NOTICE TO PRODUCT USERS
1. WARNING: FLUID MEDIA
AVENTICS pneumatic devices are designed and tested for use
with filtered, clean, dry, chemical free air at pressures and
temperatures within the specified limits of the device. For use
with media other than air or for human life support systems,
AVENTICS must be consulted. Hydraulic cylinders are designed
for operation with filtered, clean, petroleum based hydraulic fluid;
operation using fire-resistant or other special types of fluids may
require special packing and seals. Consult the factory.
2. WARNING: MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY
Damage to product seals or other parts caused by the use of
noncompatible lubricants, oil additives or synthetic lubricants in
the air system compressor or line lubrication devices voids
AVENTICS warranty and can result in product failure or other
malfunction. See lubrication recommendations below.
AIR LINE LUBRICANTS! In service higher than 18 cycles per
minute or with continuous flow of air through the device, an air
line lubricator is recommended.* (Do not use line lubrication with
vacuum products.) However, the lubricator must be maintained
since the oil will wash out the grease, and lack of lubrication will
greatly shorten the life expectancy. The oils used in the
lubricator must be compatible with the elastomers in the device.
The elastomers are normally BUNA-N, NEOPRENE, VITON,
SILICONE and HYTREL. AVENTICS recommends the use of
only petroleum based oils without synthetic additives, and with
an aniline point between 180° F and 210° F.
COMPRESSOR LUBRICANTS! All compressors (with the
exception of special "oil free" units) pass oil mist or vapor from
the internal crankcase lubricating system through to the
compressed air. Since even small amounts of non-compatible
lubricants can cause severe seal deterioration (which could
result in component and system failure) special care should be
taken in selecting compatible compressor lubricants.
3. WARNING: INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING
The user of these devices must conform to all applicable
electrical, mechanical, piping and other codes in the installation,
operation or repair of these devices.
INSTALLATION ! Do not attempt to install, operate or repair
these devices without proper training in the technique of working
on pneumatic or hydraulic systems and devices, unless under
trained supervision. Compressed air and hydraulic systems
contain high levels of stored energy. Do not attempt to connect,
disconnect or repair these products when a system is under
pressure. Always exhaust or drain the pressure from a system

LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES & REMEDIES

before performing any service work. Failure to do so can result
in serious personal injury.
MOUNTING! Devices should be mounted and positioned in such
a manner that they cannot be accidentally operated.
4. WARNING: APPLICATION AND USE OF PRODUCTS
The possibility does exist for any device or accessory to fail to
operate properly through misuse, wear or malfunction. The user
must consider these possibilities and should provide appropriate
safe guards in the application or system design to prevent
personal injury or property damage in the event of a malfunction.
5. WARNING: CONVERSION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
When a device is disassembled for conversion to a different
configuration, maintenance or repair, the device must be tested
for leakage and proper operation after being reassembled and
prior to installation.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR! Maintenance periods should be
scheduled in accordance with frequency of use and working
conditions. All AVENTICS products should provide a minimum of
1,000,000 cycles of maintenance free service when used and
lubricated as recommended. However, these products should be
visually inspected for defects and given an "in system" operating
performance and leakage test once a year. Where devices
require a major repair as a result of the one million cycles, one
year, or routine inspection, the device must be disassembled,
cleaned, inspected, parts replaced as required, rebuilt and
tested for leakage and proper operation prior to installation. See
individual catalogs for specific cycle life estimates.
6. PRODUCT CHANGES
Product changes including specifications, features, designs and
availability are subject to change at any time without notice. For
critical dimensions or specifications, contact factory.
*Many AVENTICS pneumatic valves and cylinders can operate
with or without air line lubrication; see individual sales catalogs
for details.
