WARNING
!
EXCEPT as otherwise specified by the manufacturer, this product is specifically designed for compressed
air service, and use with any other fluid (liquid or gas) is a misapplication. For example, use with or injection
of certain hazardous liquids or gases in the system (such as alcohol or liquid petroleum gas) could be
harmful to the unit or result in a combustible condition or hazardous external leakage. Manufacturer's
warranties are void in the event of misapplication, and manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any
resulting loss. Before using with fluids other than compressed air, or for nonindustrial applications, or for life
support systems consult manufacturer for written approval.
ATTENTION: Make sure bowl is fully inserted into body, and then fully turned to lock bowl in place before
applying air pressure to unit. When bowl is properly installed, the alignment markings on the bowl/bowlguard
assembly and the marks on the body will line up, indicating proper assembly. Failure to do so may cause air
pressure to blow bowl off of unit, resulting in serious personal injury or death.
INSTALLATION
1. Refer to WARNING prior to installation.
2. Install as close to the point of use as possible.
3. Unit must be installed with the flow in the direction of the flow arrow on
the body cover and with bowl down.
4. Avoid using reducing bushings, couplings, etc., whenever possible to
install this product. These devices restrict air flow and can affect
performance.
5. Maximum inlet pressure and temperatures for plastic bowl/bowl
guard assembly are as follows:
150 psig (10,3 bar)
125°F (51,7°C)
6. Use only clean, light machine oil, preferably SAE 10 or lighter.
7. This lubricator may be filled under pressure by opening the top fill port
slowly, allowing the pressure in the bowl to slowly vent to atmosphere.
After the pressure has bled off, the fill plug may be removed completely
and oil poured into the fill port. When the fill plug is removed, a small
amount of air will be venting from the fill port. This is to serve as an
audible signal denoting that the unit is if fact under pressure. If faster
filling is desired, slowly remove the fill plug to vent the bowl pressure to
atmosphere. Then remove the bowl/bowl guard assembly by pushing the
lock tab and turning the bowl assembly clockwise. Fill the bowl,
reposition the bowl O-ring seal on the bowl and reinstall the bowl. To
reinstall the bowl, insert the bowl into the body, push up and turn
counterclockwise until you see the lock tab engage. Now reinstall the fill
plug. The unit is ready for use.
8. To adjust and set oil delivery rate, the unit must be pressurized and air
must be flowing through the unit. Turn the transparent SIGHT DOME,
located on the top of the unit every counterclockwise to initiate oil
delivery. The rate of oil delivery depends on air flow rate. If flow
increases or decreases, the oil delivery rate will increase or decrease
proportionately. Turning the SIGHT DOME clockwise to limit stop will
stop all oil delivery.
MAINTENANCE
THIS UNIT MAY BE SERVICED WITHOUT REMOVING THE UNIT
FROM THE COMPRESSED AIR LINE.
1. To clean the bowl, slowly open and remove the fill plug located on the
top of the lubricator to vent bowl pressure to atmosphere. Push the lock
tab on the bowl assembly and turn clockwise to remove. Use a clean, dry
cloth to wipe inside of bowl. Inspect the filter located in the bottom of the
siphon tube assembly. Clean or replace the siphon tube assembly as
required.To reinstall the bowl, insure that the bowl seal O-ring is properly
installed on the bowl, insert the bowl into the body and push-up and turn
counterclockwise until the lock tab engages.
2. Before returning unit to service, insure that all seals have been
reinstalled or replaced and bowl is locked in position with drain properly
secured.
