PM 85 Oil in lines

Post by grindergary »

OK, I have a PM 85 and am having problems. I thought an oil separator was installed with the regulator and water filters. Seems not true.

Problem is I have oil in the switches and lines of the plasma cutter.

Can anyone suggest how to get the lines cleaned out?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If it is that severe....you need to check your air system. Some facilities use line oilers for air tools.....you will need to find an air drop that does not have an oiler. It is unlikely that much oil would be in the lines normally.

Hypertherm tech service is your best bet for advice on cleaning the oil out of the system.
