Hazard Alert Messages
Read and observe all Warning and Caution hazard alert messages in
this publication. They provide information that can help prevent
serious personal injury, damage to components, or both.
WARNING
To prevent serious eye injury, always wear safe eye protection
when you perform vehicle maintenance or service.
Remove all pressure from the air system before you
disconnect any component, including the desiccant cartridge.
Pressurized air can cause serious personal injury.
Park the vehicle on a level surface. Block the wheels to
prevent the vehicle from moving. Support the vehicle with
safety stands. Do not work under a vehicle supported only by
jacks. Jacks can slip and fall over. Serious personal injury and
damage to components can result.
NOTE:
The pressure protection elements are not serviceable on the
System Saver 1200 Plus with MCP. The entire air dryer needs to be
replaced if these parts are not operating effectively.
