Setting the lubricator
With the machine running (typical operating status) 0.2 to
max. 1 drop/min. or 0.5 to 5 drops/1000 l air.
Checking the lubricator setting
Proceed as follows:
•
Check the service units with respect to condensate and
lubricator setting twice a week.
1. Ascertain the cylinder which is furthest from the lubrica-
tor.
2. Ascertain the valve terminal which controls this cylinder.
3. If applicable, remove the silencer at connection 3/5.
4. Hold a piece of white cardboard 10 cm in front of the ex-
haust bore.
5. Let the system operate for some time.
– There must be only a slight yellowish discolouring on
the cardboard. If oil drops out, then there is excessive
lubrication.
A further indication of excessive lubrication is the colouring
or the status of the exhaust silencers. A clear yellowish disco-
louring of the filter element or drops of oil on the silencers
indicate that the lubricator is set too high.
