Safety Warning

Hydraulic systems contain dangerous ﬂuids at high pressures and

temperatures. Installation, servicing and adjustment is only to be

performed by qualiﬁed personnel.

To secure optimum eﬃciency from your ACMU, we recommend

that you read and follow the instructions set out in this manual.

Do not tamper with this device.

Should you have any questions please contact MP Filtri UK.
