CAUTION
Polycarbonate bowls and sight domes, being transparent and tough, are
ideal for use with Filters and Lubricators. They are suitable for use in normal
industrial environments, but should not be located in areas where they could
be subjected to direct sunlight, an impact blow, nor temperatures outside of
the rated range. As with most plastics, some chemicals can cause damage.
Polycarbonate bowls and sight domes should not be exposed to chlorinated
hydrocarbons, ketones, esters and certain alcohols. They should not be used
in air systems where compressors are lubricated with fire-resistant fluids
such as phosphate ester and diester types.
Metal bowls are recommended where ambient and/or media conditions are
not compatible with polycarbonate bowls. Metal bowls resist the action of
most such solvents, but should not be used where strong acids or bases
are present or in salt laden atmospheres. Consult the factory for specific
recommendations where these conditions exist.
TO CLEAN POLYCARBONATE BOWLS USE MILD SOAP AND WATER
ONLY! DO NOT use cleansing agents such as acetone, benzene, carbon
tetrachloride, gasoline, toluene, etc., which are damaging to this plastic.

INSTALLATION
1. Refer to WARNINGS and CAUTIONS.
2. Purge downstream air line of oil.
3. Install the unit with the air flowing in the direction indicated by the
arrow on the body and / or the DP2 indicator.
4. The drain line connection is dependent on the type of drain that is
selected. The internal auto float drain has a 3/8" male connection. The
external drains require the 1/2" NPT or (BSP) drain plate and a 1/2"
NPT or (BSP) pipe nipple to connect the drain to the filter. The X01,
X02 and XB3 series of drains have a 1/8" NPT (BSP) female port to
connect a drain line to pipe away contaminants.
5. Maximum inlet pressure and operating temperature ratings are: units
with DP2 150 psig (10,3 bar) 150°F (66°C); units without DP2: 300
psig (20 bar) 150°F (66°C).
MAINTENANCE
1. TO CLEAN OR REPLACE FILTER ELEMENT: Shut off air supply
andreduce pressure in the unit to zero, remove the 8 screws from the
filterhousing, unscrew the filter support and remove filter element.
a. IF THE UNIT HAS A RIGID FILTER ELEMENT: remove and
clean period-ically by tapping on a hard surface, and blowing off
with air blow gun.Torque element support to 8 ±1 FT.-LB. when
replacing element. Element should be cleaned/replaced when
the DP2 pressure indicator iscompletely red or when the DP3
reads 7 psi (0,5 bar).
2. IF THE UNIT HAS A MANUAL DRAIN, DRAIN THE UNIT ONCE
EVERY 8 HOURS MINIMUM. If the unit is equipped with an external
automaticdrain clean the screen on top of the drain. Clean screen by
blowing it offwith an air blow gun.
3. When the bowl becomes dirty, clean by wiping with dry, clean
cloth.
4. Before placing the unit in service, make sure that the bowl is properly
reinstalled, and securely bolted in place using the noted torque
specifications.
