Operation
The TMD-5 lubricator includes a motor-driven, spring discharge piston pump. The unit may be operated manually by raising and releasing the manual feed knob. Volume of lubricant discharged for each cycle is selected using adjustment shown on marked indicator rod. Cycle time is fixed by an internal gear reduction motor which runs continuously when powered. A lubricant low level switch is provided for signaling low level condition.

Low Level Switch
This lubricator is equipped with a low lubricant level switch. It is factory set to open an electrical circuit whenever the lubricant level in the reservoir becomes low and must be refilled. The switch contacts may be changed from normally open (empty reservoir) to normally closed by inverting the float. The switch will then close an electrical circuit whenever the lubricant level is approaching empty.
Installation
Mounting: Two 7mm (0.27”) diameter holes are provided near the back of the lubricator for mounting. The surface on which the lubricator is mounted must be capable of supporting 3.4 kg (7.5 lbs). In order to access electrical connections without removing the lubricator from mounting surface, allow for sufficient space above the lubricator.
