II. INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR OIL INLET VALVE:
• Connect the oil supply line to the oil inlet on the oil level controller. The minimum recommended supply line is ¾” I.D. The
supply line must be clean and it is recommended that it be flushed with solvent before installation.
• Connect the oil supply line to the oil supply tank. If there is no existing valve at the tank or the existing supply outlet, a shut-off
valve should be placed in the line to prevent oil loss when cleaning the inlet screen or filter.
• For high pressure models HP-A, pressure range must be between 5 psi and 34 psi. For high pressure units HP-B, pressure
range must be between 35 psi and 70 psi.
• The oil inlet valve is adjusted to maintain the oil level at the center of the sight glass. Low or high levels are often caused by
two problems:
1. Excessive oil inlet pressure, which will cause the unit to overfill.
2. Improper equalizing lines between the crankcase and the controller will also result in improper levels.
Note: Low pressure models require a minimum of 2’ of head pressure and a maximum of 15’ of oil inlet head pressure.
III. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNITS WITH ADAPTERS:
OIL LEVEL CONTROLLERS WITH –9 (Universal adapter), -10(Slotted universal adapter), -12 (Pole mounted adapter) AND –
FS OPTIONS
• Set the controller so that the centerline of the sight window corresponds to the desired oil level in the crankcase.
• Mount the controller close to the crankcase and connect the hose from the ¾” outlet located on the controller to the crankcase.
NOTE: The outlet port on the oil level controller must be located below the oil level in the crankcase.
• An equalizing line must be used between the controller and crankcase in order to equalize the pressure. The tubing must be a
minimum of 1/2” I.D. and must be kept under 2 feet. DO NOT loop this line. It must be trap free and self draining, with a
downward pitch flow by gravity.
OIL LEVEL CONTROLLER WITH
–11 AND –11-FS OPTION (for Mechanical Lubricators): See Figure 3
Drill holes in the lubricator housing as shown, and mount
the controller with the inlet located on the top side using the
seal washers and mounting bolts provided.
• Place the seal washers between the controller and the
lubricator housing.
