TARTING AND

ETTING
:
After installation of the automatic lubricators remove the switch cover by rotating the cover cap off, in the direction the arrow next to the word
“OPEN” indicates. With a pencil, slide
ONLY
the dip switch marked “12M” from the “OFF” position to the “ON” position. The 12M setting will
provide you with a 1-year supply of lubricant.
If a visual indicator of operation is desired then you can slide the switch marked “LITE” from the off position to the on position. This will activate
a LED light that will flash every 15 seconds and indicate that the unit is in operation and producing the required gas to displace the grease. It
will take about 10 days for the lubricant to begin to flow. Your turbine has been provided with pre-lubricated bearings to allow for this time lag.

UBRICATION
:
JE Adams provides automatic lubricators for all series blowers and exhausters equipped with 4 bolt flange bearing. The manufacturer of these
bearings has stated “a small amount of grease at frequent intervals is preferable to a large amount at infrequent intervals”. This is the preferred
method of lubrication, however automatic lubricators have to be replaced every 9-12 months, depending on use.
If lubricating manually is preferred (we do not recommend), install a zerk grease fitting where the automatic lubricators is screwed into the
elbow. The bearing should be greased at the interval outlined in the section below.
Do not mix greases!!
The JE Adams vacuum producer uses a proprietary Centron B grease
–
PLEASE CONTACT US!
Mixing grease types can cause the grease to break down due to chemical incompatibility and will result in rapid bearing failure.

FAILURE DUE TO THE USE OF INCORRECT GREASE IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR EQUIPMENT WARRANTY.
