3.1.1
STARTING YOUR LUBEMASTER

Check pump rotation and reverse if necessary, with phase rotation switch
–
be sure to stop
pumps before changing rotation.

Check that pressure rises immediately on start to approximately 100 psi.
•
Check that oil is flowing in the desired path and that BOTH 3 way valves are set correctly on
the suction and return
.
•
Check all hose connections for leaks.
•
Feel for rotor vibration in centrifuge and that speed is building.
