How does one 'bleed' the oil? does the unit need to be disconnected and disassembled?

it has a tire stem valve on the bottom. just push it, like letting air out of a tire.
2080417
small button on bottom push in to bleed or does it automatic every time no air pressure present

I purcahsed a DeVilbiss HVLP spray gun and this unit simultaneously. They are not a suitable match. My gun requires 13 SCFM. Even at 120psi I could not get the required air to pass it, so I just laid it aside. Not worth the trouble or cost to return.

no, It has a spring loaded pin on the plastic tube. All you do is push it in until no moisture comes out plastic filter. When there is no more moisture coming out release pin allow it to return.

Once I applied this in line filter, it drasticly reduced my air pressure. So I just canned it. I apologize for bit directly answering your question. But it's somethig I wish I knew prior to purchasing this item

The cap should be off, then you twist the middle section so that you hear it clicking and that forces the oil out the brush. It should flow right out.

I have not used the machine in months. I'm pretty sure it was a normal counter clockwise oil plug(I'm not positive). I had to use pliers to get it off. Just be careful not to break plastic. Pliers should be able to grab it around the outside, even if the plastic is broken. Hope this helps a little.

Don:I pull it by the power cord. But once a year I make sure that the cord is securely attached to the housing. I also tighten 4 screws for motor housing lightly to avoid the oil leak once a year. The first one leaked oil over time and killed the motor.

i have had good experience that way, but the thing started leaking oil a few weeks after i received it!!!! do i dare use it. also, if the power goes off it starts at a much higher temperature than i want...in other words it doesn't hold it settings.

Very good YouTube on how to do this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eKHVvNX5eYwatched it a few times and had no trouble. Go ahead and buy the gasket too, it is easy to replace when you change the grease.

No, it's very simple. You just frequently add oil in a slot as indicated by the directions.

depends....if you do it the right way.... you are supposed to remove most of the old oil , install new filter dryer ,install new adapter fittings,purge with nitrogen, pressure test with same check for leaks at all connections if you lose pressure under test,then use vacuum pump to bring down to required vacuum with the refrigerant attached so you can release it under vacuum, this could take a good 6 hours for all of this...or you can just do the vacuum part which if there is no leaks would or should only take few hours then release refrigerant or skip that which would leave atmosphere in the system (not Ideal) then it would only take you about half hour to install...I did mine the long way and it works great. Actually I did every thing I mentioned above except remove the old oil and it works great so far...which is like 3 months of light use

if this is like the 1 liter one I have, there should be a little insignia of an oil can right in front of the trigger on the top right before the brass rod that goes down into the cup. From what I have gathered, it is not oil that is needed but every now and then add a little petroleum jelly or other water NON-soluable grease just to keep the o-ring pliable...if it dries out, pump won't work...go to Solo site, this explanation should be there

It requires soldering - it's not a simple remove and replace. There are some YouTube videos out there, but unless you're very comfortable with soldering, suggest you buy a new unit.

Google it or xall themanufacturer.... as far as oil I'm certain you will need the oil ..... Andit's possible the seals are ruined anyway

I don't understand the question "to be clean?" You don't need to remove the oil container in order to clean it. I use a sink spray hose and drain through the drain valve.

Yes. The oil is already in the heater. It is sealed in the unit and does not come out.

A filter wrench BUT they don't give one - I used an auto oil filter wrench. Tap Master is crap. Maybe a male friend can open it.Go to pureearth.comSorry so late in reply

it can't be disconnected. We put it in a container of detergent water, run the motor for a second rinse and then sanitize and air dry. takes less than a minute and its all clean.

I ran it in reverse. Otherwise my husband took it apart and it worked for a little while. Then I bought this new one. I see there should be oil on a piece of paper every once in a while. I just learned that. I found a nice on the internet after I bought this one for about the same price and does the same thing at either Walmart or Meijer.

My unit will swivel about a quarter turn and locks the head in place so that it will not leak oil. When unlocked I press the head twice on paper to start the oil flow and use a light touch to cut. It took only a few weeks to pay for its self in unbroken glass.
