Important Installation, Operating, and Maintenance Instructions
Carefully read all instructions before operating or servicing any Dynabrade Accessories.
Installation Instructions:
Notice: Close the air line system by turning off the air pressure in the area where the FRL unit will be installed.
1. Be sure to select a proper site for the FRL unit by locating the area of the air line system that is as close to the actual work area as possible.
Note: This site should be free of direct sunlight, excessively high temperatures, and hazardous chemicals.
2. Mount the FRL unit, or individual units, in the air line system with the arrows on the unit pointed in the direction of the air flow within the air system. Failure to
do so can damage components(s).
3. How to reduce from the 1/2" NPT openings to 3/8"- If required, use the two reducer bushings shipped with this item. (See front page for further details).
4. Fill the oil bowl with air tool oil. Please see the section below on lubrication.
5. Open the air line system and check for leaks around the FRL unit.
Standard Operating Instructions:
Filter (Filtration)
1. If the water level exceeds the maximum limit on the filter bowl, drain the filter. This is done by rotating the silver nut on the bottom of the filter bowl
counterclockwise (left hand thread). Turn nut clockwise by hand to reseal bowl.
Regulator (Regulation)
Warning: Set the regulator while verifying the displayed values of the inlet and outlet pressure gauges. Turning the knob excessively can cause damage to the
internal parts. Pressure regulator knob should be adjusted by hand only. Do not use tools.
1. Regulation of air pressure is controlled by the knob found on the regulator portion of the FRL unit. The air pressure is measured by the gauge on the front.
2. To increase the air pressure, be sure to unlock the knob before adjusting. Pull the pressure regulator knob to unlock.
(You can visually verify this with the “orange mark” that appears in the gap). To decrease the air pressure, turn the knob
counterclockwise. Once the proper air pressure is established push the pressure regulator knob to lock. When the knob is
not easily locked, turn it left and right a little and then push it (when the knob is locked, the “orange mark,” i.e., the gap
will disappear).
3. Maximum operating air pressure is 150 PSIG.
Lubricator (Lubrication)
1. Oil fill port; An internal check valve allows oil to be added to the Lubricator oil reservoir bowl without shutting off the air supply and interruption to work operations.
2. Remove the fill cap plug by turning it counterclockwise.
3. Fill the bowl to the fill line with air tool oil. Use Dynabrade Air Lube 95842 or equivalent air tool oil (10W/NR).
4. Replace the fill plug by turning in clockwise.
5. After filling Lubricator bowl with oil, Oil Flow Adjustment Control, allows for easy, fast and accurate dispensing of oil.
6. Oil feed sight dome; Allows visible adjustment in the amount of dispensed oil (dropped) into the flow of compressed air.
7. Turn the sight dome valve clockwise to decrease oil drop rate and turn counterclockwise to increase oil drop rate. The higher the air flow (SCFM) rate, the
more the oil drop rate needs to be. With tool running, adjust to 1 drop per minute for each 20 SCFM of air flow. Flow rates for individual tools are supplied by
tool manufacture.
Maintenance Instructions:
Other than when adding oil to the lubricator, always turn off air pressure and discharge all air inside FRL unit before performing any maintenance procedures.
Filter:
1. Remove the filter bowl by sliding the silver lock button downward. Then rotate bowl clockwise or counterclockwise.
2. Remove filter module by visually noting the small locking feature visible through the view portion the top of the filter module.
The locking feature is a protrusion on the filter module and a groove in the metal bowl of the filter. Grip the filter module and
rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise such that the lock rotates out of the groove, rotate until you can see a wide clearance
notch completely fill the viewport then slide the filter module out of the metal bowl.
3. Inspect the filter assembly and check the amount of debris that may be collected on the filter cartridge itself. To remove filter element, rotate bottom of baffle
assembly counter clockwise quarter turn. Clean the filter with soap and water. If the filter is damaged or contains heavy debris, it must be replaced. Refer to
the parts breakdown for more information. Replace the element every 2 years or when the pressure drop becomes 15 PSIG (1 Bar), whichever comes first,
to prevent damage to the element.
4. Clean the filter bowl with soap and water. Replace bowl o-ring if damaged. Re-install bowl by rotating until the lock button locks into place.
Regulator:
1. No maintenance expected.
Lubricator:
1. Fill oil as required to fill line on bowl.
