SERIES PL LUBRICATORS
These lubricators are designed for use with hose-connected tools which may be too far removed from the compressor to be lubricated by a permanently mounted unit. The Perfecting series PL lubricators should be installed within 25 feet of the air tool requiring lubrication; its rugged construction will allow dragging on the floor or ground. Refer to the arrow for proper air flow direction.
Important: At initial installation, much lubricant is required to coat the line between the lubricator and the tool, so to avoid a dry period during start-up, add about 1/2 ounce (15 cc) oil directly to the line.
The oil adjusting screw is located inside the reservoir. To adjust, remove the fill plug and use a screw driver. It will not be necessary to shut off the air. A setting of 5 is suitable for average conditions using 10 weight oil. Usage of oil varies in proportion to normal pressure reductions which occur in a hose when a tool consumes air. Viscosity also affects the flow of oil, so adjustment based on experience may be desired. Remember that time lag between re-adjustment and visual effects at the tool may be as long as an hour.
The extremely simple principle of this lubricator does not provide for shut off of the oil during periods of shut down. High pressure air trapped above the oil will force any remaining oil from the reservoir into the air line during an overnight shut down. If this is objectionable, with turn the lubricator upside down or open the fill plug and depressurize the reservoir.
