Cylinder Oiling
Operators with Automatic Oilers:
1.Set automatic oiler for one drop of oil for each complete cycle.
2.Keep oil bowl full at all times.
3.If water mixes with the oil, pour the oil out. Drain the air compressor and refill the bowl.
Operators without Oiler:
1.Reduce air pressure to zero.
2.Fully extend piston rod out of the cylinder by opening or closing the door.
3.Remove air line from the cylinder.
4.Fill a section (approx. six inches) of the air line with a lightweight (10 wt),
5.Reconnect air line, cycle the operator and repeat the procedure on the opposite cylinder.
6.Return pressure to proper setting.
7.This should be done at least every two months for maximum performance and longevity. Oiling more frequently will extend the life of the operator.
