LUBRICATOR DRIP RATE SETTINGS
NOTE
Pneumatically actuated devices require clean, pressure regulated, and lubricated air for maximum performance
and long life. The most effective and economical way to lubricate the FMCE is with an Air Line Lubricator,
which injects oil into the pressurized air, forcing an oil mist into the air chamber.
Locate the lubricator above and within ten feet of the FMCE, and use a low viscosity oil such as SAE-10.
Synthetic lubricants are not recommended.
NOTE
These settings are for Nexen supplied lubricators. If you are not using a Nexen lubricator, calibration must
replicate the following procedure.
