The Right Way To Finish~
HFRL-508 60 CFM Filter-Regulator
HAF-502 100 CFM Filter
2. Install filter as close as possible to point where air is
being used. Install main air shut-off valve and standard
pipe union (supplied by user) upstream of filter to allow
maintenance to unit.
3. Install unit with air flow through filter in direction of
arrow on top of unit.
4. Minimum 112" piping is recommended. Avoid using
fittings, couplings, etc. that restrict air flow.
5. The filter includes a 112" elbow which allows vertical
pipe installation. Mount filter in a vertical position.
6. Do not install filter in an application where the pressure
drop will exceed 20 psi. For example, a quick opening
valve located upstream from the filter could cause a
momentary pressure drop in excess of 20 psi.
7. Install "T" handle into regulator (Model HFRL-508).
8. Maximum inlet pressure and operating temperature is:
150 PSIG (10.3 bar) and 1500 F (65.6° C).
9. A 6' length of vinyl tubing isshippedloosewith the unit. Slide
over automatic drain which protrudes from bottom of bowl.
Place other end of vinyl tubing into appropriate receptacle
(i.e. below booth grating, can, etc.). Prevent vinyl tubing
from becoming kinked which would prevent free movement
of liquids discharged from the automatic drain.
10. An optional manual drain (HAF-11) is supplied loose in the
carton (see item 10, Fig. 2). If desired, this can be installed
in place of the automatic drain.-

Risk of personal injury.
Risk of property damage.
Except as otherwise specified by the manufacturer. this
product is specifically designed for compressed air
service and use with any other fluid (liquid or gasl is a
misapplication. For example, use with or injection of
certain hazardous gases in the system (such as oxygen
or liquid petroleum gas) could be harmful to the unit or
result in a combustible condition that may cause fire or
exploSion. Manufacturer's warranties are void in the
event of misapplication and manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for any resulting loSS.
DESCRIPTIDN
1. Attach air hose(s) to outlet ball valve(s), selecting regulated
and/or non-regulation according to the application.
2. Open main shut-off valve upstream of filter .
3. Main line air pressure is monitored by the top air gauge.
4. Adjust regulator to desired setting by turning "T" handle in or
out.
;. Open ball valve(s) to supply air to spray gun or tool being
used. With air flowing, readjust air pressure at regulator if
necessary.
6. After use, shut off ball valve(s) and bleed off residual air in
hose(s).

pipe scale and most liquid aerosol. It includes a 5 micron filter
element. A model with 50 CFM air regulator is also available
(Model HFRL-508).

INSTALLATION ~Im I WARNING I
~ I I
Risk of injury. Release all air pressure from system
before servicing system. Do not place unit in service
without metal bowl guard installed. Plastic bowl units
are sold only with metal bowl guards. To minimize the
danger of flying fragments in the event of plastic bowl
failure. guard must not be removed. If the unit is in
service without the metal bowl guard installed.
manufacturer's warranties are void and the manufac-
turer assumes no responsibility for a resulting loss. If
unit has been in service and does not have a metal bowl
guard. order one and install before placing back in
service.

Certain solvents, paints and chemicals may attack
plastic bowl and can cause bowl failure. Do not use
near thes~ materials. When bowl becomes dirty, wipe
only with a clean. dry cloth. Immediately replace any
crazed, cracked, damaged or deteriorated plastic bowl
with a new plastic bowl. Reinstall metal bowl guard.

If bowl is equipped with manual drain, drain bowl at least
once per shift. Units with automatic drain will drain automati-
cally.
Before performing maintenance on unit, close main shut-off
valve located upstream of filter. Bleed off residual air in unit.
To open filter, press button located on clamp ring and rotate
ring either clockwise or counterclockwise. The metal bowl
guard and plastic bowl can then be removed from the filter
head.
Remove the filter element by loosening the baffle counter-
clockwise. Clean or replace the filter element. The element
can be cleaned by blowing off with a duster gun {clean from
inside out). Frequency of element cleaning/replacement will
depend upon air quality, air usage, and condition of the air
piping. It is recommended to check and clean/replace the
element every 3-6 months.

Certain solvents. paints and chemicals may attack plas-
tic bowl and can cause bowl failure. Do not use near
these materials.
Be sure to read all "WARNINGS" and "Cautions" in this
manual and on the unit before installation or using this
equipment.
