Be sure to read this before handling. Refer to the back cover for Safety Instructions, “Handling Precautions for
SMC Products” and the Operation Manual for F.R.L. Precautions, http://www.smc.eu
Warning
1. Do not introduce air from the outlet side as this can damage the
bumper.
2. The standard bowl for the air fi lter, fi lter regulator, and lu-
bricator, as well as the sight dome for the lubricator are
made of polycarbonate. Do not use in an environment
where they are exposed to or come in contact with organic
solvents, chemicals, cutting oil, synthetic oil, alkali, and
thread lock solutions.
Maintenance
Caution
1. Use a check valve (Series AKM) to prevent back fl ow of the lu-
bricant when redirecting the air fl ow before the lubricator.
Warning
1. For the AL10-A/AL20-A type, replenish the lubricant after re-
leasing the inlet pressure. Lubrication cannot take place under
a pressurized condition.
2. Adjustment of the oil regulating valve for models from the
AL20-A to AL60-A should be carried out manually. Turning it
counterclockwise increases the dripping amount, and turning it
clockwise reduces the dripping amount. The use of tools etc.
can result in damage to the unit. From the fully closed posi-
tion, three rotations will bring it to the fully open position.
Do not rotate it any further than this. Note that the numbered
scale markings are guidelines for adjusting the position, and
not indicators of the dripping amount.
1. Check the dripping amount once a day. Drip failure can cause
damage to the components that need lubrication.
Mounting/Adjustment
1. When the bowl is installed on the AL30-A to AL60-A, install
them so that the lock button lines up to the groove of the front
(or the back) of the body to avoid drop or damage of the bowl.
Caution
Caution
When the above factors are present, or there is some doubt, use a metal bowl
for safety.
