Basic Service 

Splash Shield 

is mounted to the teat belt cover, with the purpose of reducing the amount of 

chemical/water being flung upwards and back towards the operator.  If the splash shield is 
damaged or missing it needs to be replaced with a new one. 

NOTE

:  Make sure not to overtighten  

splash shield screws. 

 

 

 

 

 

Air Tool Oil 

is needed to help lubricate the air motor and prevent it from rusting and seizing up. 

 

Turn off air pressure to the prep station. 

 

To fill the lubricator unscrew the knurled brass knob on the top left side of the lubricator. 

 

Insert the funnel attached to the chain into the hole where the brass knob was. 

 

Then fill funnel with 3-IN-ONE air tool oil checking the glass window on the side of the 
lubricator until it is about 3/4 of the way up the window. 

 

Wipe off remaining oil from the funnel and any that might have been spilled. 

 

Lastly thread the brass knob back into the fill hole making sure not to cross thread the hole 
and only tighten “finger tight”. 

 

There is an oil flow adjustment knob on the top of the lubricator.  This should be set so there 
is one drop of oil going in every few minutes of running guns.
