OIL LEVEL CONTROLLER MODELS
512-A (Arrow C46, C66, C106 and C245 ), 512-FM (, 512-W, AND 512-W98 AND FS
OPTIONS
• Drain oil from the crankcase to a level below the oil gauge
Note: On Fairbanks Morse engines, oil draining can be facilitated by removing the coupling from the engine oil drain and installing a
pipe elbow on the nipple. Models ZC 118 and ZC 208 require ½” pipe and models ZC 346, 508, 739 require ¾” pipe. If a banded elbow is
used, it will be necessary to file off part of the gauge boss on some engines.
• Remove all parts from the base oil gauge on the engine
• Remove the adapter from the back of the 512 controller and bolt it in place of the base oil gauge
• Mount the front of the controller with the oil inlet connection on top
• Connect hose from the controller to the supply tank
Note: The hose should be self draining toward the controller and without restrictions. Clean any debris from the oil resevoir and hoses
before connecting to the controller.
• On Fairbanks Morse and Witte 98 engines without an oil gauge, it will be necessary to use an equalizing line. See instruction for –9
adapter and refer to figure 4 for instructions.
Caution: Controller is made of cast aluminum. Overtightening may strip threads.
