Installation
1. Before installing air line components, blow out the
pipe line to remove debris. Be sure air to the regulator is clean. Erratic operation or loss of regulation is
usually caused by dirt in the regulator.
2. Install the Air Drying System as close as possible to
the equipment it serves.
Shop Air Piping Layout
3. Install air shut-off valve 288798 upstream from the
air system to isolate it for service.
4. Install system so air flows through filters in the direction noted on top of filter.
5. A minimum 1/2” npt piping is recommended. Avoid
using too many fittings, couplings, etc., which will
restrict air flow.

Operation
WARNING
Do not exceed the Maximum Incoming Air Pressure of
the equipment. Over pressurizing can cause component rupture and serious injury.
pressure drop across the element reaches 10-12 psi
(69-83 kPa, 0.7-0.8 bar), the red indicator will be in full
view, and the element should be replaced. Failure to
replace the element when the pressure drop exceeds 10
psi (69 kPa, 0.7 bar) will affect your air quality and tool
efficiency.
1. Attach air hose(s) to air regulator outlet valve
289165.
2. Open main shut-off valve 288798.
3. Turn the T-hand adjusting screw in or out to adjust
regulator to desired setting.
4. Open outlet valve 289165 to supply air to spray
guns or tool.
5. With air flowing, readjust air pressure regulator if
necessary.
6. Turn off unit when not in use. Follow Pressure
Relief Procedure, page 5.
Coalescer Pressure Drop Indicator
The differential pressure drop indicator provides early
detection of a clogged coalescing filter element. As the
filter element becomes clogged, the red indicator starts
to rise while air is flowing through the unit. When the
Automatic Drain
The automatic drain is equipped with a float actuated
device which automatically ejects liquid contaminates
under pressure.

Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
To avoid injury, relieve air and fluid pressure before
checking, cleaning, or repairing the equipment.
The following is a basic pressure relief procedure. Be
sure to follow the specific pressure relief procedure in
your spray gun and/or fluid supply equipment manuals.
1. Close the main air shut-off valve.
2. Trigger the gun or dispense valve and open any
drain valves to relieve pressure.
Maintenance
• Relieve the pressure before cleaning, checking
or repairing equipment. Follow Pressure
Relief Procedure, above.
• Check system at least once per shift to ensure
proper drainage.
Air Filter with Auto Drain 234402, Series B
To maintain maximum filtering efficiency and avoid
excessive pressure drop, the filter must be kept clean.
See Manual 309919 for cleaning and parts information.
Coalescer with Auto Drain 234397, Series B
It is recommended that Air Filter 234402 be
installed upstream of the coalescing filter to
remove 3 micron and larger size particles and separate large droplets of moisture from the air line.
CAUTION
Never let the liquid level in the bowl reach the base of
the coalescing element.
See Manual 309919 for operation, cleaning, and parts
information.
Air Regulator 234394
Be sure air to the regulator is clean. Erratic operation or
loss of regulation is usually caused by dirt in the regulator. See Manual 309924 for cleaning and parts information.
