2.  General safety

For your own safety, when carrying out work on this product, all relevant 

national safety regulations must be complied with relating to pressurized 

and breathing air systems. It is essential that a risk assessment is carried 

out prior to installation and use. See section 8.4 for guidance.

2.1.   Intended use of the Product

The Purifier is exclusively intended for the treatment of compressed air, which is free from 
bulk water, oil and solid matter constituents. 

The product should be located within a building and protected. The Purifier must be operat-

ed only in accordance with the data on the rating plate. Any operations that do not comply 

with those stated on the product rating label will render the warranty void.

This product is only designed to operate at pressures of between 80 - 232 

psig (5.5 - 16 barg).

It is not suitable for pressures in excess of 232 psig (16 barg).

No modifications must be made to the product. Any modifications may reduce the 

operational safety of the product and invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. This could 

potentially result in damage to the product rendering it unfit for its intended purpose and 

cause serious personal injury.

2.2.   Personnel

Only authorized, competent and trained personnel are permitted to work on this product. 

This user guide is intended solely for such personnel and is to be used only as a reference; 

it should not be used to replace conventional training.

2.3.   Safe Handling

Please ensure the relevant safe engineering practices and handling procedures are 

employed when handling, installing and operating this product.

 

Ensure that the equipment 

is depressurized prior to carrying out any of the scheduled maintenance according to 

instructions specified within this user guide.

A suitable lifting aid must be used to minimise the risk of physical injury or 

damage to the product

.

IMPORTANT: It is essential that the system into which the Purifier is 

installed is fitted with a pressure limiting/relief device. This device should 

be between the compressor and the Purifier. The device must be set to 

prevent the maximum working pressure from being exceeded.
