  • Page 40: Detailed Safety Instructions

    Caution 1. In case that not all units generate vacuum at same time, the exhaust air of operating unit flows into the vacuum port of non-operating unit. If such exhaust air causes the problem, please consult with PISCO.
  • Page 41 Safety Rules for Use ■ Operating temperature range is 5-50℃ . Do not operate the product out of the temperature range. ■ Compressed air contains many kinds of drains such as water, oxidized oil, tar and other foreign substances. Dehumidify and improve the quality of air by using an after-cooler or a dryer, since those drains seriously impair the performance of the vacuum generator.
