Working Mechanism:
- Before installing, determine the direction of the shaft rotation .
- Install the oiler on the side of the equipment facing the direction of shaft rotation to prevent misfeeding.
- Determine equipment's proper oil level. Loosen the set screw and remove the reservoir.
- Connect the lower casting of this unit to the bearing chamber using side or bottom connections. Level it properly & mark the desired oil level.
- Measure the distance between the unit and the top edge of the spout angle. Mark this distance above the line made in the above step as X.
- Fill the equipment bearing chamber through the unit's lower casting until the oil level reaches the desired level mark.
- Fill 2/3 of the reservoir using the recommended oil using a funnel. Place a thumb over the reservoir spout & invert it over the lower casting. Insert the reservoir assembly till its bottom edge reaches the X mark.
- Tighten the set screws on the reservoir assembly and start the process to check for the proper functioning of the oiler.
- If the oil level drops below a certain point in a system, the liquid seal on the spout breaks inside the constant-level oiler. Then air enters through the air vent into the oil reservoir, allowing the fluid to flow from the reservoir into the equipment.
- The liquid seal reestablishes itself after the depleted oil self-levels according to the constant level oilers.
