This Air Dryer is installed downstream of the air compressor to remove moisture. The manufacturer
is not responsible for any misuses or misapplications.
This Air Dryer operates with high voltage and hot surfaces during operation. In addition, this air
dryer has high speed rotating fan and motor, which can cause serious injury upon accidental contact.

needs.
We strongly recommend that any one who is working with this air dryer need to read and understand
the instructions in this manual beforehand.
Often, it’s necessary for the people involved, to receive
training in order to address the issues of safety and proper application.
When short period power shortage (including instantly recovered shortage) is recovered, it may take a
longer starting period than usual starting or may not start due to the protective devices.
In this case, turn off the Switch with lamp on dryer panel and wait 3 minutes. After this step, turn on
the switch to restart. When the cover panel of this unit is open, the Switch with lamp must be in the
off position, because dryer may start itself when the power supply is recovered.
