StEP 5)

Adjust pressure regulator clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease motor 

speed.  This adjustment will increase or decrease the air flow.

Note:  Available air pressure (psi) and volume (cfm) will determine blower

         

performance.

StEP 6)

The proper amount of oil mist has already been factory preset.  However, depending on 

the viscosity of the oil being used, slight adjustments may be necessary.  With the blow-

er running, the proper oil mist should be one drop/min.  The oil mist adjustment screw is 

located next to the oil fill cap.  Turn this screw clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise 

to increase oil flow.

Note:  Approximately 1 drop per minute can be achieved by turning the adjust-

            ment screw fully clockwise, then counterclockwise  1 1/2 turns.
