Manzel® Model HP-50, HP-60
High Pressure Lubricators
INTRODUCTION
This manual provides operation and service instructions and a
parts list for the “Manzel” Model HP-50 and HP-60 High Pressure
Lubricators, Discharge and Terminal Check Valves.
The high pressure lubricator comprises one to four integral sight
and pump assemblies in a cast iron reservoir. The unit is designed
for direct connection to an electric motor/speed reducer power
source. A “Manzel” terminal check valve is recommended in the
lubrication system. When required to maintain proper oil viscosity,
the reservoir can be fitted with an optional steam or electric
heater.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Oil Level — When necessary, completely fill the lubricator
reservoir with clean filtered lubricant. Three sight glasses,
provided in the reservoir at various levels, permit observation
of fluid level. Oil level should not be allowed to drop below
the bottom sight glass. During the initial filling, the vent plugs
at the top of the pump sight glasses should be removed. This
allows lubricant to rise in the drip tube up to the level of the
oil in the reservoir and reduces the priming re quired at start
up.
2. Pump Priming — If the sight well on the pump does not
contain oil, the pump should be primed. Pumps may be
primed while the lubricator shaft is rotating as follows:
• Remove the vent plug on top of the sight glass and
fill the housing sight well with oil to 3/8 inch below the
discharge of the drip tube.
• Replace the vent plug. Check the sight glass to
insure that it is properly seated against the O-ring to
prevent air leakage into the sight well.
• Readjust the pumping rate to the desired delivery.
3. Pumping Rate — The pumping rate is indicated at the drip
tube inside the sight glass. During the pump suction stroke,
fluid is drawn into the pump from the sight well. This creates
a partial vacuum in the sight well, permitting atmospheric
pressure in the lubricator reservoir to force an amount of oil
equal to the pump displace ment through the drip tube into the
sight well. The rate is adjustable for each pump assembly by
means of the pump regulator which varies the stroke of the
positive displacement, reciprocating pump assembly.
Caution: The drip tube flow rate is accurate after the
pump has operated long enough to stabilize the pressure
inside the sight well. There is a time lag at start-up, low
pumping rates, and during pump rate changes. Allow
sufficient time to insure an accurate rate indication.
4. Regulating Pump Rate — The pumping rate can be varied
infinitely within the range of minimum to maximum by means
of the graduated pump regulators which project through the
reservoir cover. The regulators are easily adjusted by hand
during the pump suction stroke. Maximum pumping rate
is achieved when the adjustment nut on the sight indicator
stem is turned in a clockwise direction as far as it can go. In
this position the sight indicator stem projects the maximum
distance indicating maximum pumping stroke. When the
adjusting nut is turned in a counter-clockwise direction,
delivery reduces, because of a reduction in pump stroke, until
minimum delivery is obtained.
Note: To retain the hydraulic seal between the plunger
and the cylinder walls, minimum delivery must not go
below 1/2 drop (0.017 cc) per pump stroke.
• Adjust the pumping rate to the maximum setting by
turning the adjustment nut on the indicator stem as far
as possible in a clockwise direction.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lubricator operation can be checked by observing the drip
tube. If the correct pumping rate is maintained, no servicing
is required other than periodic replenish ment of the reservoir.
If the sight glass well pumps dry or no flow is observed,
check the following points until the cause is determined and
corrected.
• Check the vent plug for proper sealing. Any nicks or
cracks in the rubber plug will cause an air leak into the
sight glass.
• Check shaft rotation. If the lubricator shaft is not
rotating, determine the cause and repair as necessary.
• Check oil level and viscosity. Be sure the reservoir is
filled with oil, and if necessary heat the reservoir to
maintain viscosity at the correct level for the desired
flow.
• Check pump priming. If necessary, prime the pump in
accordance with the “Operating Instructions”.
• Check the feed adjustment and readjust if the pumping
rate is too low.
• Check the actuating linkage for proper operation. If
defective, isolate the broken part and repair or replace
as required.
2. If none of the above steps isolate the malfunction, the
cause is in the pump assembly. The following items
should be checked before removing the pump assembly
from the cover.
• Check the sight for inward leakage due to a crack in the
sight glass, improper sight glass seating, or a defective
O-ring. Repair as required.
to the fac tory for repair as they contain a selectively fitted
cylinder and plunger. A spare pump should be on hand for
use during emergencies when a pump is being repaired.
4. If the sight glass fills with lubricant proceed as follows:
• Remove the vent plug and allow the lubricant to pump
down to the proper level. Replace the vent plug. The
pump should operate normally.
• If the sight glass continues to fill with lubricant check all
terminal check valves for proper operation. If the valves
are operating properly, remove and clean the pump
assembly, then re install the pump in the system and
check operation.
• If the sight glass still fills with lubricant it may be caused
by temperature variation.
1) When the unit is not operating, remove the vent
plug and allow the lubricant to pump down to the
proper level. Replace the vent plug. The pump
will now function properly. The sight glass may fill
with fluid without affecting the operation of the
lubricator as long as the drip tube remains above
the lubricant level to show the rate of pumping.
2) When the unit is operating, the sight level will vary
depending on temperature variations. If the level
falls to less than 1/4inch above sight glass flange,
add lubricant to the proper level (3/8 inch below the
discharge of the drip tube) through the vent hole.
If the level is too high, remove the vent plug and
allow the unit to pump down before replacing the
vent plug.
5. Other servicing that may be required is listed below:
• Check for an obstruction in the drip tube and remove if
found.
• Periodic cleaning of the lubricator is desirable to
eliminate contamination that may have occurred in the
oil. To accomplish this, remove all pumping units and
3. If the above steps do not isolate the malfunction, disconnect
the discharge tubing and remove the pump assembly which
is attached to the cover with four screws. It is not necessary
clean the pumps and reservoir by brushing loose all
foreign matter, dipping in solvent and blowing dry with
compressed air.
to stop the equipment on which the lubricator is installed
or to empty the reservoir. Faulty pumps should be returned
• If external leakage is observed, determine the cause
(loose bolts, defective gaskets, or seals) and repair as
required.
