Installation of the Bullseye Oil Level Indicator
Benefits of proper installation
Preparation
Ensure the machine or tank is turned off and depressurized. Clean the mounting area on the tank or reservoir to remove any dirt, oil, or debris using a cleaning cloth.
Inspect the Sight Glass
Check the Douglass bullseye sight glass for any visible damage. Verify that the threads and sealing surfaces are clean and intact.
Align the Sight Glass
Position the Douglass bullseye sight glass at the designated mounting point on the tank or reservoir. Ensure the sight glass is oriented for optimal visibility.
Thread the Sight Glass
Carefully thread the sight glass into the mounting port. Hand-tighten initially to ensure the threads are correctly aligned and not cross-threaded.
Tighten the Connections
Use a wrench or spanner to tighten the connections securely. Be cautious not to overtighten, as this can damage the threads or the sight glass.
Check Alignment
Ensure the bullseye sight glass is properly aligned and visible. Adjust if necessary before final tightening.
Inspect Seals
Check all seals and connections to ensure there are no gaps or potential leak points.
Test the Installation
Slowly fill the tank or reservoir with oil while observing the sight glass for any signs of leaks. Check the oil level to ensure the sight glass accurately reflects the fluid level.
Final Check
Once the tank is filled, recheck all connections and the sight glass for proper installation and operation.
Documentation
Record the installation date and any observations in the maintenance log for future reference.
