Procedure:
Check the service units for condensate and lubricator
•
setting twice per week.
1. Ascertain the actuator which is furthest from the lubricator.
2. Ascertain the valve terminal which controls this cylinder.
3. Remove the silencer, if fitted, from port (3/5).
4. Hold a piece of white cardboard 10 cm in front of the ex-
haust port.
5. Let the system run for a short period.
– There must be only a slight yellow colouring on the card-
board. If oil drips out, this is an indication that too much
oil has been used.
Another indicator of over-lubrication is the coloration or the
condition of the exhaust air silencer. A distinctly yellow col-
ouring of the filter element or drops of oil on the silencer indi-
cate that the lubricator setting is too high.
