Cleaning the Bowl
The regulator is equipped with a filter that becomes filled with drainage (moisture and dust) over time. When a certain amount of drainage collects, it drains automatically from the drain hose, but dirt remains inside the bowl ().
In the following situations, remove the bowl from the regulator and clean the bowl.
- When drainage remains in the bowl.
- When the inside of the bowl is dirty.
Be sure to bleed off the air pressure before removing the regulator bowl.
Failure to do so may result in a rupture or components flying off.
Before removing or attaching the regulator and before performing maintenance, make sure that the bowl is securely attached.
If the bowl is not properly attached, it may come flying off when compressed air is supplied.
Clean the regulator bowl using a neutral detergent. Never use solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, or thinner.
Using solvents may degrade the bowl and may result in a rupture.
