LUBRO CONTROL UNIT OPERATORS HANDBOOK PAGE 4 OF 8 ISSUE 1 APRIL 2010 HOSE CONNECTION: __________________________________________________________________ Ensure all hoses are clean and free from any foreign material.

TIP: When using thread sealing tape start 1.5 to 2 threads from the end of the thread to ensure Potential loose tape cannot enter the air supply.

1. Connect the tool air hose to the outlet port on the right hand side.

Use a minimum hose size of 1/2 (12mm) bore. Tighten to 28-30 N.m. Do not over tighten as threads have a taper fitting.

TIP: To connect the air inlet hose to a 1/2 bore hose use a 1/2 BSP Male/Male connector. A pair of

spanners will be required to perform this task (22mm (7/8) A/F and 24mm (15/16) A/F open- ended spanners).

Use 1/2" BSP male/male connector (supplied) to connect air hose to Norbar Pneutorque. Tighten to 28-30 N.m. Do not over tighten as threads have a taper fitting. 2. Connect the inlet port on the left hand side to the mains air supply.

Use a minimum hose size of 1/2 (12mm) bore. Tighten to 28-30 N.m. Do not over tighten as threads have a taper fitting.

3. Before applying air ensure complete air system is connected. Ensure any connected tool is OFF to prevent potential movement. 4. Apply mains air supply. 5. Check for leaks.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE: ________________________________________________________________________ Ensure the Lubro Control Unit has been connected and set up correctly. Ensure the inlet air pressure is present. DAILY CHECKS: ______________________________________________________________________ Ensure lubricator bowl has sufficient oil. Do not drop below MIN. OIL LEVEL. Ensure filter bowl is below MAX. DRAIN LEVEL. Ensure lubrication flow is correct. SET OUTLET PRESSURE: ______________________________________________________________ Refer to connected tool for required outlet pressure.

NOTE: Do not set the pressure above the maximum indicated on the pressure gauge.

NOTE: Make adjustments by hand, the use of tools

may damage the adjuster. Lift the air pressure adjuster to unlock. Rotate adjuster clockwise to increase outlet pressure. Rotate adjuster counter-clockwise to decrease outlet pressure. NOTE: To allow for tool air consumption the tool MUST

be operating whilst adjustment is being made.

Adjust until the desired outlet pressure is indicated on the pressure gauge. Push the air pressure adjuster down to lock in position. Check outlet pressure regularly to ensure it is still accurate. LUBRICATOR FLOW: __________________________________________________________________ Many air tools are designed to operate with a small amount of oil in the air flow; the Lubro Control Unit has the facility to allow this. Refer to air tool handbook for required flow rate. Run the tool to draw air flow. Count the number of oil drops per minute in the oil sight glass. Turn sight glass clockwise to decrease oil flow. Turn sight glass counter clockwise to increase oil flow.
