CAUTION identies a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury or property and environmental damage.
All personnel involved with the installation, operation or maintenance of these tools must read and
understand all safety instructions contained in this manual. Failure to comply with these instructions
could result in serious injury or property damage.
These safety instructions are not intended to be all inclusive. Study and comply with all applicable
National, State and Local regulations.
ÚEnsure there is enough space in the work area.
ÚKeep the work area clean.
ÚKeep the work area well ventilated.
Personnel Safety:
ÚInspect the air supply hoses and ttings. Do not use damaged, frayed or deteriorated hoses.
ÚMake sure the air supply hose is securely attached to the tool.
ÚInstall adequate guards for all moving parts of the power motor or it’s application.
PL70-1046EN

Safety working with and around power motors:
ÚMake sure the motor is securely mounted to the application.
ÚMake sure the output spindle is fully engaged with the application.
ÚDisconnect the air supply before servicing the motor
The MA3 series motors are a ve cylinder radial piston type. This radial design, with it’s overlap of
power impulses, provides even torque at all speeds and full power in either direction of rotation. At least
two pistons are always on a power stroke.
These motors are designed for continuous service on 60-100 PSI air pressure. If overloaded beyond
their power capacity, the motor will simply stall without causing any damage.
ÚMake sure the air line is clean and free of scale and dirt before connecting to the motor.
ÚMake sure all pipe fittings are securely tightened to prevent air leaks.
ÚMake sure the air supply is securely attached and the compressor is turned on.
ÚMake sure the output spindle is properly engaged with the application.
ÚMake sure all necessary guards are in place to protect operator from rotating mechanisms.
Continuous Operation: Do not operate the MA3 motors faster than 65% of free speed. Install a filter/lubricator unit in the air line as close as possible to the MA2 motor.

First Operation
Intermittent Operation: The splash lubrication from the motor case will be adequate.
If an excessive amount of water is found in the air line, a water trap should be installed to trap as
much as possible before it reaches the MA3 motor.

Maintenance
Interval
Daily
Visual inspection of air supply hose and connections
Inspect airline filter, regulator and lubricator for proper operation
Check the tool for excessive vibration or unusual noises
Visual inspection of all external components of the tool
Weekly
Inspect the air hose for damage or wear
inspect the output spindle for damage or wear
Inspect the breather cap to make sure it is not plugged, clean or replace
Remove the motor case drain plug to allow water and condensate to drain out
Check oil levels in the motor case and gear case, add as necessary
Only qualied and trained personnel are permitted to perform maintenance on these motors.
Regular maintenance reduces operating faults, repair costs and downtime. In addition to the following
service schedule, implement a safetu related maintenance program that takes the local regulations for
repair and maintenance for all operating phases of the motor into account.

8.2 Lubricants
For proper function and long service life, use of the correct lubricant is essential.
Oil identification
Fill the motor to the proper level before operating.
Use engine oil API Service Classified “SC” in the following weights:
Above 32° F: SAE 30W•
Below 32° F: SAE 10W•
If the air line carries an excessive amount of water and a water trap cannot be installed, use a good
grade of motor oil that will emulsify with water to prevent damage to vital parts of the motor.
Oil quantity
Approximately 1 quart of oil is required to fill the motor case to the proper oil level. Approximately
1 quart of oil is required to fill the gear case to the proper oil level. The oil must flow at all times to
properly lubricate the motor components, gears and bearings.
To check the MA3 for proper oil level, open the oil level pet cock. If oil does not flow from the pet
cock, add the proper oil until oil begins to flow. Securely tighten the oil level pet cock.
Remove the oil drain plug in the motor case occasionally and drain off accumulated water before
adding new oil.
Install the pin (DP114) into the motor case until approximately 1/8” is exposed in the distributing valve
bushing hole.
Install the valve bushing (MA311) into the motor case counterbore until it is ush with the inside edge of
the counterbore. The valve bushing has a slot to enable proper alignment during assembly.
The valve bushing must be placed in a freezer, for a period of time, before assembling into the
motor case. This will cause the bushing to contract allowing easier assembly into the motor
case.
