SOLENOID AIR VALVE ASSEMBLY
(continued)
Mount the solenoid valve assembly in a vertical position. The electrical conduit fitting can be easily adjusted to face in any horizontal direction by
loosening the hex nut at the top and turning the enclosure. Retighten this nut after locating the fitting. Saddle clamp-type terminals are provided
on the solenoid for wiring.
Exhaust air muffler must be kept clean at all times. Never operate the machine unless the muffler is clean.

Solenoid Air Valve Assembly and Air Cylinder
FILTER-REGULATOR-GAUGE AND LUBRICATOR ASSEMBLY (FRL)
(If furnished, see enclosed Installation Manual No. KSL-208. Reference page 15 for installation instructions on the lockout air valve.)
The filter cleans air that goes to the solenoid air valve (and air cylinder, if furnished). The regulator and
gauge are used to adjust air pressure. The lubricator keeps the solenoid air valve or the air cylinder (if
required) properly lubricated.
The filter-regulator unit with one threaded pipe plug, lubricator, gauge, mounting bracket, and a
connector or nipple are shipped together.
Unpack the filter-regulator unit and install the connector between the filter/regulator lubricator (see
arrow for air flow direction). Tighten this assembly and position the two units with both bowls in
alignment. Be sure to check air flow direction and the location of the dual valve to avoid excessive
piping.
Choose an appropriate location on the machine for mounting this assembly. If possible, it should be
accessible from floor level.
Install the pressure gauge in the threaded port opposite the mounting surface and plug the unused
port. Attach the mounting bracket to the machine and then mount the FRL Assembly using the lock
nut supplied.
The air line run length is not critical; but the port and pipe sizes should be maintained.
Fill the lubricator with a good quality lubricant (see OEM’s specifications) to the level indicated by the
maximum fill line on the transparent reservoir.
Do not overfill
. When the machine is cycled, the lubricator drip rate may be adjusted according to
the Instruction Manual. Please check the machine owner’s manual for proper specifications for oil, if required. Some clutch and brake assemblies
do not require lubrication.
