! WARNING
To avoid polycarbonate bowl rupture that can cause personal injury or
property damage, do not exceed bowl pressure or temperature ratings.
Polycarbonate bowls have a 150 PSIG pressure rating and a maximum
temperature rating of 125°F.
WARNING
To avoid unpredictable system behavior that can cause personal injury
and property damage:
• Disconnect electrical supply (when necessary) before installation,
servicing, or conversion.
• Disconnect air supply and depressurize all air lines connected to this
product before installation, servicing, or conversion.
• Operate within the manufacturer’s specified pressure, temperature, and
other conditions listed in these instructions.
• Medium must be moisture-free if ambient temperature is below
freezing.
• Service according to procedures listed in these instructions.
• Installation, service, and conversion of these products must be
performed by knowledgeable personnel who understand how
pneumatic products are to be applied.
• After installation, servicing, or conversion, air and electrical supplies
(when necessary) should be connected and the product tested for
proper function and leakage. If audible leakage is present, or the product
does not operate properly, do not put into use.
• Warnings and specifications on the product should not be covered by
paint, etc. If masking is not possible, contact your local representative
for replacement labels.

CAUTION
Polycarbonate bowls, being transparent and tough, are ideal for use with Filters
and Lubricators. They are suitable for use in normal industrial environments, but
should not be located in areas where they could be subjected to direct sunlight,
an impact blow, nor temperatures outside of the rated range. As with most
plastics, some chemicals can cause damage. Polycarbonate bowls should not
be exposed to chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones, esters and certain alcohols.
They should not be used in air systems where compressors are lubricated with
fire-resistant fluids such as phosphate ester and diester types.
Metal bowls are recommended where ambient and/or media conditions are
not compatible with polycarbonate bowls. Metal bowls resist the action of most
such solvents, but should not be used where strong acids or bases are present
or in salt laden atmospheres. Consult the factory for specific recommendations
where these conditions exist.
TO CLEAN POLYCARBONATE BOWLS USE MILD SOAP AND WATER ONLY!
DO NOT use cleansing agents such as acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride,
gasoline, toluene, etc., which are damaging to this plastic.

Micro-Mist Lubricators (Figure 1)
Description
These micro-mist lubricators are designed to deliver an atomized oil mist to air
operated tools, motors, and other pneumatic equipment. Units are equipped with
full-view sight glass for visual indication of oil drop rate, needle valve feed adjustment
to regulate oil drop rate, and a venturi bypass disc to compensate for changes in air
flow demands.
Installation of Lubricator
1. Lubricator should be installed with reasonable accessibility for service whenever
possible - repair service kits are available. Keep pipe and tubing lengths to a
minimum with inside clean and free of dirt and chips. Pipe joint compounds should
be used sparingly and applied only to the male pipe – never into the female port.
Do not use PTFE tape to seal pipe joints - pieces have a tendency to break off and
lodge inside the unit, possibly causing malfunction.
2. Install lubricator so that air flow is in the direction of arrow on body.
3. Installation should be upstream from, and as close as possible, to the device it is to
lubricate (valve, cylinder, tool, etc.). Whenever possible, avoid locations that require
air-borne oil to move in an upward direction to reach the device to be lubricated.
4. The installation of an individual lubricator for each air consuming device provides
best assurances of proper lubrication.
5. In new installations, it is good practice to “wet down” the inside diameter of piping
and/hose with oil before making final connections. Although your lubricator delivers
oil to the line, pre-coating the inside diameter with oil helps insure that proper
amounts of oil are delivered to the point of application.
Operation & Service of Lubricator
Warning: Before filling, inlet pressure must be eliminated and then de-
pressurize system pressure.
1. FILLING - After de-pressurizing system, remove fill plug or bowl to refill lubricator.
Fill bowl to fill line indicated on the bowl with oil of 150 to 200 SSU at 100°F viscosity
- same as SAE No. 10 (petroleum based hydraulic oils or spindle oils are good
examples). DO NOT USE OILS WITH TACKY ADDITIVES, COMPOUND OILS
CONTAINING SOLVENTS, GRAPHITE, SOAPS OR DETERGENTS. (Automotive
oils generally contain detergents and are not recommended.
2. Replace the fill plug or bowl and seat firmly. Excessive torque is not necessary. The
lubricator is now ready for setting.
