RapidFire
The oil lubricates the air as it passes through to the
RapidFire system. In turn, this lubricates the RapidFire
seals and O-rings. Only a bare minmum amount
of oil is required for the system to function well.
The oiler must be checked weekly and serviced at
approximately 1000 hours or when required. The
amount of lubricant drawn into the air supply can be
increased or decreased depending on requirements.
This setting should generally be kept low as excess
oil can clog the breathers in the master air solenoid
valves and prevent them from operating correctly.
The pressure regulator is used to set the maximum
pressure available to the rapid fire system. This
should be set to 80 PSI. The black knob located
above the water trap is used to set the air pressure.
To unlock it, lift the black knob. Looking from above,
turning the knob clockwise will increase pressure.
Turning anti-clockwise will decrease pressure.
To release air from the system for maintenance, turn
the knob anti-clockwise until the pressure on the
gauge reads zero. Drain the water trap to release
any residual pressure.
Once adjustments have been made or maintenance
carried out, reset the pressure as above and push
the black knob down to lock it in place.
The moisture trap should be checked on a daily
basis while the sprayer is in use. It must not be
allowed to fill up totally. If it does, moisture will be
sent through the lines to the nozzle check valve and
this may cause problems with its operation.
To drain the trap, turn the black knob at the bottom
of the clear bowl and push it up. Air and moisture
will be expelled from the bowl. Keep the knob
pressed up until all the moisture has been released.
Once finished, release the knob and turn it back until
it stops. Ensure correct safety equipment is worn
and in place as air will be displaced at high pressure.
The oiler slowly releases oil into the air to keep the
check valves, seals & O-rings lubricated.
Fill the oil to within 5 mm of the top of the oil bowl.
Use an air tool oil or equivalent.
To ensure the correct flow of oil into the air, the oil
flow adjustment screw may need to be adjusted to
suit the conditions.
90 - Chapter 8 - Operation
The screw can be adjusted by turning the blue
regulator knob as shown. Turning the knob clockwise
and in will reduce the amount of oil being supplied
to the RapidFire. Turning the screw counter
clockwise and out will increase amount of oil. To set
the oil flow, wind the knob all the way in, then turn
the knob anti-clockwise half a turn. The oiler requires
regular inspection and topping up every 1000 hours
or when required.
