•
Use only genuine IR replacement parts to assure compat-
ible pressure rating and performance.
•
Read carefully all warnings and safety precautions and
heed the following before operating, to avoid personal in-
jury and / or property damage.
•
Be certain anyone operating this equipment has been
trained to use it safely.
WARNING
COMPONENT RUPTURE. DO NOT EXCEED
MAXIMUM RATED OPERATING PRESSURE OF 150 p.s.i.
(10.3 bar). To avoid possible damage or personal injury, DO
NOT expose the unit to excessive pressure beyond the in-
tended working range.
WARNING
TEMPERATURE LIMITS. DO NOT EXCEED
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE LIMITS OF 125_ F (52_ C). Ex-
cessive temperature can affect non-metallic parts which may
weaken them and cause failure.
WARNING
USE WITH INDUSTRIAL COMPRESSED AIR
SYSTEMS ONLY. DO NOT USE WITH BOTTLED GAS
PRODUCTS OR FLUIDS. MISAPPLICATIONS CAN RE-
SULT IN COMPONENT FAILURE.
WARNING
DISASSEMBLY HAZARD. DO NOT DISAS-
SEMBLE THIS UNIT WHEN IT IS UNDER PRESSURE.
SHUT OFF AND RELIEVE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE AT-
TEMPTING SERVICE OR DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES.
Isolate the unit by closing the line valve or disconnect the sup-
INSTALLATION
•
Install lubricator with the air flow as indicated by the arrow on
the unit.
•
Install lubricator as close as possible to the air operated
equipment for best performance.
•
Lubricator must be installed with the bowl downward for prop-
er operation.
•
Locate the lubricator downstream from the regulator and filter.
OPERATION
•
Use a good grade of non-detergent oil (IR part # 29665) for
use in the air operated equipment. Refer to the air operated
equipment operator's manual.
NOTE: This lubricator uses a ball check valve located in the
lubricator body to restrict the operating pressure to the bowl
and allow removal of the fill plug. This will permit filling or lubri-
OPERATING AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ply line or hose.
WARNING
BOWL REMOVAL HAZARD. THE BOWL
MUST BE SECURELY LOCKED INTO POSITION BEFORE
EXPOSING THE UNIT TO LINE PRESSURE. The bowls are
designed with a feature which inhibits removal while under
pressure. When reinstalling, push the bowl up into the body
and rotate to the right 1/8 turn. Failure to lock the bowl could
cause it to blow off, which could result in personal injury or
property damage.
WARNING
DO NOT use degreasers or solvents to clean
polycarbonate bowls. Clean polycarbonate bowls with soap
and water or kerosene only.
DO NOT expose polycarbonate bowls to: acetone, trichloroe-
thane, gasolene, alcohols, keytones, esters, chlorinated hy-
drocarbons, toluene, synthetic lubricants, direct sunlight,
impact blows, temperature outside rated range, pressure
over rated range, compressor oils containing fire resistant ad-
ditives such as phosphate esters or diesters. Exposure to
these substances can cause crazing, cracking or rupture.
Fumes of these substances, either internally or externally, can
also cause failure. USE COMPATIBLE LUBRICATING OILS
ONLY. Lubricating oils used with polycarbonate bowls must
be compatible. Some "fire resistant" oil additives are not com-
patible and can cause failure of the bowls.
For use in environments where any of these chemicals may
be present, consult the factory for approval prior to installa-
tion.
cator bowl removal while in the normal operating mode.
•
Observe the markings (–, +) on the lubricator body which
show direction. Turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise
to increase and clockwise to decrease.
LUBRICATOR ADJUSTMENT:
NOTE: This is a siphon type lubricator design, adjustments
need to be made with a constant rate of flow thru the lubricator
in an operating mode.
•
Use a small screwdriver to adjust the drip rate. The adjust-
ment screw is located in the sight feed cap on the top of the
lubricator.
•
Determine the average rate of flow (SCFM) thru the lubricator,
then turn the adjustment screw to obtain one drop per minute
for each 10 SCFM. Example: If the average flow is 20 SCFM,
set the drip rate at 2 drops per minute.
NOTE: The fill plug must be removed to allow removal of the
lubricator bowl or filling of the unit.
•
Remove the fill plug carefully.
•
Fill to the top of the bowl.
