TRICO 30024 Constant Level Oiler, Type LS, 4 oz. Capacity, 2-5/16 Inch Size, Plastic Reservoir

Working Mechanism:

• Trico Opto-Matic oiler has a control point that should align with the oil level of the equipment.
• As oil is depleted in the equipment, the fluid seal (on the spout) breaks.
• During this, air flows from the air vent to the oil reservoir.
• This releases the fluid from the reservoir, allowing it to flow into the equipment until the re-establishment of the liquid seal.

Compatible Accessories:

• Trico Opto Laser Levels: These easy-to-install units act as inspection devices for indicating the accurate setting of the level of oil in Opto-Matic oilers.
• Trico Reservoir Assemblies with Set Screws: They are used to replace old / worn out / damaged oil reservoirs.

Standards and Approvals:

• ISO 9001:2015
• ISO / IEC 17025:2017
• ASTM

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Is Trico Opto-Matic oiler corrosion-resistant?

A. The casting and internal parts are zinc plated and the reservoir is made of butyrate plastic to withstand harsh weather and resist corrosion.

Q. How is Opto-Matic constant oiler installed?

A.

• Before installing, shaft rotation direction must be determined.
• Install the oiler on the side of the equipment facing the direction of shaft rotation to prevent misfeeding of the oiler.
• Determine the proper oil level either indicated by an arrow or manually marked using a marking device.
• Loosen set screw and remove reservoir assembly.
• Check that all connecting hardware is free from contamination.
• Connect lower casting to the bearing chamber and verify that the casting is parallel with the desired oil level.
• Measure the distance between the oiler & casting edge and set the oiler level adjuster i.e. Opto laser level tool.
• Thread the upper adjuster arm to the needed level and once the correct level is obtained, lock the lower level adjuster arm against the upper arm.
• Fill the equipment bearing chamber through the lower casting and use a funnel to fill the reservoir assembly.
• Tighten the set screw and start the equipment.

Q. At what temperatures does this Opto-Matic oiler work?

A. This Opto-Matic oiler can work at temperatures up to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
