To minimize the possibility of filter element rup-
ture, it is important that ONLY replacement ele-
ments identified with the Sullair name, logo and
appropriate part numbers be used, and that sub-
stitute elements NOT be used, due to the fact that
such filters may have inadequate or questionable
working pressure ratings.
