Loosen set screw on reservoir assembly. Remove reservoir
and put aside (Fig. 2).
2.
Verify that there are no contaminants or noticeable particles
in the CLOSED SYSTEM or bearing housing.
3.
Tighten supplied plug in side or bottom fluid port, sealant is
not necessary on plug. If using side fluid port to connect
CLOSED SYSTEM to the bearing housing, tighten plug in
bottom fluid port. If using bottom fluid port to connect
CLOSED SYSTEM to the bearing housing, tighten plug in
side fluid port (Fig. 2).
4.
Apply pipe thread sealant to a 1/8"NPT x 1/4"OD male
connector and tighten it into the vent port on the CLOSED
SYSTEM.
6.
Apply pipe thread sealant to a 1/8"NPT x 1/4"OD male
connector and tighten it into the vent port on the bearing
housing.
7.
Connect a section of 1/4"O.D. copper or nylon tubing to the
1/8" NPT connectors. This will serve as the vent line (fig. 3).
8.
Fill the bearing chamber through the main body of the
CLOSED SYSTEM until it reaches just below the optimum
fluid level visible in the sight. Use the reservoir to feed oil
to the proper level.
10.
Place thumb over reservoir spout, invert, and insert the spout
into the main body of CLOSED SYSTEM until upper casting
bottoms out on the collar.
12.
Oil may drain out of the reservoir and into bearing housing.
Secure set screws on upper casting.
13.
Start up machine and verify proper oil level is being
maintained.

DO NOT install or remove the CLOSED SYSTEM with or by use of the reservoir assembly.
DO NOT use the CLOSED SYSTEM for stepping, standing, or heavy loading as these actions could
cause a change in oil level settings and may cause leaks.
DO remove the reservoir from the CLOSED SYSTEM during installation and removal.
DO use the bottom fluid port if oil level is set at the lowest level for optimal oil feeding.
Apply pipe thread sealant to both ends of a 1/4" NPT male
nipple. Tighten nipple in remaining fluid port and bearing
housing. If bottom fluid port is remaining, an elbow may need
to be used. The CLOSED SYSTEM should be parallel to the
bearing housing in a vertical position within ±1º (Fig. 3).
5.
Prior to installing the CLOSED SYSTEM, shaft rotation direction must be determined, typically
indicated by an arrow on the casting of the equipment. Install oiler on the side of the equipment
facing the direction of shaft rotation to prevent misfeeding of the oiler (see Fig 1).
1.
Using a funnel, fill the reservoir.
