AIR VALVE OPERATION
APPLICATION OF HEAT:
This heat assisted air dryer is fitted with a pressure switch for safety and accident prevention. To
activate the heating element the airline must be switched on fully in the vertical position to provide
sufficient operating pressure.
AIRFLOW REGULATION:
The airflow may be regulated by adjusting the airline valve. If you are using the heating function
the pressure must be adjusted down once the heater is switched on as outlined above.
MINIMUM PRESSURE:
If the minimum air pressure is not achieved the unit will automatically switch off the heating
element.
SAFETY CUTOUT
This heat assisted air dryer has a built in safety thermal cutout. If the heating element becomes
too hot the heating element will be switched off until it has cooled. If the thermal cutout is
activated switch off the heating element power switch ensuring the airline is connected and
switched on fully. Allow 2-3 minutes before switching the heating element back on.
