Auxiliary Oil Mist Generator Start-Up
Use of the auxiliary oil mist generator is made possible by following only a few simple steps.
1) Check the reservoir oil level and fill if necessary. A manual fill port is located on the side of the reservoir
for filling. While filling, monitor the oil level in the oil level sight gauge. The reservoir should be filled to
approximately 2/3 full.
2) Turn OFF the electrical power to the main oil mist generator
a) The electrical power switch is located in the mechanical compartment. Separate power switches are
provided for the main and auxiliary oil mist generators. The main oil mist generator switch is located
on the left side. Move the switch to the OFF position.
3) Turn OFF the air supply to the main oil mist generator.
a) Adjust the air pressure regulator to the closed position. Turning the adjustment knob on the air
pressure regulator in the full counter clockwise position places it in the closed position. The mist
pressure will bleed to zero.
b) Close the air supply block valve to the main oil mist generator.
4) Turn ON the air supply to the auxiliary oil mist generator and adjust the mist pressure. The air supply
block valve must be in the open position. Turning the air pressure regulator adjustment knob makes
adjustments to the mist pressure. Turning the knob in the clock-wise direction increases mist pressure.
NOTICE:
The main oil mist generator may be allowed to continue to operate
while the auxiliary oil mist generator is allowed to fill. If the main unit
is allowed to operate, place the air pressure regulator for the auxiliary
oil mist generator in the closed or full counter-clock wise position prior
to opening the supply air valve. Failure to do so may result in a high
mist pressure condition
Do not overfill the auxiliary oil mist generator
reservoir. An air space must be maintained above
the oil level for mist generation and flow between
the mist generator and the mist outlet. If your
system includes auto drain legs allowance must
be made to collect the return oil volume.
In case of oil spillage, the user or other
responsible body must ensure appropriate
cleanup and decontamination is carried out.
Reference CLEANING AND DECONTAMINATION in
the ROUTINE MAINTENANCE section of this
manual.
NOTICE:
The mist outlet valve to the auxiliary oil mist generator should be
opened prior to filling the reservoir. This will allow the air volume in
the reservoir to vent through the mist outlet as the oil fills the
reservoir space. Also ensure that the reservoir drain valve is closed
and the plug secure
