Lubrication Instructions

AIR SUPPLY

Our tools are designed to operate at 90 pounds per square inch air pressure. The pressure should be checked at the tools inlet with the tool running. For maximum performance use a 1/4” inside diameter air hose up to 8 foot in length. If additional length is required a 3/8” or larger inside diameter should be connected to the 1/4” inside diameter hose. All hoses should be clear of dirt and moisture.

AIR LINE LUBRICATION

An automatic in-line filter-lubricator is recommended as it increases tool life and provides needed lubrication for tools in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil. Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports of the tool and holding the throttle open for approximately one minute. The lubricator is set correctly when a very light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided. In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended amount of time it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time and again when returned to service. The tool should be stored in a clean and dry environment. Care should be taken to absorb any excess oil from the exhaust with a suitable cloth or rag when the tool is first run with air after storage.

GEAR TRAIN LUBRICATION

Application of the tool should govern how frequently it is greased. It is recommended that the gear cases receive several squirts Magnalube-G from Saunders Enterprises www.magnalube.com after forty hours of operation.

ATTACHMENT LUBRICATION

The attachments should be greased once a day if used in sustained operation.

Failure to lubricate attachments will cause premature wear and short attachment life.

The grease gun used should fit a alemite #1877 fitting.

We recommend Magnalube-G grease www.magnalube.com for best performance.
