IS it a 3 phase motor or single phase/220 motor. The motor plate will help to decifer which wire set up the motor is...Delta, wye, etc.

it will do way more than 1300 taps, and oilers will need to be cleaned and the filter on the oil line should be cleaned and new oil added. Adjusting the drippers is simple. Depends on how much vac you are going to be running.

Oops now the pics open...that should be a 220volt with a capacitor start/run.

2-3-8 connected
L1 - 4 & 5
L2 - 1
to Reverse... switch 8 with 5

This is a 230 standard hookup.

Do you have the oil reclaimer for the pump?

there is a set screw or knob on each dripper that can be spun to increase/decrease the amount of vacuum that will pull the oil from the reclaimer. If the Filter on the oil line from the reclaimer is plugged then the flow will change. I will have to find my manual on the 100 plus adjustment to get the recommended flow rates. It is counted in drips per minute. For higher vacuum rate the pump will run hotter so you will increase the drip count slightly. If running full vacuum...28+ higher yet.
The unit you have is a very good and should have a temp gauge on the oil reclaimer. I cant see the dripper you have so in the am I will take some pics of different styles I have so you will be able to match what you have for adjusting.

Warm oil will flow faster than cold oil...this is not an issue and I like to set them at cold oil temp so as the unit heats it gets more oil. Temps above 200 on the oil will require a small fan to blow on the reclaimer to cool the oil; thus cooling the pump. Temps below that will trap moisture in the reclaimer. Water kills pumps by rusting the housing.
