The maximum permissible air pressure, 20 bar (e)
♦
(290 psi), must not be exceeded.
Blow any impurities out of the compressed air hose
♦
before connecting it to the lubricator.
For the BLG 30 a hose with a minimum internal
♦
diameter of 20-25 mm (
♦ There is a an arrow on the lubricator to indicate
the correct direction of air flow. When connecting
the lubricator, make sure that the arrow points in
the same direction as the air flow.

Lubrication

The lubricant is important for the pneumatic
machine's function and has a great impact on the
useful service life. To guarantee good lubrication,
the length of the air hose between the separate
lubricator and the pneumatic machine must not
exceed 3 meters.

For the correct recommended lubrication oil, refer to
the Safety and operating instruction for the pneumatic
machine used together with the lubricator.

Oil adjustment

BLG 30 is delivered with the oil dosage screw open
1 1 ⁄ turns. The oil dosage screw can be turned
2
through a total of six complete turns. It is steplessly
adjustable.
To adjust the oil dosage, do the following:
Remove the protective plug.
♦
Insert a screwdriver through the hole in the lock
♦
ring to the oil dosage screw, which has grooves
for the screwdriver.
Clockwise reduces oil flow.
Anticlockwise increases oil flow.
♦ Never unscrew or remove the lock ring. If the oil
dosage screw become loose, the lock ring will
prevent it from blowing out of the lubricator.
♦ Check the exhaust port of the pneumatic machine
to see that sufficent lubrication is being exhausted.
BLG 30 must only be used together with mineral oil.

Operation

Operating

Filling the lubricator with oil

Always top up the lubricator with oil at the start of
the shift.
Switch off the air supply to the lubricator.
♦
♦ Vent the air line, to remove trapped air.
♦ Clean around the outside of the filler plug to
prevent dirt from entering the lubricator.
♦ Unscrew the filler plug by two turns, which opens
the venting duct and release the remaining
compressed air in the lubricator.
♦ Fill the lubricator with a mineral based oil.
♦ Re-fit and tighten the filler plug. The lubricator is
now ready for use.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is a basic requirement for the
continued safe and efficient use of the lubricator.
Follow the maintenance instructions carefully.
Before starting maintenance on the lubricator,
♦
clean it in order to avoid exposure to hazardous
substances.
♦ Use only authorised parts. Any damage or
malfunction caused by the use of unauthorised
parts is not covered by warranty or product liability.
♦ When cleaning mechanical parts with solvent,
comply with appropriate health and safety
regulations and ensure there is satisfactory
ventilation.
♦ For major service to the lubricator, contact your
nearest authorised workshop.

Every day

Before undertaking any maintenance on the
lubricator, always switch off the air supply and then
disconnect the air hose from the lubricator.
Clean and inspect the lubricator and its functions
♦
each day before work commences.
Conduct a general inspection for leaks and
♦
damage.
Check that the claw couplings are tightened and
♦
free from damage.
