INTRODUCTION ® Pyramid 8000 (8DM) Series compressed breathing air purifiers are designed to reduce the concentration of oil, moisture, particulates and carbon monoxide in the airstream. When applied at rated capacity and specified operating conditions as shown in Table III and properly main- tained, 8DM Series purifiers supply air that meets OSHA, Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and Compressed Gas Association (CGA) standards for compressed breathing air quality, as well as National Fire Pro

The instruction plate is firmly attached to the purifier for quick reference to important instructions. The plate does not replace the complete manuals supplied with the purifer. Do not remove or deface the plate. SAFETY 8DM Series purifiers are designed and constructed with safety as a prime consideration. Each purifier is pressure tested to 1½ times its maximum operating pressure. DANGER The following safety rules are crucial to en- sure safe purifier operation. Failure to follow these 9 impor
