- Maintenance of the air dryer should only be carried out by someone with sufficient knowledge and
experience of air dryers and related equipment.
- Before carrying out maintenance, the important warnings in this manual must be thoroughly read and
understood.
- When replacing or cleaning parts of the air dryer, be sure to remove the compressed air pressure inside the

switching off the air dryer’s illuminated light, there are also charging lines. When working on the charged
sections, be sure to switch off the earth leakage breaker installed before starting work.
- As some parts of the air dryer will remain hot, there is a risk of burns due to residual heat after the power is
switched off. So do not carry out replacement work until the temperature of these parts has fallen to 50
o

less. Wait for about 10 to 15 minutes as a guide.

drain fluid during work. Please follow the safety procedure for operators specified by customer. (Example:
