Priming the Air Line Lubricator
New and used machinery run out of oil from time to time. It is a good practice to check your
machine lubricator to insure that it is putting the proper dose of oil in the air lines. Usually 1 drop
of oil every other cycle is a good rule of thumb. The approved list of oil for lubricators is as fol-
lows:
• KVAL P/N SYSLUBG
• Chevron AW Hydraulic Oil 32
• G-C lubricants light AW R&O
• Mobile DTE 24
• Shell Tellus32
• Gulf Harmony 32
To prime the lubricator, find an air line on the carriage section of the machine that is energized,
and disconnect it, allowing the air stream to bleed air pressure away from any persons. Direct the
air stream at the machine so you can see when there is an oily film blowing out of the air hose.
Repeat this same procedure for the back section and other trouble areas.
It is recommended to check the lines every week to two weeks.
