A look at one of the projects I worked on last week. I started removing the self oiling system from a gen set that no longer needs it. We're going to be installing the system on another gen set that is much harder to access frequently.
Here is the float housing and sight glass for setting up the system. The oil level needs to be a pre determined level in the sight glass, which is the same level in the oil pan(or reservoir if not using the factory oil pan). When the level goes below the set low level, the switch(in next picture) opens a valve and more oil enters the pan. The oiling system also gradually changes oil over the recommended oil change interval.
The small light gray box in the lower left of picture with the hoses entering and exiting it is the switch for the oiling system.
The mounting bracket for the float housing.
The power for the switch is the orange lead coming from spot 7 on the green terminal block.
I learned how an oiling system works, at least how this one works, and how to disassemble it. I hope this will make installing the system on another gen set less confusing.
