compromised.
(10%)
1. Turn mist inspection valve. Visually inspect oil mist quality.
2. Check oil level in the mist tank. Confirm Low Oil Supply Level is displayed on the
controller. Verify that the operating oil level is in the normal operating range. Loss
of oil results in loss of oil mist production.
3. Press
Air Temp
key. Confirm air temperature is at control set point (120
F - 49
C).
If customer assigned values replace factory values: To check control setting press
key combination
Set
,
Air Temp
.
When finished, press the
Clear
key to return to
normal operating mode.
Note:
Decline in Air Temperature will cause the oil viscosity to increase resulting in
a decrease in mist production.
4. Confirm
mist
head
oil flow valve
has not been adjusted further than 3 turns.
See mist head adjustment screw locations below. Closing the oil flow valve
increases the oil mist output.
Note:
Excessive adjustment to this valve may compromise the oil mist heads
ability to produce quality oil mist.
5. Confirm
mist
head
air bypass valve
is not over adjusted.
Note:
Excessive adjustment to this valve may over dilute the oil mist with clean air.
Closing the air by-pass valve decreases dilution. Note that adjustments using the
air bypass valve vary mist pressure.
6. Check the oil suction screen for obstruction.
Switch to Auxiliary Unit. See instructions located on interior of
JD
cabinet door.
Locate the oil suction screen holder on the side of the mist head. Remove the
oil suction screen and clean thoroughly, reinstall when through.
Switch mist generation back to main oil mist generator.
