NOTE: Buna-N seals are used extensively throughout the valves and cylinders in the air circuit downstream from the inline oiler. Oils containing graphite fillers, detergent, etc., and fire-resistant and synthetic oils are not compatible with Buna-N seals. Seal swelling and valve malfunctioning will result with use of improper oils.

Adjusting Air Line Lubricator Flow Rate

The air system oil lubricator should be adjusted so approximately one drop of oil every ten machine cycles is metered into the air system. The following steps outline the procedure for adjusting the air system oil lubricator:

1.To initially adjust flow rate, turn on air and cycle press. Set knob to obtain desired flow rate. After system reaches normal operating temperature, check drip rate again and adjust as required.

2.To increase flow rate, use a screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw no more than a 1/8 turn in the counterclockwise direction. Likewise, turn clockwise to decrease oil flow. Refer to item 1, Figure 23.
