Instructions
Step Action
1 This equipment can contain pressurised air and oil; be aware of its potential danger if
used improperly.
2 This equipment must only be used as compressed air/oil separator and must be
operated within the specified limits.
3 No alterations must be made to this equipment by welding, drilling, grinding or other
methods of mechanical working without written permission of the manufacturer. If there
is damage to a part under pressure from any cause, the complete part must be
replaced.
4 For the oil separator vessel: original bolts have to be used after opening for inside
inspection. The bolts must be removed and fitted with the correct tool. The bolts must be
tightened with a torque of 355 Nm (+/- 85 Nm). Damaged bolts must not be re-used. O-
rings must be replaced.
5 The safety valve is designed in such a way that the pressure will not permanently
exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure of the vessel, except for short
pressure surges up to 1.1 times the design pressure.
6 Only use oil specified by the manufacturer.
7 Make sure the vessel is fully depressurised before opening the drain plug or fill plug.
8 This vessel and other parts under pressure have been designed and built to guarantee
an operational lifetime in excess of 20 years and an infinite number of pressure load
cycles. A visual inspection (for damage, non-authorised alterations,...) of the vessel (at
the outside and inside) is recommended every 5 years. Make sure the vessel is fully
depressurised and isolated before carrying out an internal inspection.
9 At every inspection, also check the oil drain flexible. Replace if there is any wear or
damage.
