!
Safety instructions:
• Read installation instructions
Failure to comply can result in device failure,
system damage or personal injury.
• It is intended for use by persons having the
appropriate knowledge and
attempting to install the filter-drier make sure
pressure in system is brought to and remains at
atmospheric pressure.
• Do not release any refrigerant into the
atmosphere.
• Do not use on any other fluid media without
prior approval of Alco Controls. Use of fluids
not listed could result in chemical deterioration
of the desiccant in filter-drier.
• In a severely contaminated system, avoid
breathing acid vapours and avoid contact with
the skin from contaminated refrigerant /
lubricants. Failure to do so could result in skin
injury.
