The oiling system consists of:
  • an internal centrifugal pump
  • reservoir
  • flow regulator
  • oil jets
  • connecting tubing

It is designed to deliver a constant small jet spray of lubricant to allow extended operating speeds and long life to relatively inexpensive bearings. (Figure 1)

Begin by mounting the reservoir to the bottom of the oil pump case with the short copper/brass fittings. (Figure 2)

Following the oil tubing interconnection diagram, connect the pre-cut lengths of plastic tubing, securing each connection point with a clamp. (Figure 3)

Just prior to installing the oil jets, pour half of the total amount (supplied in the kit) in each hole.
