LUBRIMISTKMODEL “PRY330”
PART #77740220
REV 2
April 2007
Operation
The daily operation of the “PRY330” oil mist system consists of checking the oil mist
generator and the lubricated equipment. As machinery is added and removed from the
equipment preservation yard, the air pressure regulator will need to be adjusted to
maintain the proper mist pressure. Oil consumption will also vary with the quantity of
equipment items. Except for emergencies, routine adjustment of the generator is not
required while the equipment population is stable. The “PRY330” oil mist preservation
system, once installed and balanced, supplies a constant amount of oil mist to a number
of lubrication points.
Variations in the oil mist pressure or regulated air pressure (supply pressure) from the
initial set points is an indication that some component of the mist system or compressed
air supply system may have malfunctioned. Adjustments of the controls to offset the
failure symptom may lead to more serious problems before correction of the root cause
can be made. Please refer to the trouble shooting section of this manual for suggested
corrective actions.
The following checks should be made on a daily basis:
1. Check reservoir oil level, see start-up procedures on how to fill the oil reservoir.
2. Check the regulated air pressure and mist header pressure. Changes or fluctuations in
mist pressure readings indicate broken or plugged lines or reclassifier fittings in the
distribution system. These problems must be corrected before adjusting the regulated
air supply.
Maintenance
The following maintenance procedures should be performed on at least a semi-annual
basis to help ensure proper system operation. If your “PRY330” unit is installed in an
extremely dusty or humid environment or if you are concerned about the quality of your
compressed air supply, the maintenance schedule should be accelerated. Consult with the
nearest LSC office/service center for further discussion and recommendations.
3. Replace air filter element (P/N 77-500-472) and oil filter element (P/N 77-500-487).
4. Inspect and clean interior of the “PRY330” reservoir.
Use lint-free rags to wipe the reservoir.
5. Inspect and clean the oil suction screen.
Use cleaner that is compatible with the oil and use lint-free rags.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE VORTEX MIST HEAD.
