Installation
WARNING: For use in industrial compressed air systems only. Do not exceed recommended temperature
and pressure. Polycarbonate bowl units can be damaged and burst if exposed to solvents, strong alkalies,
fire resistant and synthetic compressor oils. Use metal bowl in all applications where a plastic bowl could
come in contact internally or externally with chemicals or lubricants incompatible with polycarbonate.
OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS
MAX. RECOMMENDED
TEMPERATURE
PRESSURE
Reservoir can be filled without turning off inlet supply pressure. Remove self--venting fill plug. Fill with good
grade of petroleum lubricating oil approximately 80 to 150 SSU at 100 F (SAE *5 or *10) to within 1/4" of top
of bowl. Unless temperature extremes are present, lighter oils may not wet out and heavier oils could cause
sluggish operation. Replace fill plug hand tight only.
4.5.2
Oil Adjustments
Clockwise -- Decrease
Counterclockwise -- Increase
Close oil needle adjustment by turning clockwise. With air flowing through unit, open oil needle adjustment
until you see approximately 2 drops of oil per minute in sight tube for each 20 SCFM. This will vary with air
flow, line pressure, devices lubricated and oil viscosity.
4.5.3
Tamper Proof
After final oil adjustment, unit can be made tamper proof by pressing tamper proof ball in top of sight dome.
TO REMOVE TAMPER PROOF BALL SHUT OFF AIR LINE and bleed off air by removing fill plug. Remove
sight dome assembly. Separate the inner and outer dome. Push tamperproof ball completely out of outer
dome from the inside. Reassemble dome assembly making sure oil adjust needle and small "0" ring on
needle are assembled into inner dome. Push inner and outer domes together. Make sure "0" ring, bottom of
inner dome and "0" ring under hex of outer dome are in position. Reassemble dome assembly and fill plug.
Turn on air supply and follow oil adjustment instructions.

(counterclockwise). Use blow gun to blow air through oil pickup tube and sight dome assembly . To
reassemble unit make sure bowl seal is into head groove or on top of bowl. Position bowl in place and install
base nut with "0" ring. Turn bowl slightly to make sure bowl centers into head groove. Do not attempt to over
tighten base nut as it shoulders on stud. Follow procedure for filling reservoir and oil adjustment.
