WARNINGS RELATING TO AIR SYSTEMS
1. All service piping to and from the compressor must take into account pressure, temperature,
vibration, corrosion and chemical resistance. Special attention should be given to the
compatibility of the lubricant used and the system piping and accessories.
2. Do not use plastic bowls on line filters without metal guards. Synthetic lubricants and the
additives used in mineral oils collected in the bowl can weaken the bowl materials causing
them to rupture. For greater reliability and safety, metal bowls should be used on any
pressurized system. Review of your plant air line system is recommended.
Do not use discharge air as breathing air. Severe injury or death will result. Consult a filtration
specialist for additional filtration and treatment equipment needed to meet health and safety
standards for breathing air.
