Mount and fix the pump firmly using two (2) M6 bolts (1.8ℓ with Tank) LUBE recommends anti-vibration rubber to be applied when the pump is exposed to vibration. Be sure to allow necessary space around the pump as shown on the next page for operation and maintenance.
3-3 Wiring Only qualified personnel electrical work can WARNING connect wiring. This pump has no electric wiring. In installing electric wiring for the air supply controller, follow the instructions given in its operation manual. 3-4 How to connect pipes The discharge port is equipped with a one-touch fitting that makes it easy to connect a pipe to it.
4. Controlling the pump 4-1 Discharge volume adjustment method Adjust the discharge volume according to the following procedure. (1) Pull up the oil regulating knob to unlock it (see Fig. 1). (2) As shown in Fig. 1, turn the oil regulating knob toward the “–”...
Table 1 Relationship between the number of turns of the oil regulating knob and the discharge volume Number of turns of the knob Discharge 0.005 0.01 0.02 0.03 0.04 0.05 0.06 0.07 volume per shot [ml/shot] The discharge volume is unstable if the knob is not rotated at least one full turn.
As shown in the table above, the number of discharges supplied by the pulse generator varies according to the compressed air pressure. Be sure to set the pressure level using a pressure reducing valve. Do not use the pulse generator if the compressed air pressure is set to between (the area).
b. When using a pulse generator: (1) Referring to Table 2 in section 4-2, adjust the compressed air pressure and the setting for the pulse generator. (2) Supply air to the pulse generator. The pump discharges air. Control the air supplied to the pulse generator by using a valve (cock) or an electromagnetic valve.

6. Lubricating oil and refilling 6-1 Oil to be used LUBE recommends the use of “Lubefit.” For other oil products (ISO viscosity grade: 2 to 100 /s), contact LUBE for information. 6-2 Refilling lubricating oil Refill lubricating oil when the level gauge on the tank shows “L.”...
7. Maintenance 7-1 Suction filter Replace the suction filter once a year or clean it periodically. Before conducting maintenance on the pump, turn off the power and make sure that the pump is not operating. Conducting maintenance with the WARNING power turned on will increase the risk of the operator getting an electric shock or the fingers being pinched in moving parts of the pump drive...
7-2 Troubleshooting When troubles occur, take the measures as defined in the chart below. Trouble Cause Measures to take No oil discharged Low oil level Refill the same oil in use from pump Refer to “6. Lubricating oil and refilling” Clogged suction filter Clean or replace filter, or change oil to new oil...

Trouble Cause Measures to take Air in the system Damage in the tubing in- Tighten or replace the side the pump(Twisted, connecting parts crashed, or disconnected) Due to low level of oil in Refill tank with same or tank, air is introduced equivalent oil and then into pump bleed air...
Appendix. Oil contamination Causes and measures Causes Causes for contamination can be divided into two categories. Before the completion of installation Foreign particles in the tubing or pump tank. (Manufacturing defects of the assembly parts or connecting parts and unconformity during construction.) During operation Foreign particles from outside or generated inside of the system.
