be generated in the use of certain hand-held tools may produce
Raynaud’s phenomenon, commonly referred to as Whitefinger
disease. The phenomenon produces numbness and burning
sensations in the hand and may cause circulation and nerve damage as well as tissue necrosis. Repetitive users of hand-held
tools who experience vibrations should closely monitor duration
of use and their physical condition.
The use of other than genuine ARO replacement parts may
result in safety hazards, decreased tool performance and increased maintenance and may invalidate all warranties.
ARO is not responsible for customer modification of tools for
applications on which ARO was not consulted.
Tool maintenance and repair should be performed by autho-
rized, trained, competent personnel. Consult your nearest
ARO authorized servicenter.
It is the responsibility of the employer to place the information

ROUTINE LUBRICATION REQUIREMENTS
Lack of or an excessive amount of lubrication will affect the performance and life of this tool. Use only recommended lubricants at
below time intervals:
EVERY 8 HOURS OF TOOL OPERATION-Fill lubricator reservoir of recommended F.R.L. with spindle oil (29665). If an in line or
air line lubricator is not used, apply several drops of spindle oil
(29665) in air inlet.
EVERY 160 HOURS OF TOOL OPERATION - Lubricate gearing. Pack bearings, coat shafts and lubricate gears with NLGI #1
“EP” grease (33153). Gearing should contain approximately 3/64
oz. (1.3 g) of grease.
AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
For maximum operating efficiency, the following air supply specifications should be maintained to this air tool:
l
AIR PRESSURE - 90 p.s.i.g. (6.2 bar)
l
AIR FILTRATION - 50 micron
l
LUBRICATED AIR SUPPLY
l
HOSE SIZE - 5/16” (8 mm) I.D.
An ARO® model C28231-810 air line FILTER / REGULATOR / LUBRICATOR (F.R.L.) is recommended to maintain the above air
supply specifications.
Tool maintenance and repair shall be performed by authorized,
trained, competent personnel. Tools, hose and fittings shall be replaced if unsuitable for safe operation and responsibility should
be assigned to be sure that all tools requiring guards or other safety devices shall be kept in legible condition. Maintenance and repair records should be maintained on all tools. Frequency of
repair and the nature of the repairs can reveal unsafe application.
Scheduled maintenance by competent authorized personnel
should detect any mistreatment or abuse of the tool and worn
parts. Corrective action should be taken before returning the tool
for use.
Disassembly should be done on a clean work bench with a clean
cloth spread to prevent the loss of small parts. After disassembly
is completed, all parts should be thoroughly washed in a clean solvent, blown dry with air and inspected for wear levels, abuse and
contamination. Double sealed or shielded bearings should never
be placed in solvent unless a good method of m-lubricating the
bearing is available. Open bearings may be washed but should
not be allowed to spin while being blown dry.
Upon reassembling, lubricate parts where required. Use 33153
grease, or equivalent, in bearings. Use 36460 lubricant for “0”
ring assembly. When assembling “0” rings or parts adjacent “0”
rings, care must be exercised to prevent damage to the rubber
sealing surfaces. A small amount of grease will usually hold steel
balls and other small parts in place while assembling.
When replacement parts are necessary, consult drawing containing the part for identification.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS
After disassembly is complete, all parts, except sealed or shielded
bearings, should be washed with solvent. To relubricate parts, or
for routine lubrication, use the following recommended lubricants:
Where Used ARO Part # Description
Air Motor 29665 1 qt Spindle Oil
“0” Rings & Lip Seals 36460
Gears and Bearings
33153 5 lb. “EP” - NLGI #1 Grease
4 oz. Stringy Lubricant
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND INSTALLATION
Disconnect air supply from the tool or shut off air supply and exhaust (drain) line of compressed air before performing maintenance or service to the tool.
It is important that the tools be serviced and inspected at regular
intervals for maintaining safe, trouble-free operation of the tool.
Be sure the tool is receiving adequate lubrication, as failure to Iubricate can create hazardous operating conditions resulting from
excessive wear.
Be sure that the air supply lines and connectors are of proper size
to provide a sufficient quantity of air to the tool.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or excessive
moisture can damage the motor of an air tool. An air line filter can
greatly increase the life of an air tool. The filter removes rust,
scale, moisture and other debris from the air lines. Low air pressure (less than 90 p.s.i.g.) reduces the speed of the air tool. High
air pressure (more than 90 p.s.i.g.) raises performance beyond
the rated capacity of the tool and could cause injury. Shown below
is a typical piping arrangement.
