3. Connect pipes to the inlet and outlet ports using pipe thread sealant tape on male threads only.
When screwing pipes together, prevent ingress of shavings and sealant to the interior of the
unit. Contaminations in the unit may cause it to fail.
4. Make sure that all connections to the lubricator are tight and secure.
5. Push bowl, or bowl with guard, into the lubricator body and turn fully clockwise before
pressurizing.
6. The lubricator must be installed in such a way that no mechanical force or tension occurs.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (See Figure 2)
1. Ensure that the pressure to the air inlet of the lubricator from air line does not exceed the
maximum pressure specified in the instructions.
2. Remove the fill plug, add oil and re-install the fill plug, which can be done without shutting off air
pressure to the lubricator. Use good quality, light, misting type of oil for air-powered tool/motor.
3. Fill the oil to the maximum fill line on the transparent bowl, or oil level should always be visible in
the lens on metal bowl. DO NOT OVERFILL.
note: Oil fill plug seals easily. Tighten finger-tight only.
4. Turn on the air line system to obtain the required pressure to the lubricator.
5. Adjust the lubricator drip rate only when there is a constant rate of air flow through the lubricator.
Monitor drip rate through the sight feed dome.
6. Determine the average rate of air flow through the lubricator. Turn the slotted rotator in the sight
feed dome to obtain the recommended drops per minute. See Drip Rate Chart. Turn therotator
counterclockwise to increase the drip rate or clockwise to decrease the drip rate.
7. Monitor the device being lubricated for a few days following the above drip rate adjustment and
see how well the device works, then determine whether the drip rate at the lubricator should be
adjusted for higher or lower level.
8. NEVER apply lubricated compressed air to run a spray gun, since paint mixed with oil will spoil
the finish of workpiece being sprayed.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Steps
1
disassembly (See figure 2)
• Lubricator can be disassembled without removal from air line.
• Shut OFF inlet pressure. Reduce pressure in inlet and outlet lines to zero.
Loosen fill plug.
• Remove bowl. Push into body and turn counterclockwise.
• Disassemble in general accordance with the parts illustrated in Figure 2. Do
not remove the drain unless replacement is necessary. Remove and replace
only if drain malfunctions. Do not remove the siphon tube. Remove and replace
cartridge assembly only if lubricator malfunctions.
2
cleaning(See figure 2)
• Clean polycarbonate bowl with warm water only. Clean other parts with warm
water and soap.
• Rinse and dry parts. Blow out internal passages in body with clean, dry,
compressed air.
• Inspect parts. Replace those found to be damaged. Replace plastic bowl with a
metal bowl if plastic bowl shows signs of cracking or cloudiness.
3
assembly (See figure 2)
• Lubricate o-rings, the portion of the manual drain body that contacts the bowl,
and the hole in the manual drain body that accommodates the stem of drain
valve with o-ring grease.
• Assemble lubricator as shown on Figure 2.
• Torque items listed in Torque Table.
• Push bowl, or bowl with guard, into body and turn fully clockwise.
