WARNING
Always follow the safety instructions provided in this manual. They are intended to prevent a hazardous situation
and / or equipment damage. Refer to Dynabrade's Pneumatic tool safety & operating guidelines. For additional
safety, be sure to observe ISO 4414 - General rules and safety requirements for systems and their components.

Important Installation, Operating, and Maintenance Instructions
Carefully read all instructions before operating or servicing any Dynabrade Accessories.
Installation Instructions:
Notice: Close the air line system by turning off the air pressure in the area where the FRL unit will be installed.
1. Be sure to select a proper site for the FRL unit by locating the area of the air line system that is as close to the actual work area as possible.
Note: This site should be free of direct sunlight, excessively high temperatures, and hazardous chemicals.
2. Mount the FRL unit, or individual units, in the air line system with the arrows on the unit pointed in the direction of the air flow within the air system. Failure to
do so can damage components(s).
3. How to reduce from the 1/2" NPT openings to 3/8"- If required, use the two reducer bushings shipped with this item. (See front page for further details).
4. Fill the oil bowl with air tool oil. Please see the section below on lubrication.
5. Open the air line system and check for leaks around the FRL unit.
Standard Operating Instructions:
Filter (Filtration)
1. If the water level exceeds the maximum limit on the filter bowl, drain the filter. This is done by rotating the silver nut on the bottom of the filter bowl
counterclockwise (left hand thread). Turn nut clockwise by hand to reseal bowl.
Regulator (Regulation)
Warning: Set the regulator while verifying the displayed values of the inlet and outlet pressure gauges. Turning the knob excessively can cause damage to the
internal parts. Pressure regulator knob should be adjusted by hand only. Do not use tools.
1. Regulation of air pressure is controlled by the knob found on the regulator portion of the FRL unit. The air pressure is measured by the gauge on the front.
2. To increase the air pressure, be sure to unlock the knob before adjusting. Pull the pressure regulator knob to unlock.
(You can visually verify this with the “orange mark” that appears in the gap). To decrease the air pressure, turn the knob
counterclockwise. Once the proper air pressure is established push the pressure regulator knob to lock. When the knob is
not easily locked, turn it left and right a little and then push it (when the knob is locked, the “orange mark,” i.e., the gap
will disappear).
3. Maximum operating air pressure is 150 PSIG.
Lubricator (Lubrication)
1. Oil fill port; An internal check valve allows oil to be added to the Lubricator oil reservoir bowl without shutting off the air supply and interruption to work operations.
2. Remove the fill cap plug by turning it counterclockwise.
3. Fill the bowl to the fill line with air tool oil. Use Dynabrade Air Lube 95842 or equivalent air tool oil (10W/NR).
4. Replace the fill plug by turning in clockwise.
5. After filling Lubricator bowl with oil, Oil Flow Adjustment Control, allows for easy, fast and accurate dispensing of oil.
6. Oil feed sight dome; Allows visible adjustment in the amount of dispensed oil (dropped) into the flow of compressed air.
7. Turn the sight dome valve clockwise to decrease oil drop rate and turn counterclockwise to increase oil drop rate. The higher the air flow (SCFM) rate, the
more the oil drop rate needs to be. With tool running, adjust to 1 drop per minute for each 20 SCFM of air flow. Flow rates for individual tools are supplied by
tool manufacture.
Maintenance Instructions:
Other than when adding oil to the lubricator, always turn off air pressure and discharge all air inside FRL unit before performing any maintenance procedures.
Filter:
1. Remove the filter bowl by sliding the silver lock button downward. Then rotate bowl clockwise or counterclockwise.
2. Remove filter module by visually noting the small locking feature visible through the view portion the top of the filter module.
The locking feature is a protrusion on the filter module and a groove in the metal bowl of the filter. Grip the filter module and
rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise such that the lock rotates out of the groove, rotate until you can see a wide clearance
notch completely fill the viewport then slide the filter module out of the metal bowl.
3. Inspect the filter assembly and check the amount of debris that may be collected on the filter cartridge itself. To remove filter element, rotate bottom of baffle
assembly counter clockwise quarter turn. Clean the filter with soap and water. If the filter is damaged or contains heavy debris, it must be replaced. Refer to
the parts breakdown for more information. Replace the element every 2 years or when the pressure drop becomes 15 PSIG (1 Bar), whichever comes first,
to prevent damage to the element.
4. Clean the filter bowl with soap and water. Replace bowl o-ring if damaged. Re-install bowl by rotating until the lock button locks into place.
Regulator:
1. No maintenance expected.
Lubricator:
1. Fill oil as required to fill line on bowl.
Products offered by Dynabrade should not be converted or otherwise altered from original design.

