OIL LEVEL CONTROLLER MODEL 512-SML AND FS OPTIONS
•
Remove the four screws on the end of the lubricator with the filler cap
• Bolt the controller in place with four cap screws and lockwashers provided
•
Using tubing, connect the ½” pipe connection on the controller to a drain on the lubricator
OIL LEVEL CONTROLLER MODELS 512-AJAX (Ajax, Lufkin made before 1-1-63, Superior and other crosshead type
engines, and Tri-Plex pumps with ½” drains) AND 512-L-795 (Arrow L-795) AND FS OPTIONS-See Figures 5 and 6 below.
•
Remove the crankcase drain plug and drain all of the oil out of the crankcase.
• Mount controller as shown below: The nipple in the engine drain should be a ¾” heavy nipple .
NOTE: On Fairbanks Morse and Witte 98 engines without an oil gauge, it will be necessary to use an equalizing line. To install
an equalizing line, drill a ¼” hole about 4” above the top of the controller in the back of the crankcase. Install ½” tubing and
make sure that the line is self draining.
• Fill the crankcase to high level on the dipstick of the engine.
• After oil has entered the controller, rotate the controller on its mounting until the oil level is in the center of the sight glass.
NOTE: The controller must be set vertically after this adjustment. This can be checked with a level placed on the side of the controller.
•
Connect the hose form the controller to the supply tank. Be sure to flush the hose with solvent before installing.
• Start the engine and let it run for 30 minutes. On an Ajax engine, the oil level in the controller will drop when the engine is running.
•
After the controller has re-established the oil level, connect the switch wire from the controller to the primary ground terminal on the
magneto.
