SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This manual contains important information that all users must know and understand before using the equipment. This
information relates to USER SAFETY and PREVENTINg EqUIPMENT PROBLEMS.
To help you recognize this information, we use the following terms to draw your attention to certain equipment labels and
portions of this manual. Please pay special attention to any label or information that is highlighted by one of these terms:
Note
Information that you should pay special
attention to.
Important information that tells how to
prevent damage to equipment, or how
to avoid a situation that might cause
minor injury.
Important information to alert you to a
situation that might cause serious injury
if instructions are not followed.
Risk of injury. Do not place unit in
service without metal bowl guard
installed. Filter units are sold only
with metal bowl guards. To minimize
the danger of flying fragments in the
event of plastic bowl failure, guard
must not be removed. If the unit is
in service without the metal bowl
guard installed, manufacturer’s war-
ranties are void and the manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for any
resulting loss. If unit has been in
service and does not have a metal
bowl guard, order one and install
before placing back in service.
Certain compressor oils, clean-
ing agents and solvents may
attack the plastic and rubber
components used in the con-
struction of this product. This
product should not be used in
conjunciton with or in the vicin-
ity of these materials. Read and
follow material labels carefully.
Please consult DeVilbiss if in
doubt.
INSTALLATION - AIR STATION
Risk of explosion and injury.
Release all air pressure from
system before servicing system.
Be sure to read and understand
all Service Bulletins on the
separate components before
using the system. Use only
specified DeVilbiss parts.
Risk of equipment damage!
Do not install your air station
where it is subjected to sudden
depressurization cycles exceed-
ing 20 PSIg. quick relieving air
solenoid valves, typical in some
spray booths, will eventually
fail pressure gauges and filters.
To minimize sudden depressurization ef-
fect, replace the existing solenoid with a
"slow closing solenoid valve". (One source:
Automatic Switch Co). Or, install an air
adjusting valve at the existing solenoid
valve outlet.
For ease of installation and maintenance,
attach the assembled air station to the main
air line using a pipe union, (not included).
1. Be sure to read all "Warnings" and
"Cautions" in this manual and compo-
nent manuals on the unit before instal-
lation or using this equipment.
2. Install air station system as close as
possible to the point where the air is
being used. Use enclosed mounting
bracket to support Air Station.
3. Install main air supply shut off valve
upstream of air drying system to
allow maintenance to the unit.
4. Install unit with air flow through filter
in direction of arrow on top of filters.
5. Minimum 3/4" NPT piping is recom-
mended. Avoid using fittings, cou-
plings, etc. that restrict air flow.
6. Maximum inlet pressure and operat-
ing temperature is: 150 PSIg and
120° F (48.9 C)
7. Three 6' lengths of vinyl tubing are
shipped loose with the system. Slide
over drains which protrude from bot-
tom of the filters. Place the other end of
vinyl tubing into appropriate re-
ceptacle. Prevent vinyl tubing from
becoming kinked which would prevent
free movement of liquids discharged
from the automatic or manual drain.
8. An optional manual drain HAF-11) can
be installed in place of the auto-
matic drains.
