The Model 88 Pump is a heavy-duty precision metering pump
capable of accurately pumping small flows of either mineral or
synthetic oil to machinery injection points. The single-piston
pump is mechanically driven from a camshaft in the reservoir
and is adjustable from 1 to 27 drops per stroke, depending on
the piston size. The pump can develop pressures up to 7500
psi, depending on the piston size. All working parts are totally
enclosed away from dirt, water, and impurities and self-lubricated
at all times by the fluid in the reservoir.
Model 88 Pumps are designed for use in Manzel® Model 55 and
76 Box Lubricators, and in Mega, Lincoln and Premier Model 55
Box Lubricators. The output ranges vary slightly depending on the
lubricator.
Model 88 Pumps are rugged, heavy duty units. Each pump
includes a precision machined steel sleeve fitted with an alloy
steel piston.
The pump is actuated by a hardened steel roller - rocker following
a cam for low wear and longer life. The visual sight well is onepiece injection molded material that is impervious to ultra-violet
rays, and mineral and synthetic oils.
Three (3) piston sizes are available to produce outputs up to 27
drops per stroke in Manzel Box Lubricators and up to 20 drops per
stroke in Mega, Lincoln and Premier Model 55 Box Lubricators.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
ball is concurrently unseated and lubricant is drawn into the piston
cylinder from the sight well. This action creates a pressure reduction
(vacuum) in the air- tight sight well, causing lubricant from the
reservoir to be drawn into the well until pressure is equalized. On
the piston upstroke, the oil in the piston cylinder reseats the inlet
shutoff ball and is forced out through the discharge check valve to the
machine injection point.
The number of drops seen falling in the sight well equals the amount
of oil discharged by the pump. Pump volume can be adjusted by
means of an external screw. This changes the length of the piston
stroke which changes the pump discharge volume.

OPERATION
Pumps With Vacuum Feed
(Sight Glass Type)
Rotation of the lubricator cam actuates the pump rocker arm
assembly to operate the pump piston. On the piston downstroke,
spring force is exerted on the piston causing it to follow the cam. As
it moves down, a pressure reduction is created in the area between
the piston and the discharge check valve. The supply inlet shutoff

Rotation of the lubricator cam actuates the pump rocker arm

spring force is exerted on the piston causing it to follow the cam.
As it moves down, a pressure reduction is created in the area
between the piston and the discharge check valve. The gravity
feed or pressurized supply unseats the supply inlet shutoff ball
and fills the piston bore with lubricant. On the piston upstroke, the
oil in the piston cylinder reseats the inlet shutoff ball and is forced
out through the discharge check valve to the machine injection
point. Pump volume can be adjusted by means of an external
screw. This changes the length of the piston stroke which
changes the pump discharge volume.

ADJUSTMENT
Pump discharge (output flow) can be adjusted within the min./
max. ranges as shown in the illustration. The adjustment is
linear. Therefore, positioning the screw midway will produce
one-half of the pump capacity. To adjust the flow, proceed as
follows:
Loosen adjusting screw locknut.1.
Turn the adjusting screw to the desired position and, with 2.
the pump operating, count the drops falling in the sight well
for a one-minute interval.
Tighten adjusting screw locknut.3.
To Calculate Minimum: Replace the maximum 12 drops per stroke
with the minimum 2 drops per stroke: (1.17 minimum pints per day)
*Should not reciprocate up and down as pump operates, on
pumps built beginning in January 1997.

MANZEL MODEL 88 PUMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill the box lubricator reservoir, to the top of the sight level gauge, 1.
with oil, filtered through a 25 micron nominal strainer. (Machine
requirements may dictate a higher oil cleanliness level.)
Expel all air from the pump. 2. NOTE: Do not connect the oil line to the
pump outlet or lube point until all air has been expelled. To Expel Air
From The Pump:
Remove the sight well plug.a.
Fill the sight well to the top with filtered oil.b.
Operate the hand priming assembly until the oil level c.
drops below the end of the drip tube.
Replace the sight well plug.d.
Continue to hand prime until oil from the drip tube is free e.
of air.
If all oil is evacuated from sight well, repeat steps (a) through f.
(e) as often as necessary, until all air has been expelled.
Connect the tubing to the pump outlet.4.
Hand prime the pump until clean, air-free oil is flowing through the 5.
lube line.
Connect the tubing to the lube point.6.
The lubricator is now ready to operate. After start-up, the lubricator 7.
may require adjustment of the individual pumps to meet required
flow rates.
To adjust The Pump:8.
Loosen the adjusting screw lock nut.a.
Turn the adjusting screw clockwise or counterclockwise b.
to decrease or increase flow.
With the lubricator operating, count the drops falling into c.
the sight well for one minute.
If any further adjustment is necessary, turn the d.
adjustment screw; 1) counterclockwise to increase flow
(drops per minute); or 2) clockwise to decrease flow
(drops per minute).
PUMP DIMENSIONS
Repeat (7-c) to assure that the pump is adjusted to the proper e.
specification.
Once the pump has been adjusted to the proper specification, f.
tighten the adjusting screw locknut.
The recommended minimum flow rate is 2 drops per stroke. Operators 9.
are cautioned against decreasing the oil flow below this rate, as a pump
malfunction may occur.
The minimum recommended strokes per minute is 3. The maximum 10.
recommended strokes per minute is 50. NOTE: To maximize pump life,
it is recommended that the pump not exceed 20 strokes per minute.
Oil level in the sight well will stabilize promptly, then rise and fall slightly 11.
during pump operation. Should oil level in the sight well rise above the
drip tube:
Remove the sight well plug.a.
Allow the pump to continue to operate until the oil level has b.
dropped below the drip tube.
Replace the sight well plug. c. NOTE: This condition is not
uncommon for a vacuum type pump. However it could be an
indication of a problem with the supply inlet shutoff ball/seat.
If this condition persists, check the ball and seat. If there are
no apparent problems there, the piston and bore are worn
and the pump should be replaced.
Should oil level in the sight well fall below the pump body surface:12.
Remove the sight well plug.a.
Allow the pump to continue to operate, and manually fill the b.
sight well with filtered oil to below the end of the drip tube.
Replace the sight well plug. c. NOTE: This condition could be an
indication of a problem with the seal between the sight glass
and pump body surface, or with the sight well plug. Check
parts for nicks, cuts and sealing capability. Replace parts
using Repair Kit Part No. 564437 (560-001-860) if needed.
The MANZEL MODEL 88 PUMP will operate in a Manzel, Mega, Lincoln, 13.
or Premier lubricator. For more information about the Manzel Force Feed
Box Lubricator, refer to Manzel Bulletin L51020 and/or L51040.
