Mist Oil Lubrication:
Spindle housing mist oilers require syslube lubricant, available through KVAL. Optimum flow
is 3 to 5 drops per minute @ 5-10 psi.
NOTE: These oils cannot be interchanged.
NOTE: On the Commander-DI front section there is about 34 bearings that have zert
fittings either use a pin fitting or a zert fitting to lubricate these bearings.
Priming the 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 every 3-4 cycles is a good rule of thumb.
To prime the lubricator, find an air line on the Front 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. NOTE: It might take up to 15 minutes to get a good prime. When this is
accomplished, place the air line back into its original position.
Repeat this same procedure for the back section and other trouble areas.
Check the lines every week to two weeks
