLE THIS UNIT WHEN IT IS UNDER PRESSURE.
SHUT OFF AND RELIEVE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE AT-
TEMPTING SERVICE OR DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES.
Isolate the unit by closing the line valve or disconnect the sup-
INSTALLATION
•
Install filter with the air flow as indicated by the arrow on the
unit.
•
Install filter as close as possible to the air operated equipment
for best performance.
•
Filter must be installed with the bowl downward for proper op-
eration.
•
Locate the filter upstream from the regulator and lubricator.
OPERATING AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ply line or hose.
WARNING
BOWL REMOVAL HAZARD. THE BOWL
MUST BE SECURELY LOCKED INTO POSITION BEFORE
EXPOSING THE UNIT TO LINE PRESSURE. The bowls are
designed with a feature which inhibits removal while under
pressure. When reinstalling, push the bowl up into the body
and rotate to the right 1/8 turn. Failure to lock the bowl could
cause it to blow off, which could result in personal injury or
property damage.
WARNING
DO NOT use degreasers or solvents to clean
polycarbonate bowls. Clean polycarbonate bowls with soap
and water or kerosene only.
DO NOT expose polycarbonate bowls to: acetone, trichloroe-
thane, gasolene, alcohols, keytones, esters, chlorinated hy-
drocarbons, toluene, synthetic lubricants, direct sunlight,
impact blows, temperature outside rated range, pressure
over rated range, compressor oils containing fire resistant ad-
ditives such as phosphate esters or diesters. Exposure to
these substances can cause crazing, cracking or rupture.
Fumes of these substances, either internally or externally, can
also cause failure. USE COMPATIBLE LUBRICATING OILS
ONLY. Lubricating oils used with polycarbonate bowls must
be compatible. Some "fire resistant" oil additives are not com-
patible and can cause failure of the bowls.
For use in environments where any of these chemicals may
be present, consult the factory for approval prior to installa-
tion.
OPERATION
•
Monitor the sediment accumulation.
•
If the pressure drop across the filter becomes excessive,
empty the filter bowl, clean or replace the filter element to as-
sure good performance.
•
Clean the filter element periodically. Soak the filter bowl and
clean with soap and water. Refer to warnings concerning poly-
carbonate bowls.
MAINTENANCE
•
Filters with manual drain must be drained as frequently as
necessary to keep the liquid level below the baffle, which
could cause liquid to be carried downstream.
