CAUTION
Polycarbonate bowls, being transparent and tough, are ideal for use with
Filters and Lubricators. They are suitable for use in normal industrial
environments, but should not be located in areas where they could be subjected
to direct sunlight, an impact blow, nor temperatures outside of the rated
range. As with most plastics, some chemicals can cause damage.
Polycarbonate bowls should not be exposed to chlorinated hydrocarbons,
ketones, esters and certain alcohols. They should not be used in air systems
where compressors are lubricated with fire-resistant fluids such as phosphate
ester and di-ester types.
Metal bowls are recommended where ambient and/or media conditions are
not compatible with polycarbonate bowls. Metal bowls resist the action of
most such solvents, but should not be used where strong acids or bases are
present or in salt laden atmospheres. Consult the factory for specific
recommendations where these conditions exist.
TO CLEAN POLYCARBONATE BOWLS USE MILD SOAP AND WATER
ONLY! DO NOT use cleansing agents such as acetone, benzene, carbon
tetrachloride, gasoline, toluene, etc., which are damaging to this plastic.
Bowl guards are recommended for added protection of polycarbonate bowls where
chemical attack may occur.

w/Manual Drain

F55 Series Particulate Filter IS-F55
Installation
Before installing, blow out pipe line to remove scale and other
foreign matter. This unit has DRYSEAL pipe threads; use pipe
compound or tape sparingly to male threads only. Install units in
pipe line so that flow is in direction indicated by arrows on faces
of body. Install as near as possible to equipment being serviced.
Maintenance
To maintain maximum filtering efficiency, and to avoid excessive
pressure drop, the filter must be kept clean. On standard filters,
open drain cock (turn clockwise) periodically and drain off any
bowl accumulation before it reaches level of lower baffle. Bowl
drainage is automatic in the “Auto Drain” model; however, manual
draining can also be done. A visible coating of dirt or condensate
on the filter element surface, or an excessive pressure drop, is
an indication that cleaning is necessary.

Cleaning
To clean, it is not necessary to remove filter from the line.
Disassembly is simple and does not require tools. Use the
drawing on the reverse side of this sheet as a guide. Before
disassembly, shut off air supply and depressurize filter. Clean
all parts, except plastic bowl, with alcohol and blow out filter
body before reassembly. Wash filter element in alcohol and
blow out from the inside. Plastic bowls must be cleaned with
household soap only.
“Auto Drain” Operation
Auto Drain filters are equipped with a float actuated device
which automatically ejects liquid contaminants. If supplied in Kit
Form, Part No. RK602MD, the Auto Drain can be installed by
simply removing the bowl and then the bowl draincock. Insert
the Auto Drain in place of the removed draincock and reassemble
the unit in reverse order.
