Ball Oilers
proper lubrication of ball oilers is done with a
pump-type oil can that has a plastic or rubberized
cone tip (see Accessories section, beginning on
page 57). We do not recommend using metal
needle or lance tips, as they can push the ball too
far into the oiler, break the spring seat, and lodge
the ball in the oil galley.
Lubricate the ball oilers before and after machine
use, and more frequently under heavy use. When
lubricating ball oilers, first clean the outside sur-
face to remove any dust or grime. push the rub-
ber or plastic tip of the oil can nozzle against the
ball oiler to create a hydraulic seal, then pump the
oil can once or twice. if you see sludge and con-
taminants coming out of the lubrication area, keep
pumping the oil can until the oil runs clear. When
finished, wipe away any excess oil.
