Chapter 3 Operation Required tool and tightening torque • Flange nut M6 Tool: wrench Tightening torque: 7 ± 0.4 N·m Handling Precautions • If a tool comes into contact with the M4 thread when opening or closing the flange nut, the M4 thread may be damaged. In addition, coming into contact with damaged thread may result in injury.
Chapter 4 Maintenance Drain Water or oil can be drained from the drain bowl without removing it. (1) Make sure that air pressure is not being applied to the pressure regulator, and that there is no residual pressure in it. (2) Place sheeting or an empty container under the pressure regulator as protection against stains, etc.
Chapter 4 Maintenance Filter Maintenance Replace the filter regularly. In addition, replace the gasket as well when replacing the filter. (See Ordering Parts.) (1) Make sure that air pressure is not being applied to the pressure regulator, and that there is no residual pressure in it.
Chapter 4 Maintenance Storage • Store this device at normal room temperature and humidity (around 25°C and 65 % RH) in an indoor location not exposed to direct sunlight. • Avoid dusty or moldy locations, locations subject to condensation, and locations near heating equipment.
Chapter 4 Maintenance Other If this device fails, stop use and replace it with a new one. If there is a problem with a part other than the filter or gasket, replace this device as a whole instead of disassembling it. For corrosive atmospheres and instrumentation air containing ozone, a corrosion-resistant model is recommended.
