Installation requirements
Air quality
• For optimum performance and maximum product life we recommend the
use of compressed air with a maximum dew point of +10°C (50°F). We also
recommend to install an Atlas Copco refrigeration type air dryer.
• Use a separate air filter which removes solid particles larger than 30 mi-
crons and more than 90% of liquid water. Install the filter as close as possi-
ble to the product and prior to any other air preparation units to avoid pres-
sure drop.
Make sure that the hose and couplings are clean and free from dust before
connecting to the tool.
Both lubricated and lubrication free products will benefit from a small
quantity of oil supplied from a lubricator.
