AIR C ONNECTION
CAUTION! Working with the air service required for VMC can be hazardous. Make sure
that pressure has been removed from the air line before you connect it to
the machine, disconnect it from the machine, or service parts of the air
system on the machine.
1. When the machine leaves the factory, the air filter is empty, and air lubricator and the lubricator
reservoir tank are full. However, they should be checked and serviced if required before compressed
air is supplied to the machine.
2. With the pressure off in the air line, connect the air supply to the hose barb next to the air filter/
regulator (below the electrical panel). If the fitting supplied is not compatible, simply replace it.
3. Start the compressor, set it between 100 and 150 PSI. Set the regulator on the machine to 85 to
90 PSI.
4. Prime the Bijur lubricator to make sure it is working. To prime the lubrication system, pull up on
the handle on top of the reservoir tank. CAUTION! NEVER push down on the primer handle! It
gradually returns to the down position by itself, and the corresponding pressure increase can be
seen on the pressure gauge.
NOTE: Depending on the position of the cam that drives it, the lubrication system may
not activate until a few minutes after the machine is started. However, if there
is a problem with the system, an alarm will stop the machine.
