SECTION 7.0 LUBRICATION
~
CAUTION
Always follow lubricant safety
precautions.
To insure proper operation and tool life,
the Hole-Hog must be lubricated during
use. Allied recommends the use of Allied
Hog Wash lubricant and de-icing agent dis-
pensed by the Allied Air Line Lubricator.
At temperatures below 60
o
F (15
o
C), the use
of a lubricator and de-icing agent is partic-
ularly important.
7.1 Startup
Just prior to operation, purge the supply
hose of any debris and water. Next, pour
approximately 2 ounces (60cc) of Allied
Hog Wash into the hose at the compressor
and at every 100 ft. (30m) interval. This
wets the hose and ensures that lubricant
flows into the Hole-Hog. An initial heavy
mist of lubricant in the exhaust air may be
experienced upon tool startup.
7.2 Normal Operation
During normal Hole-Hog operation, dis-
pense lubricant at the following rate:
•
At temperatures below 40
o
F (5
o
C):
5 to 7 drops per minute.
•
At temperatures above 40
o
F (5
o
C):
3 to 5 drops per minute.
After several minutes of operation at the
proper lubricant rate, the whip hose should
be lightly coated with lubricant. If a heavy
mist of lubricant is continuously present in
the exhaust air, the lubrication rate is too
great. Adjust the lubrication rate accord-
ingly.
7.3 De-Icing
Because the tool is powered by expanding
compressed air, a normal cooling effect in-
side the tool is experienced. Under certain
temperature and humidity conditions, the
moisture in the compressed air can con-
dense and freeze on internal components.
The weather conditions of cool, damp days
are ideal for icing problems to develop.
Icing problems can be minimized by condi-
tioning (heating or drying) the compressed
air prior to delivery to the Hole-Hog. Con-
sult the air compressor manufacturer for
the availability of these accessories.
An early indicator of internal icing is the
presence of ice chips in the air exhaust. Ex-
cessive icing restricts striker movement
which results in erratic or non-per-
formance.
If internal ice buildup is suspected:
1.
Stop the air delivery to the tool.
2.
Wait several minutes to allow the tool
to warm.
3.
Prior to restarting the tool, follow the
instructions in Section 7.1. This step
may need to be repeated if icing is se-
vere.
4.
If icing persists, increase the amount of
lubricant delivered to the Hole-Hog.
The use of a lubricant with a de-icing
agent is extremely important under
these conditions. Allied Hog Wash is
recommended.
