WARNING: IF YOUR UNIT HAS A PLASTIC BOWL:
1.
DO NOT use plastic bowl units without a bowl guard installed.* Plastic
bowl units are sold only with bowl guards to minimize the danger of flying
fragments in the event of bowl failure. If this unit is in service without a
bowl guard installed, manufacturer's warranties are void, and the
manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any resulting loss. (*EXCEPT
M00 MODEL)
2. DO NOT install the unit where it will be subjected to temperatures higher
than 125°F (52°C).
3. DO NOT install the unit where it will be subjected to pressures higher
than 150 psig (10.3 bar).
4. CAUTION: Certain compressor oils, household cleaners, chemicals,
solvents, paints and fumes will attack plastic bowls and can cause
plastic bowl failure. See manufacturer's list shown elsewhere on this
sheet.
5.
WHEN BOWL becomes dirty replace bowl or wipe only with a clean, dry
cloth.
6.
DO NOT install on a compressed air line where the compressor is
lubricated with, or the air contains, a material that will attack plastic bowls.
7.
DO inspect plastic bowls to detect crazing, cracking, damage or other
deterioration. Immediately replace any crazed, cracked, damaged or
deteriorated bowl with a metal bowl or a new plastic bowl and bowl guard.
8. IF A UNIT HAS BEEN IN SERVICE AND DOES NOT HAVE A BOWL
GUARD, ORDER ANOTHER ONE AND INSTALL BEFORE PLACING
BACK IN SERVICE.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
MICROALESCER® FILTERS (TYPE C)
1. DO NOT install the unit until you have read this entire product
information sheet. If your unit has a plastic bowl, note the special
warning information listed above.
2.
EXCEPT as otherwise specified by manufacturer, this product is
specifically designed for compressed air service, and use with any other
fluid (liquid or gas) is a misapplication. For example, use with or injection
of certain hazardous liquids or gases in the system (such as alcohol or
liquid petroleum gas) could be harmful to the unit or result in a
combustible condition or hazardous external leakage. Before using with
fluids other than air, or for non-industrial applications, or for life support
systems, consult manufacturer for written approval. Manufacturer's

WARNING
To avoid unpredictable system behavior that can cause personal injury
and property damage:
• Disconnect electrical supply (when necessary) before installation,
servicing, or conversion.
• Disconnect air supply and depressurize all air lines connected to
this product before installation, servicing, or conversion.
• Operate within the manufacturer’s specified pressure, temperature,
and other conditions listed in these instructions.
• Medium must be moisture-free if ambient temperature is below
freezing.
• Service according to procedures listed in these instructions.
• Installation, service, and conversion of these products must be
performed by knowledgeable personnel who understand how
pneumatic products are to be applied.
• After installation, servicing, or conversion, air and electrical supplies
(when necessary) should be connected and the product tested for
proper function and leakage. If audible leakage is present, or the
product does not operate properly, do not put into use.
• Warnings and specifications on the product should not be covered
by paint, etc. If masking is not possible, contact your local
representative for replacement labels.

CAUTION
Polycarbonate bowls, being transparent and tough, are ideal for use with
Filters and Lubricators. They are suitable for use in normal industrial
environments, but should not be located in areas where they could be subjected
to direct sunlight, an impact blow, nor temperatures outside of the rated
range. As with most plastics, some chemicals can cause damage.
Polycarbonate bowls should not be exposed to chlorinated hydrocarbons,
ketones, esters and certain alcohols. They should not be used in air systems
where compressors are lubricated with fire-resistant fluids such as phosphate
ester and di-ester types.
Metal bowls are recommended where ambient and/or media conditions are
not compatible with polycarbonate bowls. Metal bowls resist the action of
most such solvents, but should not be used where strong acids or bases are
present or in salt laden atmospheres. Consult the factory for specific
recommendations where these conditions exist.
TO CLEAN POLYCARBONATE BOWLS USE MILD SOAP AND WATER
ONLY! DO NOT use cleansing agents such as acetone, benzene, carbon
tetrachloride, gasoline, toluene, etc., which are damaging to this plastic.
Bowl guards are recommended for added protection of polycarbonate bowls where
chemical attack may occur.
