Intended Use
• Combination filter regulator unit for permanent installation
in compressed air lines, to remove foreign matter from the
compressed air, and for setting the air pressure accurately
using the integrated pressure gauge
WARNING: This filter does not produce breathing grade
compressed air!
WARNING: Some water vapour will pass through this unit and
could condense into liquid form downstream, as air temperature
drops. Install an air dryer if water condensation could have a
detrimental effect on the application.
Unpacking Your Device
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise
yourself with all its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good
condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such
parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
Installation
Note: DO NOT install this filter regulator in locations where it
would be permanently exposed to direct sunlight.
1. Install the Mounting Bracket (2) on a wall, machine housing
or other even surface using two suitable screws (mounting
hardware not included). The Drain Valve (7) must be located
at the bottom of the unit
2. Attach the mounting bracket and Mounting Bracket Locking
Ring (1) as shown in the ‘Product Familiarisation’ image
above. Turn the locking ring clockwise to tighten the thread
3. Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of
the Pressure Gauge (4). This will help to maintain an air tight
seal
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it
does not come off when the thread is screwed into the tool.
4. Screw the pressure gauge clockwise into the threaded
hole of the regulator body as shown in the ‘Product
Familiarisation’ image above.
Note: Be careful not to cross the threads. Turn gently at first.
Ensure that the dial is correctly positioned when tightening the
pressure gauge.
Additional Safety Instructions for
Pneumatic Devices
Air under pressure can cause severe injury:
• Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and
disconnect tool from air supply when not in use, before
changing accessories or when making repairs
• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for
damaged or loose hoses and fittings
• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used,
lock pins should be installed and whipcheck safety cables
should be used to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or
hose-to-hose connection failure
• Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool
• Never carry an air tool by the hose
