The Force Feed Lubricator provides oil to the piston rod packing and the compressor pis-
tons. The Lubricator Data Plate provides cycle time values and directions for adjusting the
pump stroke to control the flow rate of the lube oil and the cycle time. If this plate is missing,
please contact Ariel Corporation, Mount Vernon, Ohio for a replacement and specific direc-
tions.
NOTE: THE FORCE FEED LUBRICATOR BOX CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY
1/3 GALLON (1L) OF LUBRICANT. LUBE BOX OIL IS FOR LUBRICATING THE
INTERNAL PARTS OF THE BOX, AND NOT A SOURCE OF OIL FOR THE
FORCE FEED LUBE SYSTEM.

“Hot Surfaces”
“Cold Surfaces”
Where these CAUTION symbols appear on the compressor, the surfaces are hot or cold when compressor is
operating and can cause injury if touched without proper insulated protective clothing. If servicing the compressor,
allow these surfaces to cool or warm to safe temperatures or wear protective clothing before proceeding. When
applied to compressor cylinders, the temperature CAUTION applies to all connected piping and equipment.

Lubricator Data Plate cycle time values (seconds) are at
maximum rated speed. At reduced speeds, the cycle time
will increase. See Section 4 for calculating increased cycle
times for reduced speeds. If pump stroke/cycle time was
properly adjusted at maximum rated speed, little or no
adjustment should be required at reduced speeds.
