IMPORTANT
Observe the safety instructions in Ch. Safety, page 5.
Please refer to Ch. Technical data, page 7 for permissible operating condi-
tions.
When selecting the mist lubricator, take into consideration that the air con-
sumption of the PKL is very low. The choice of mist lubricator depends on
how many PKL are operated simultaneously.
Mist lubricators with 1/8”- and 1/4”-connections are recommended. Larger
mist lubricators may not react.
Set the mist lubricator to the smallest safely adjustable number of drops
while the PKL is running. The PKL is ready for operation only after adjust-
ment and correct functioning of the mist lubricator.
PKL with ST control: impact frequency can be set by the non-return throttle
valve.
PKL without ST control: regulation of impact frequency is set by an exter-
nal control, e.g. a 3/2-way valve and a Netter Electronic Timer (AP).
The impact force can be reduced by lowering the pressure (exception PKL
with ST kit). Throttling the air supply (by using a non-return throttle valve,
shut-off valve, etc.) does not reduce the impact force but delays the charg-
ing time.
Check that the following steps have been carried out:
Hose connections checked before installation?
For installation without ST kit:
Desired impact force set on pressure regulator?
For installation with ST kit and impact frequency control with a
non-return throttle valve:
Impact frequency set optimally?
Note that a high impact frequency reduces the service life and
leads to a high sound level.
Mist lubricator set, if applicable?
After one hour of operation:
Hose supply connections, fastening and locking screws checked
and tightened, if necessary?
Observe the maintenance plan.
