Intended Use
• Combination filter regulator unit with combined oiler, for permanent installation in compressed
air lines. Removes foreign matter from the compressed air, allows for setting the air pressure
accurately using the integrated pressure gauge, and dispenses an adjustable amount of air tool
oil into the air flow, to lubricate air tools attached
WARNING: This filter does not produce breathing grade compressed air!
WARNING: Some water vapour will pass through this unit and could condense into liquid form
downstream, as air temperature drops. Install an air dryer if water condensation could have a
detrimental effect on the application.
Unpacking Your Device
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
Installation
Note: DO NOT install this filter regulator in locations where it would be permanently exposed to
direct sunlight.
1. Install the Mounting Bracket (2) on a wall, machine housing or other even surface using two
suitable screws (mounting hardware not included). The Drain Valve (8) must be located at the
bottom of the unit
2. Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Pressure Gauge (11). This will
help to maintain an air tight seal
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not come off when the thread
is screwed into the tool.
3. Screw the pressure gauge clockwise into the threaded hole of the regulator body as shown
in the 'Product Familiarisation' image above
Note: Be careful not to cross the threads. Turn gently at first. Ensure that the dial is correctly
positioned when tightening the pressure gauge.
Air Filter Regulator & Lubricator 150ml
Air supply connection
WARNING: Ensure that the air system is fully drained and the compressor is switched off, before
connecting the unit.
WARNING: This filter regulator unit must not be used with compressors that use lubricants
containing aromatic hydrocarbons. Such chemicals would damage and lead to failure of the
polycarbonate Condenser Bowl (9).
IMPORTANT: The Flow Direction Arrows (7) on the housing of the unit indicate direction of air flow.
AIR FLOW IS FROM THE COMPRESSOR TO THE TOOL.
• Connect the filter regulator with oiler to the compressor feed (see diagram below)

RECOIL HOSE
LEADER HOSE
Note: This combined unit with oiler is not suitable for painting applications (e.g. when using spray
guns, etc.), unless the oil is completely removed and the unit thoroughly degreased prior to using
for spray painting.
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated (see "Specifications")
• Ensure that water is drained from air system daily
• Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly rated for the air pressure
to be used
Filling the oil bowl
WARNING: Ensure that the air system is fully drained and the compressor is switched off, before
attempting to refill the oiler.
• Remove the Oil Filler Cap (5), using a large slotted screwdriver (not included)
• Carefully fill Oil Bowl (6) with suitable air tool oil up to a maximum 80% of the bowl. Refer to
'Specifications' for compatible lubricants. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE NORMAL
ENGINE OIL
• Refit the oil filler cap and tighten
Operation
WARNING: The Condenser Bowl (9) and Oil Bowl (6) are manufactured from polycarbonate and
must not be exposed to temperatures above 50°C.
Before each use
• Check oil level in Oil Bowl (6) and top up if necessary to maximum 80% full (see 'Filling the
oil bowl')
• Do not let the oil level drop below 20%
• Inspect the unit and air hoses for wear or damage, and replace if necessary. Do not use damaged
or leaking hoses or connections
Adjusting the air pressure
Note: Some air tools have built-in regulators, which are used to control speed/torque performance.
Where a machine does not have a built-in regulator, the speed/torque can still be adjusted by
varying the pressure on your air supply regulator.
• INCREASE the air pressure by pulling the Pressure Control (1) up to unlock it, then turning it
clockwise. Push the pressure control back down to lock it again
• DECREASE the pressure by unlocking the pressure control then turning it anti-clockwise. Push
down to lock it again
WARNING: For applications that require a very accurate air pressure, confirm outlet pressure with a
calibrated pressure gauge.
Adjusting the oiler
Note: Adjust oil drop to meet requirements of the air tool you are using. Refer to the tool
manufacturer's instructions.
• Turn Oil Adjustment Dial (3) to adjust the amount of oil dispensed: '1' small amount; '9' large
amount
• The oil drop can be checked by watching the Sight Glass (4)
Note: After making adjustments to the air pressure, the oil drop needs to be readjusted. If you
increase the air flow, more oil will be dispensed; if you decrease the air flow, less oil will be added
to the air.
