Mist Oil Lubrication
Spindle housing mist oilers require syslube lubricant, available through KVAL.
Optimum flow is 3 to 5 drops per minute @ 5-10 psi.
NOTE: These oils cannot be interchanged.
Priming the Lubricator
New and used machinery run out of oil from time to time. It is a good practice to
check your machine lubricator to insure that it is putting the proper dose of oil in the
air lines. Usually 4 drops of oil every 3 cycles is a good rule of thumb.
To prime the lubricator, find an air line on the Front Section of the machine that is
energized, and disconnect it, allowing the air stream to bleed air pressure away from
any persons. Direct the air stream at the machine so you can see when there is an oily
film blowing out of the air hose. Repeat this same procedure for the back section and
other trouble areas.
Check the lines every week to two weeks
