Oil Injector Maintenance (If equipped)
The oil injector (on units so equipped) typically require
annual service. The oil level in the oil reservoir tank
should be checked regularly.
Add oil to oil reservoir tank when fluid level is a quar-
ter full or below. Remove cap from the oil reservoir
tank and add Texaco Rando
®
HD 22 oil to full line (SAE
low non-detergent or air tool oil are acceptable substi-
tutes). Replace cap and clean up any spilled oil.
Important: An air lock will form if the hose between
the reservoir and injector is ever empty of oil. In this
case, after filling the reservoir tank, the line must be
bled of air at the injector connection as follows:
1. Disconnect all power sources, both air and elec-
tricity inputs. Allow any stored air in the reservoir to
escape by depressing the inflate pedal.
2. Remove the side panel and locate the oil injector.
3. Prime the oil injector.
a. Oil Injector With Bleeder Screw
Loosen bleeder screw until oil drips from screw
and all air is relieved from the oil line hose.
Retighten the bleeder screw.
b. Oil Injector Without Bleeder Screw
Remove the oil line hose from the injector barb fit-
ting. Allow air to escape from the hose by lowering
the hose end below level of reservoir until oil is
present. Drip oil into hose barb fitting on injector
until barb fitting is full. Reinstall oil line hose onto
oil injector barb fitting.
4. Reconnect air/electric sources and cycle the
clamp control pedal a few times checking for oil and air
leaks.
5. Test the machine for full function before returning
the machine to operation.
6. Monitor oil consumption to ensure oil is being
used in system.
