Safety instruction manual
Cautions
Warnings
1. Rust and foreign substances in a piping may cause damage, malfunction or performance drop of the product. Flushing before use and
periodic ushing of a piping are recommended. Flushing on a tting type lter shall be done with a stem or short cut tube inserted into a
tting. Sealing parts in the tting may y out of it.
2. Check the arrow▷(IN→OUT) marking on a lter before installing. Installation with a wrong direction does not fulll the lter performance.
3. Lock the bowl properly and make sure that there is no vacuum leakage after removing dust or replacing a lter element.
4. Keep dust particles or drain water in a bowl lower than “MAX. DRAIN LEVEL” marking on it. Airow may ing up the dust in the bowl,
causing a signicant reduction of the lter element lifetime.
5. Hold a hex. part on each port by a spanner wrench, when connecting a tting with male thread, to prevent co-rotation of each port. Refer
to the tightening torque in the Table-2.
Table-2. Tightening torque (Reference)
Thread type Thread size Tightening torque

thread
R3/8 12.5~14.5N·m
R1/2 20~22N·m
R3/4 30~35N·m
Parallel pipe
thread
G3/8 Follow the tightening torque of
male thread.
G1/2
G3/4
6. Install or x the product with its bowl facing down and vertically.
7. Re-torque the bracket xing screws periodically.
1. Avoid tensile strength or moment load on the product body and the tting cartridge. It may damage the product.
2. Carry out the maintenance of lter element periodically. There is a possibility of dropping the performance or causing troubles by clogging
of the lter element. Before replacing the lter element, make sure to read “How to remove the dust in bowl and replace a lter element”
carefully, release pressure and remain atmospheric pressure condition in the lter.
3. This product is not designed to be explosion-proof. Do not apply any positive pressure except momentary pressure for blow-off. It may
cause damage to the product and cause injury.
4. Bowl material is polycarbonate. Avoid chemicals or atmosphere with chemicals listed in the table-1 below.The bowl may get broken and
injure human body.

How to remove the dust in bowl and replace a lter element
①Turn the bowl to the arrowed direction (①-2)
while pushing down the lock clip(①-1).
Align the marking on lock clip to the one on body.
②Pull down the bowl to detach it from the body.
③Turn the deflector to the arrowed direction to align its OPEN▽marking to △marking on the bowl.
④Detach the deflector from the bowl and take out the filter element from the bowl.
⑤Take out the baffle from the filter element. (Only for replacement of filter element)
⑥Remove dust from the bowl and replace the filter element.
⑦Attach the baffle to the new filter element.
⑧Place the filter element vertically in the bowl and confirm that the O-ring is on the right position. Attach the deflector to the
bowl with its OPEN▽marking aligned with △marking on the bowl. Then turn the deflector to align its LOCK▽marking to △
marking on the bowl.
⑨Insert the bowl to the body with the marking on the lock clip aligned with the marking on the body. Turn the bowl until the lock
clip goes up and lock with a click.
