The amount of lubricating oil added to the air by the lubricator unit is adjustable. This is via the small knob on
the top of the unit, as shown in the picture below.
The knob is la and -, this will either increase or decrease the amount of oil added to the air. The opti-
mum amount of added oil is
three (3) drops per minute
and oil is only added while the machine is in opera-
tion. The operator can observe the oil being added via the sight glass just below the knob. If more than three
(3) drops per minute is being added, turn the knob in the minus direction until the correct amount is added.
Turn the knob in the plus direction if less than three (3) drops per minute is added.
Note:
At the recommended oil drip rate of 3 drops per minute, oil will be seen dripping from the air exhaust
port of the motor. This is normal and is an indication that the system is getting sufficient lubrication.
