Manual oil flow switch

in automatic

position (solenoid-controlled)

Drip verification peephole

Oil inlet

Oil outlet

Internal solenoid

Note

: For the switch position

shown below, the valve is
always open (independent of
the solenoid).

Figure 8: Dripmaster EDD-4C Needle Valve Assembly

The internal solenoid is powered by the Dripmaster power source. When powered up, the solenoid
allows oil flow. When powered down, the solenoid blocks oil flow.

To allow oil flow when the Dripmaster is not powered on, turn the manual oil flow switch to the right
90 degrees.
