Be sure to read before handing.
Selection
Products represented in this catalogue are designed for use in
compressed air applications only (including vacuum), unless
otherwise indicated. Do not use the products outside of their
designed parameters. Contact SMC when using the product
with fluids other than compressed air (including vacuum).
Installation
1. Do not install unless the safety instructions have
been read and understood.
Keep this catalogue on file for future reference.
2. Maintenance
When installing the product, allow for maintenance access.
3. Tightening torque
When installing the product, follow the torque specification.
Piping
1. Before piping
Before piping is connected, it should be thoroughly blown out
with air (flushing) or washed to remove chips, cutting oil and
other debris from inside the pipe.
2. Sealant tape
When installing piping or a fitting into a port, make sure that
the sealant material does not clog the pressure port. Leave
the first 1.5 to 2 thread turns exposed at the end of the pipe/
fitting when using sealant tape.
Air Supply
1. Operation fluid
Consult with SMC when using the product in applications
which use fluids other than compressed air (including
vacuum).
Regarding products for general fluids, consult with SMC
regarding applicable fluids.
2. Large amount of drainage.
Compressed air containing larger mount of drainage can
cause malfunction of pneumatic equipment.
Please installation of an air dryer and mist separator (Drain
Catch) before air filter.

3. Drain
If condensation in the air filter is not emptied on a regular
basis, condensation that flows to the outlet side can cause a
malfunction. If it is difficult to check and remove, installation of
a filter with an auto-drain function is recommended. Refer to
Best Pneumatics for details on compressed air quality.
4. Use clean air
Do not use compressed air which includes chemicals,
synthetic oils containing organic solvents, salt, or corrosive
gases, etc., as this can cause damage or malfunction.

Maintenance
1. Maintenance procedures are outlined in the
operation manual.
Failure to follow proper procedures can result in product
malfunction and or lead to damage to the equipment or
machine.
2. Maintenance
If handled improperly, compressed air can be dangerous.
Assembly, handling and repair of pneumatic systems should
only be performed by qualified personnel.
3. Drain
Remove condensation from the filter bowl on a regular basis.
4. Shut down before maintenance
Before attempting any kind of maintenance confirm that the
supply pressure is shut off and all residual air pressure is
released from the system to be worked on.
5. Start-up after maintenance
Apply operating pressure and power to the equipment, then
check for proper operation and possible air leaks. If operation
is abnormal, verify product set-up parameters.
6. Do not make any modification to the product.
