Installation
1.
The lubricator should be installed with reasonable accessibility
for service whenever possible. Keep pipe or tubing lengths to
a minimum with inside clean and free of dirt and chips. Pipe
joint compound should be used sparingly and applied only to
the male pipe – never into the female port. Do not use PTFE
tape to seal pipe joints – pieces have a tendency to break off
and lodge inside the unit, possibly causing malfunction.
2.
Install lubricator so air flows in the direction of arrow on body.
3. Installation should be upstream of the device it is to lubricate
(valve, cylinders, tool, etc.).
Operation and Service
1. The inlet pressure of the Atomist lubricator must be turned
off and depressurized before the fill plug (brass) is removed.
Turn counterclockwise to remove. Fill to oil level line.
Use a petroleum based oil of 100 to 200 SSU viscosity at
100°F and an aniline point greater than 200°F. (Mobil DTE24
and Sun Company Sunvis 932 are good examples). Do not
use oils with adhesives, compound oils containing solvents,
graphite, detergents or synthetic oils.
2. Replace the fill plug (by turning clockwise) and seat firmly.
Excessive torque is not required. Turn on air supply. If leakage
occurs, DO NOT OPERATE — conduct repairs again. The
lubricator is now ready for setting.

CAUTION
Polycarbonate bowls, being transparent and tough, are ideal for use with
Filters and Lubricators. They are suitable for use in normal industrial
environments, but should not be located in areas where they could be
subjected to direct sunlight, an impact blow, nor temperatures outside of the
rated range. As with most plastics, some chemicals can cause damage.
Polycarbonate bowls should not be exposed to chlorinated hydrocarbons,
ketones, esters and certain alcohols. They should not be used in air systems
where compressors are lubricated with fire-resistant fluids such as phosphate
ester and di-ester types.
Metal bowls are recommended where ambient and/or media conditions are
not compatible with polycarbonate bowls. Metal bowls resist the action of
most such solvents, but should not be used where strong acids or bases are
present or in salt laden atmospheres. Consult the factory for specific
recommendations where these conditions exist.
TO CLEAN POLYCARBONATE BOWLS USE MILD SOAP AND WATER
ONLY! DO NOT use cleansing agents such as acetone, benzene, carbon
tetrachloride, gasoline, toluene, etc., which are damaging to this plastic.
Bowl guards are recommended for added protection of polycarbonate bowls
where chemical attack may occur.
