The information on the product label must be observed. Non-observance of the data given there is regarded as
improper use. The lters are suitable for ltering compressed air and other non-ammable inert gases, such as
nitrogen.
3.1 Impermissible Applications
The ltration of liquids is not permitted. HX-Series lters must NEVER be used for ltration of explosive,
ammable, or noxious gases (including natural gas). Modications to HX-Series pressure vessels and
elements will endanger operational safety and may cause damage or personal injury and are not permitted.
4. Filter Installation and Maintenance Personnel
These operating instructions are intended for specialists charged with the installation, operation, and maintenance
of compressed air lters. Such persons must be trained in and have basic working knowledge of handling pressure
devises.
5. Safety Instructions
5.1 Hazard due to a sudden release of pressure!
Never remove any parts of the lter, or manipulate the lter in any way, as long as the lter is pressurized. A
sudden release of pressure may cause serious injuries. BE SURE TO DEPRESSURIZE THE FILTER before
carrying out any work on the lter. Verify that the housing has been depressurized using a gauge known to be
in good working order.
