3 Operation / Shutdown
Caution
Avoid frequent On/Off operation, which can cause troubles.
The auto drain used for the product has a structre that closes the valve with air pressure higher
than 0.15MPa. Therefore, until the pressure increase, air will be emitted form the drain outlet at
the begining of opening the IN side valve. Keep in mind that sometime the pressure cannot
increase enough with air compressor that has low dischage flow rate.
