WARNING: IF YOUR UNIT HAS A PLASTIC BOWL
1. DO NOT use plastic bowl units without a metal bowl guard installed.
Plastic bowl units are sold only with metal bowl guards to minimize
the danger of flying fragments in the event of bowl failure.
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 pressure
higher than 150 psig (10 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 below.
Do not use near these materials.

5. If unit is equipped with plastic bowl, inspect daily 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 metal bowl guard.
6. Replace or clean the filter element periodically by removing from
filter, tapping on surface, and blowing off with air blow gun.
7. If unit is equipped with a manual petcock, drain bowl at least once
per work shift.
8. If unit is equipped with a float, clean the bowl each time the
element is cleaned or changed by turning the bowl upside down
and tapping onto tabletop. Blow clean with blow gun.
9. If unit will not regulate to required pressure, or if pressure
becomes excessive, follow instructions (see step 4) for removal of
valve. Remove valve and spring (Clean and check valve stem
and valve seat for wear or damage and replace if required.)
10. Before placing unit in service, make sure that bowl and bowl
guard are reinstalled and securely locked in place.

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.
