Oiler Flush Procedure
This procedure should be performed every 2-4
weeks, or if the liquid in the oiler is no longer clear.
The procedure flushes the internal mechanics and
cleans the system of debris.
The liquid in the oiler may not change color at all
–
It may change due to extensive heat or
temperature variances. The oiler flushing
procedure keeps the system clean for continued
use, whether or not the liquid in the oiler changes
color.
1) Fill Syringe with 200 proof Ethanol.
2) Use tapered compression tool to compress
lower half of plastic coupling, while pulling the
stem plug out of the coupling.
3) Insert nylon tubing into plastic coupling.
Attach other end of tubing to syringe filled with
Ethanol.
4) Open flush valve, insert second plastic tube
into fitting. Feed the other end of the tubing
into a jar or other collection vessel.
5) Apply force to the syringe plunger, which
should cause ethanol to flow from syringe into
oiler assembly
– ethanol should immediately
begin to flow out of the flush tube and into the
collection vessel. Flush until ethanol coming
out is clean, clear, and free of any settlement.
6) Close flush valve and reinstall plastic
coupling stem into oiler assembly.
