* Current 1-quart reservoir models (Model 10-028-545)
use liquid level lens kit 2273-22. Early 1-quart reservoir
models (Model 10-028-045) are identical in appearance
to the 2-quart reservoir and use liquid level lens kit
2272-02.
INSTALLATION
1. Shut-off air pressure. Support weight of lubricator with 2
and 5 gallon reservoirs on shelf, floor, etc. Install
lubricator in air line -
vertically (reservoir down),
G
with air flow in direction of arrow on body,
G
downstream of filters and regulators,
G
upstream of cycling valves,
G
as close as possible to the device being lubricated,
G
NOTE
Oil-Fog lubricators are generally installed no more than
5,2m (15 feet) from the device being lubricated. The
10-028 lubricator, however, will perform satisfactorily at
distances greater than 5,2m (15 feet) if installed at a
location sufficiently higher than the device being
lubricated, and the pipe network does not contain low
spots or complex bends.
2. Connect piping to proper ports using pipe thread sealant
on male threads only. Do not allow sealant to enter
interior of unit.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS
Use a good quality, non-detergent, light, misting type oil for
compressed air tools. See Norgren publication
N/AL.8.900.935.
FILL RESERVOIR
Shut off inlet air pressure and reduce pressure in reservoir
to zero. Remove fill plug, add oil, and reinstall fill plug. Fill
to maximum fill line on transparent reservoir. Oil level must
always be visible in liquid level lens on metal reservoir. DO
NOT OVERFILL. Do not remove the fill plug on lubricators
with 2 and 5-gallon reservoirs when the reservoir is
pressurized, as oil will blow out the fill plug hole. The fill
plug on lubricators with smaller reservoirs may be removed
and the reservoir refilled when the reservoir is pressurized.

ADJUSTMENT
1. Turn on system pressure.
2. Adjust lubricator drip rate under a steady flow condition.
Air flow should be at the rate the lubricator will be used.
Monitor drip rate thru sight feed dome (1).
3. Determine the air flow (scfm) thru the lubricator. Refer to
the shaded area in the Drip Rate Chart and determine the
drip rate corresponding to the air flow. Select an initial
drip rate toward the rich side of the shaded area for inlet
pressure less than 6,2 bar (90 psig), or toward the lean
3
side for inlet pressure more than 6,2 bar (90 psig). Turn
/s
adjustment counterclockwise to increase and clockwise
to decrease the drip rate. Total travel of adjustment (1) is
320°.
4. Monitor the device being lubricated for a few days
following initial adjustment. Adjust the drip rate if the oil
delivery at the device appears either excessive or low.

DISASSEMBLY
1. Shut off inlet pressure. Reduce pressure in inlet and
outlet lines to zero. Loosen fill plug. Lubricator may be
disassembled without removal from the air line.
2. Remove reservoir:
1-Quart Reservoir: Turn reservoir (40)
counterclockwise and remove from adapter (28).
All Other Reservoirs: Remove screws (6, 7) and
separate reservoir from body.
3. Disassemble in general accordance with the item
numbers on exploded view. Unscrew siphon tube
assembly (10), taking care not to lose check ball (11). Do
not remove siphon tube from fitting. Charge valve (9) is
not used with 2 and 5-gallon reservoirs. Do not remove
drain (30, 31, 32) unless replacement is necessary.
Remove and replace only if it malfunctions.
4. Disassembly of the reservoirs is not normally required.
CLEANING
1. Clean plastic reservoir and sight feed dome with warm
water only. Clean other parts using warm water and
soap.
2. Dry parts. Blow out internal passages in body with clean,
dry compressed air.
3. Inspect parts. Replace parts found to be damaged. If
plastic reservoir shows signs of cracking or cloudiness,
replace with a metal reservoir.
