Hello All, I bought what seems to be a Go Power D312 or D316 unit. I found the manual online but it does nor seem to detail what the other smaller pipes connect to.I see the inlet and outlet ports for water, grease nipples for grease, then there is a small 90Degree fitting at the top, I assume this is a sort of bleed pipe, but then there seems to be a pair of pneumatic ? tubes teed to a single fitting, not sure what these so. I'd like to get it set up and tested to ensure it is ok before jumping in and buying a YourDyno control system for it.  Here are some pictures 10 Items

The black 90 degree elbow appears to be an absorber vent that must be open to the atmosphere, an extension hose on it is fine. If I was to take an educated guess, it would be that those other small hoses are for bearing oilers. I would investigate that further with Go Power, as failure to oil bearings during operation can be catastrophic.

I will investigate those twin pipes. Their insides appear very dry with no oil residue at all and the fittings seem like pneumatic fittings, I doubt it would have needed an air supply. I popped Go Power an Email.
