Silverline Air Line Filter Regulator - Manual (Page 7)

Air supply connection
WARNING: Ensure that the air system is fully drained and the
compressor is switched off, before connecting the filter regulator.
WARNING: This filter regulator unit must not be used
with compressors that use lubricants containing aromatic
hydrocarbons. Such chemicals would damage and lead to failure
of the polycarbonate Condenser Bowl (6).
IMPORTANT: The arrows on the inlet/outlet ports indicate
direction of air flow. AIR FLOW IS FROM THE COMPRESSOR TO
THE TOOL.
WARNING: For use with motorised air tools an oiler unit must be
fitted downstream of this filter/regulator.
• Connect the filter regulator to the compressor feed, before the
oiler (see diagram below)
Note: For painting applications, e.g. when using spray guns, omit
the oiler
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated
(see “Specifications”)
• Ensure that water is drained from air system daily
• Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are
correctly rated for the air pressure to be used
Operation
WARNING: The Condenser Bowl (6) is manufactured from
polycarbonate and must not be exposed to temperatures above
50°C.
Before each use
• Inspect the unit and air hoses for wear or damage, and
replace if necessary. Do not use damaged or leaking hoses or
connections
Adjusting the air pressure
Note: Some air tools have built-in regulators, which are used to
control speed/torque performance. Where a machine does not
have a built-in regulator, the speed/torque can still be adjusted
by varying the pressure on your air supply regulator.
• INCREASE the air pressure by pulling the Pressure Control (3)
up to unlock it, then turning it clockwise. Push the pressure
control back down to lock it again
• DECREASE the pressure by unlocking the pressure control,
then turning it anticlockwise. Push down to lock it again
WARNING: For applications that require a very accurate air
pressure, confirm outlet pressure with a calibrated pressure
gauge.

Draining the condenser bowl
WARNING: Cleaning and draining MUST ONLY be carried out
with the compressor switched off and the air system drained of
pressure.
• The condenser will collect moisture and dirt which, unless
removed, will cause serious corrosion to this device and to
your machines
• Drain the Condenser Bowl (6) daily (or more often where
applicable) by pulling down on the Drain Valve (7) until all
liquid has escaped
Maintenance
WARNING: Always shut off the compressor and depressurise the
air supply before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance.
WARNING: The polycarbonate Condenser Bowl (6) can be
damaged and may fail if exposed to certain solvents or strong
alkaline cleaning agents (either internally or externally).
Cleaning
• Press the Bowl Unlock Button (5), twist the Condenser Bowl
(6) clockwise or anticlockwise until the bayonet connection
unlocks, and remove the bowl
• Wash out using a mild detergent and a lint-free cloth
• Rinse with plenty of clean cold fresh water and dry thoroughly
• To reassemble, first check that the O-ring that seals the bowl
against the body of the unit is clean and undamaged, then
engage the locking bayonet and twist the cup until the unlock
button clicks into its locked position
Disposal
• As with other power tools, air tools should not be disposed of
with household waste
• Air tools may contain traces of tool oil and other lubricants and
so must be recycled accordingly
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on
the correct way to dispose of power tools
