LUBRICATION
IRAX
No. 50 IRAX No. 100
Always use an air line lubricator with these tools.
We recommend the following Filter-Lubricator-Regulator
Unit:
For USA - IRAX No. C31-06-G00
For International - IRAX No. FRL30-C6-A29
After each eight hours of operation, unless an air line
lubricator is used, inject approximately 1 to 2 cc of
IRAX No. 50 Oil into the air inlet before attaching the air
hose.
After each forty-eight hours of operation, or as
experience indicates, inject about 4 cc of IR4X No. 100
Grease into the Grease Fitting (12).
INSTALLATION
Air Supply and Connections
Use clean, dry air at 90 psig maximum. Dust, corrosive
fumes and/or excessive moisture can ruin the motor of an
air tool. An air line filter can greatly increase the life of an
air tool. The filter removes dust and moisture.
Be sure all hoses and fittings are the correct size and are
tightly secured. See Dwg. TPD905-1 for a typical piping
arrangement.
