7. Periodically inspect the oil level within the air line lubricator. This unit is
located just upstream of the air inlet on the hydraulic pump inside the
Consistometer cabinet. You can access it by opening the cabinet doors
on the back of the unit. If the oil level is low, refill it with mineral oil.
The lubricator has been adjusted at the factory. Under normal opera-
tion, one drop of oil should be discharged into the air stream every 12
to 20 pump strokes. This discharge can be observed through the clear
control needle on top of the lubricator. If adjustment is necessary, turn
the hex screw on top of the control needle until you observe normal dis-
charge. Rotate the screw clockwise to decrease the oil flow rate and
counter clockwise to increase it.