Safety Instructions

F.R.L. Unit Precautions 1
Be sure to read before handling
Design
Warning
1. The sight dome for the lubricator is made of polycarbonate.
Do not use in an environment where they are exposed to, or
come in contact with organic solvents, chemicals, cutting oil,
synthetic oil, alkali, and thread lock solutions.
2. Consult with Dynabrade, Inc. if the intended application calls for
absolutely zero leakage due to special atmospheric requirements,
or if the use of a fluid other than air is required.
3. Regulator and Filter-Regulator
Be sure to install a safety device to prevent damage of malfunction
of the outlet side components when the output pressure exceeds
the set pressure value.
Selection
Warning
1. The mineral grease used on internal sliding parts and seals may
run down to outlet side components.
2. Regulator and Filter-Regulator
a. Residual pressure release (outlet pressure release) is not
complete by releasing the inlet pressure. To release residual
pressure, select a model with a back flow mechanism. Using a
model without a back flow mechanism makes for inconsistent
residual pressure release (i.e. residual pressure may or may not
be released) depending on the operating conditions.
b. Contact Dynabrade, Inc. if air will not be consumed in the
system for a long period of time, or if the outlet side will be used
with a sealed circuit and a balanced circuit, as this may cause
the set pressure of the outside to fluctuate.
c. Set the regulating pressure range for the outlet pressure of the
regulator in a range that is 85% or less of the inlet pressure. If
set to above 85%, the outlet pressure will be easily affected by
fluctuations in the flow rate and inlet pressure and become
unstable.
d. A safety margin is calculated into the maximum regulating
pressure range appearing in the catalog’s specification table.
However, the outlet pressure may exceed the set pressure due
to a delay in the valve’s closing.
e. Contact Dynabrade, Inc. when a circuit requires the use of a
regulator having relief sensitivity with high precision and
setting accuracy.
3. Lubricator
a. Contact Dynabrade, Inc. when the lubricator is used in high
frequency operations, such as in a press.
b. Lubrication cannot be properly performed if the operating flow
rate is too low. Select proper size lubricator by referring to the
minimum dripping flow rate provided in this catalog.
c. Avoid the use of a lubricator that causes back flow as this may
cause damage to internal parts.
d. Use a check valve to prevent the lubricant from back flowing
when redirecting the piping on the side.

F.R.L. Unit Precautions 2
Be sure to read before handling
Mounting
Caution
1. To avoid reversed connections of the air inlet/outlet, make
connections after confirming the “IN/OUT” mark or arrows that
indicate the direction of air flow. Reversed connections can cause
malfunction.
2. Components with a bowl, e.g., air filter, filter regulator, lubricator,
must be installed vertically with the bowl downward so that faulty
drain discharge and dripping can be verified.
3. Ensure sufficient top, bottom, and front clearance for maintenance
and operation of each component. Refer to the dimensions section
for the minimum clearance for each component.
4. Regulator and Filter-Regulator
Be sure to unlock the knob before adjusting the pressure and to
lock it after the pressure is set.
5. When the bowl is installed on the air filter and/or lubricator, install
them so that the lock button lines up to the groove of the front
(or the back) of the body to avoid drop or damage of the bowl.
Adjustment
Warning
1. Regulator and Filter regulator
a. Set the regulator while verifying the displayed values of the inlet
and outlet pressure gauges. Turning the knob excessively can
cause damage to the internal parts.
b. Do not use a tool on the pressure regulator knob as this can
cause damage. It must be operated manually.
Caution
1. Regulator and Filter-Regulator
a. Be sure to check the inlet pressure before setting the outlet
pressure.
b. To set the pressure using the knob, turn the knob in the
direction that increases pressure and lock the knob after the
pressure is set. If this is done in the direction that decreases
pressure, the pressure may drop from the original set pressure.
Turning the knob clockwise increases the outlet pressure, and
turning it counterclockwise reduces the pressure.
Piping
Warning
1. To screw piping materials into components, tighten with a
recommended tightening torque while holding the female thread
side. If the minimum tightening torque is not observed, this can
cause a looseness and seal failure. On the other hand, excess
tightening torque can cause damage to the threads. Furthermore,
tightening without holding the female thread side can cause
damage due to the excess force that is applied directly to the
piping bracket.
Recommended tightening torque Unit: lb.-ft.
Connection Thread 3/8" 1/2"
Torque 16.2 to 17.7 20.6 to 22.1
* Alternatively tighten by hand, then tighten further approximately 1/6
turn using a tightening tool.
2. Avoid excessive torsional moment or bending moment other than
those caused by the equipment’s own weight as this can cause
damage. Support external piping separately.
3. Piping materials without flexibility such as steel tube piping are
prone to be affected by excess moment load and vibration from the
piping side. Use flexible tubing in between to avoid such an effect.

Lock Button

Maintenance
Warning
1. When disassembly or installation is required during the
maintenance, repair, or replacement of a device, be sure to follow
the instructions provided in the instruction manual or safety
instructions in this catalog.
2. Perform periodical inspections to detect any cracks, scratches, or
other deterioration of the transparent sight dome of the lubricator.
Replace sight dome when any kind of deterioration is found,
otherwise this can cause damage.
3. Perform periodical inspections to detect dirt on the air filter, filter
regulator, and lubricator or the sight dome of the lubricator. When
you find dirt on any of the above devices, clean with a mild
household cleanser. Do not use other cleaning agents, otherwise
this can cause damage.
4. Air Filter
a. Replace the element every 2 years or when the pressure drop
becomes 15 PSIG (1 Bar), whichever comes first, to prevent
damage to the element.
b. Release accumulated condensate periodically before it reaches
the maximum capacity. Condensate that flows out to the outlet
side can cause malfunctions.
Caution
1. Perform periodical inspections of the filter element and replace it
as necessary. Check the element whenever the outlet pressure
drops below normal or air does not flow smoothly during
operation.
2. Regulator and Filter-Regulator
Check the sliding part or seat of the internal valve when a setting
malfunction or relief leakage occurs and temporary or emergency
repairs need to be made.
3. Lubricator
Check the dripping amount once a day. Drip failure can cause
damage to the components being lubricated.
F.R.L. Unit Precautions 3
Be sure to read before handling
Piping
Caution
1. Lubricator
Try to avoid riser piping and branch lines as much as possible on
the outlet side, otherwise proper lubrication will be compromised.
Air Supply
Caution
1. When there is excessive condensate, install a device that
eliminates water such as a dryer or water separator (drain catch)
on the inlet side of the air filter.
