Air Lubricator Oil
Remove the air lubricator fill cap and fill the lubricator with oil. The
maximum oil level is indicated by a line on the reservoir. When you start the
pump, run it at a slow speed and adjust the lubricator to deliver one drop of
oil for every 10
−
15 cycles of the pump.
NOTE:
If high humidity causes icing of the air motor, you can replace the
lubricator oil with a pure anti-freeze solution, or heat the air supply. In all
cases, the air supply should be clean and dry.
Operation
WARNING:
Allow only qualified personnel to perform the following tasks.
Follow the safety instructions in this document and all other related
documentation.
WARNING:
The spray area must be adequately ventilated according to
local regulations. The operator should wear appropriate protective
breathing equipment at all times when spraying.
WARNING:
All conductive equipment in the spray area must be connected
to a true earth ground. Inspect all ground connections regularly.
Checking the System
Before starting the pump, make sure
S
the system components (such as the heater and filter) have been
installed according to the instructions in their manuals.
S
all fluid and air fittings and connections are tightened securely.
S
the air shutoff valve and the circulation and drain valves (if used) are
closed and the air regulator is set to zero pressure.
Filling the Solvent Chamber
See Figure 2. Remove the fill cap and fill the solvent chamber with solvent
fluid until fluid is visible approximately 1 cm (0.4 in.) below the vent opening.
The chamber holds approximately 50 ml (1.7 fl oz).
Adjusting the Air Lubricator
Adjust the lubricator to deliver one drop of oil for every 10
−
15 cycles of the
pump. Fill the lubricator daily before starting production. The maximum oil
level is indicated by a line on the reservoir. If high humidity causes icing of
the air motor, fill the lubricator with pure anti-freeze solution, or heat the air.
