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.
