2. Install a 100 mesh ‘Y’ strainer. A ‘Y’ strainer

installed before the relay valve will provide
protection to the valve and FELICIA
starter from contaminants that may have
accumulated in the air receiver. Fitting of
an inline ‘Y’ strainer (as described above)
is also required to ensure the FELICIA
starter is covered by our product warranty.

NOTICE
Ensure the inlet side of the ‘Y’ strainer faces
the receiver ie. the direction arrow points
away from the receiver.
