the distributor block shows the rate at which the block is cycling. To adjust, screw
down the feed regulator until the indicator strokes at the proper rate. Run at this set-
ting for 200 hours of operation. The lubricator adjustment may then be reduced to the
normal operating rate (see Figure 1-5: on page 1-6).
When compressor location or operating conditions change, the lubrication rates
should be changed according to the Ariel Lube Specifications shown in Table 4-1 on
page 4-8.
When two or more force-feed lubricator pumps are manifolded into one distribution
block, the following procedure is recommended to adjust pump rates:
1 Start with each pump adjusted to full open.
2 Adjust the pumps in equal increments until the break-in cycle time is
properly set. The pumps should be stroking at approximately the same
rate.
3 After break-in, the pumps should be readjusted using the same technique
until the prescribed cycle time is set. At this rate, the pumps should be
operating with a stroke at least 20% of maximum. Pump stroke below
20% of maximum results in unreliable pump output. If necessary, stop
one of the pumps and readjust the remaining pump(s) for desired cycle
time.
