RECEIVING, MOVING, AND UNPACKING GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION A. RECEIVING PRESSURIZED DEVICES: This shipment has been thoroughly checked, packed and This equipment is a pressure containing inspected before leaving our plant. It was received in device. good condition by the carrier and was so acknowledged. • Do not exceed maximum operating pressure as shown on equipment Check for Visible Loss or Damage. If this shipment shows serial number tag. evidence of loss or damage at time of delivery to you, in- sist that a notation of this loss or damage be made on the • Make sure equipment is depressurized before working delivery receipt by the carrier’s agent. on or disassembling it for service.
IMPORTANT: READ PRIOR TO STARTING THIS EQUIPMENT 1.0 INSTALLATION 1.1 Location For typical placement in a compressed air system, see drawing. B. Air compressor intake – Locate air compressor so that Aftercooler Dryer contaminants potentially harmful to the dryer (e.g. ammo- nia) are not drawn into the air system. Compressor Oil Removal Separator C. Free Air Flow - Allow a minimum of 36 inches (914 mm) Filter clearance for free air flow. Service - To facilitate maintenance leave 36 inches (914 mm) of clearance in front of dryer. D. Standard units are designed to operate in ambients: Air-cooled: 40 to 110°F (4 to 43°C).

On all models, the three-way valve is mounted to the base pan. Review the following 1.3 Piping Connections for proper drain function: A. Air Inlet - Connect compressed air line from air source • Automatic Draining - Valve handle should be positioned to air inlet.
