Anti-bacterial/bacteria-removing filter
WARNING
Perform a periodic inspection once every six months
or less to check for any cracks, scratches, and other
damage to the plastic bowl and transparent housing.
If cracks, scratches or other deterioration are found,
they may cause damage. Please replace the bowl or
the product with a new one.
Check the plastic bowl periodically for contamination.
If parts are heavily contaminated or if transparency has
decreased, replace with a new bowl.
Use a diluted neutral household detergent to wash parts,
and then rinse well with clean water. Use of other agents
could result in breakage.
Removing the bowl
Stop the working fluid supply. Release the pressure
in the bowls completely and make sure that there is
no residual pressure before removing the bowls.
Remove air filter drain.
Components could malfunction if moisture flows
into the secondary side.
Do not disinfect or clean using alcohol. It may
deteriorate or damage the plastic part.
CAUTION
Anti-bacterial and bacteria removing effects lessen
when there are dirt or oil deposits in the filter element.

replacements. Contact CKD for maintenance details.
Do not modify the product.
WARNING
The chemical resistance of plastic parts is shown below.
Avoid using products in an atmosphere where chemicals are contained in working fluid or atmosphere, or where they could adhere to parts.
Use in the above state could lead to bowl damage and accidents.

Use/maintenance
Chemical resistance of plastic
Consult CKD when using in environments filled with the following chemicals.
Check whether the testing solutions, sealants and adhesives contain the following chemicals.
Main products of chemicals
Read instructions and precautions attached with the
product before use or maintenance. Wash your hands
before attaching new elements.
Drainage method
Drainage starts when the cock is turned in
the O direction, and the discharge stops
when the cock is turned in the S direction.
Tighten by hand in the S direction.
Plastic bowl
Removing the resin bowl
Latch
(Press down
and turn.)
Bowl guard
This filter cannot be flushed with air, water, etc., and reused.
When 1 year (6,000 hours) has passed or the pressure
drops to 0.1MPa, replace the element with a new one.
We ask that customers perform element replacement maintenance by themselves.
During element replacement, take consideration that
bacteria, foreign materials, or foreign matter deposits in
the primary side do not flow into the secondary side.
While operating, do to apply vibration, impact, or other external force from tube.
General applications
