Catalog 9EM-TK-190-2 Safety Guidelines

Wilkerson maintains a policy of ongoing product development and improvement. We therefore reserve the right to change dimensions specification and design without notice.Do not place plastic bowl unit in service without bowl guard installed. If the unit has been in service and does not have a bowl guard, order one and install before placing back in service.

Warning: Use Limitations

Plastic bowl units are sold only with bowl guards with the exception to miniature units (C04, F00, L00, & M00). To minimize the danger of flying fragments in the event of plastic bowl failure, the bowl guards should not be removed. If the unit is in service without the bowl guard installed, manufacturer's warranties are void, and the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any resulting loss.

Some of the Materials that will Attack Polycarbonate Plastic Bowls

Wilkerson's warranties are void, and Wilkerson assumes no responsibility for any resulting cost, loss, injury or any other damages whatsoever, with respect to any plastic bowl unit for which a bowl guard is standard equipment if the unit is placed in service without the bowl guard and, except as otherwise specified in writing by Wilkerson, with respect to any Wilkerson products which are used in other than compressed air service. Specific warnings with respect to these and other use limitations appear elsewhere in this catalog.

Caution

Certain compressor oils, chemicals, household cleaners, solvents, paints and fumes will attack plastic bowls and can cause bowl failure. Do not use near these materials. When bowl becomes dirty replace bowl or wipe only with a clean, dry cloth. Reinstall bowl guard or buy and install a bowl guard. Immediately replace any crazed, cracked, damaged or deteriorated plastic bowl with a bowl or a new plastic bowl and bowl guard.
