•
Use only genuine ARO 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 injury 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: Metal Bowl
175 p.s.i. (12 bar), Polycarbonate Bowl 150 p.s.i. (10 bar). To
avoid possible damage or personal injury, DO NOT expose the unit
to excessive pressure beyond the intended working range.
WARNING TEMPERATURE LIMITS. DO NOT EXCEED MAX
IMUM TEMPERATURE LIMITS OF: Metal Bowl 175_ F (79_ C),
Polycarbonate Bowl 125_ F (52_ C). Excessive temperature can
affect non metallic parts which may weaken them and cause fail
ure.
WARNING USE WITH INDUSTRIAL COMPRESSED AIR
SYSTEMS ONLY. DO NOT USE WITH BOTTLED GAS PROD
UCTS OR FLUIDS. MISAPPLICATIONS CAN RESULT IN COM
PONENT FAILURE.
DISASSEMBLY HAZARD. DO NOT DISAS
WARNING
SEMBLE THIS UNIT WHEN IT IS UNDER PRESSURE. SHUT
INSTALLATION
•
Install lubricators with the air flow as indicated by the arrow on the
top of the unit.
•
Install lubricators as close as possible to the air operated equip
ment for best performance.
•
Lubricators must be installed with the bowls downward for proper
operation.
•
When using lubricators featuring the sight glass on the bowl, orient
the bowl so it is most visible for the operator.
•
Locate the lubricator downstream from the regulator and filter.
OPERATION
•
Use a good grade of non detergent oil (ARO 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 lubrica
tor body to restrict the operating pressure to the bowl and allow re
moval of the fill plug. This will permit filling or lubricator bowl
removal while in the normal operating mode.

OPERATING AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
OFF AND RELIEVE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING SER
VICE OR DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES. Isolate the unit by clos
ing the line valve or disconnect the supply 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 reinstal
ling, 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. Exposure internally or ex
ternally to incompatible chemicals or their vapors or fumes could
attack and weaken polycarbonate material, causing failure.
DO NOT EXPOSE to acetone, trichloroethane, gasolene, alcohols,
keytones, esters, chlorinated hydrocarbons, toluene, etc.
Clean polycarbonate bowls with soap and water or kerosene only.
USE COMPATIBLE LUBRICATING OILS ONLY. Lubricating oils
used in plastic bowls must be compatible with polycarbonate plas
tic (some fire resistant" oil additives are not compatible). Fumes of
these substances in contact with polycarbonate bowls internally or
externally can also damage the bowl. Consult Aro catalog or the
Aro Corporation, Bryan, Ohio 43506 for comprehensive listings of
harmful chemicals and compatible listings of harmful chemicals
and compatible lubricating oils. If questions arise, request form no.

•
Observe the markings ( , +) on the lubricator body which shows di
rection. 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 operat
ing mode.
•
Use a small screwdriver to adjust the drip rate. The adjustment
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 lubri
cator bowl or filling of the unit.
•
Remove the fill plug carefully.
•
Fill to the top of the bowl. If the bowl is equipped with a side sight
glass, oil should always be visible in the glass.
