7. Install the lubricator vertically with the bowl drain mechanism at the
bottom. Any free moisture will thus drain into the area at the bottom of the
bowl.
8. Fit the mounting bracket to a suitable support, situated in line with the
compressed air supply.
• Ensure sufficient free space above the lubricator for future access.
9. Fit the lubricator to the mounting bracket from below and secure with the
retaining ring.
• Note the arrow mark on the regulator body, indicating the direction
of air flow.
10. Remove the blanking plugs from the connection ports and connect to the
supply and delivery hoses.
11. Your lubricator is now ready for use.
FILLING AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Ensure that the pressure to the air inlet of the lubricator from air line does
not exceed the maximum pressure specified in the instructions.
2. Shut off inlet air pressure and reduce the inlet and outlet lines to zero.
Remove the bowl and fill with oil. Use good quality, light, misting type of oil
for air-powered tool/motor.
3. Fill the oil to the maximum fill line on the bowl. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Re-install the bowl and turn fully clockwise into the body before
pressurizing. Tighten hand-tight.
5. Turn on the air line system to obtain the required pressure to the lubricator.
6. Adjust the lubricator drip rate only when there is a constant rate of air flow
through the lubricator. Monitor the drip rate through the sight feed dome.
7. Determine the average rate of air flow through the lubricator. Turn the
slotted rotator in the sight feed dome to obtain the recommended drops
per minute. See Drip Rate Chart. Turn the rotator anti-clockwise to increase
the drip rate or clockwise to decrease the drip rate.
8. Monitor the device being lubricated for a few days following the above
drip rate adjustment and see how well the device works, then determine
whether the drip rate at the lubricator should be adjusted for higher or
lower level.
9. NEVER apply lubricated compressed air to run a spray gun, since paint
mixed with oil will spoil the finish of workpiece being sprayed.
