Warning
Perform maintenance inspections according to the procedure indicated in the Operation
Manual.
Incorrect handling of the product may cause breakage or malfunction of the equipment or
device.
Maintenance work
If handled improperly, compressed air can be dangerous. Assembly, handling, repair and
element replacement of pneumatic systems should be performed by a knowledgeable and
experienced person.
Removal of equipment, and supply/exhaust of compressed air.
When equipment is to be removed, first confirm that measures are in place to prevent losing
control of the equipment or workpieces from falling, etc. Then, shut off the supply air and
exhaust the compressed air in the system.
When machinery is restarted, turn off the power supply, stop the air supply and exhaust all
compressed air from the system.
If an error is generated, turn off the power supply and stop the compressed air supply.
If smoke, abnormal smells or noises are generated, there is a possibility of fire. In that case,
stop supplying the compressed air and reduce the pressure in the equipment to zero.
When maintenance of the auto drain is performed, or filter element is replaced, be sure
to reduce the compressed air to zero. Do not touch the high temperature section.
Using this product at a high temperature (40 to 60
o
C) may cause burns. Be sure to
confirm that the temperature of the container or operating part is reduced to 40 degrees
or less to prevent burns.
Element service indicator
Perform periodical check to find cracks, flaws or other deterioration. If any are seen, replace
with new parts and review the operating condition. Otherwise, a malfunction may occur.
Please consult SMC if the review of the operating conditions is not possible.
Caution
Replace the element with a new one when the replacement timing has come.
If an element is used even after exceeding the replacement timing, the outlet compressed air
cleanliness might be reduced or oil mist may leak out, which may damage the element.
<Element replacement timing>
When the element service indicator operates or 2 year after starting operation, whichever
comes first.
2. Be sure to exhaust the drainage that has accumulated in the filter.
Operation with condensate caught in the equipment or the piping may lead to operation
failure of the equipment, splashing from the outlet, and unexpected accidents.
Clean the bowl regularly.
Clean inside of the bowl with tepid water in which detergent is dissolved (25
o
C or less),
and eliminate foreign matter and oil.
If foreign matter or drain scale is accumulated, it
could cause operation failure of the auto drain, so please clean it regularly.
If necessary, remove the auto drain from the bowl before cleaning. Please refer to Auto drain
replacement on P14 for removal of the auto drain.
