REMOVAL PROCEDURES CONTINUED
Step Six:
flip unit over on its back and remove the front motor assembly bolts with a 7/16” socket.
Step Seven: use a 9/16” deep socket to remove the remaining brass hex fittings from the motor.
Step eight: rotate unit 180º onto its face. remove the three rear motor assembly bolts with the 7/16” socket.
fish out the rear motor end plate with an offset screw driver.
Note: a grounding wire is attached to the end plate bolt located between the two air motor fittings.
CAUTION:
be sure to note the location of all grounding wires, wahsers and star washers before
removing. reattached assemblies to the same location from which they were removed in
order to safeguard proper ground continuity.
Step Nine: the motor is now detached from the mounting assembly. carefully slip out of the housing for
repair. tape over the air fittings holes to prevent debris from falling into the motor while it is out
of the housing.
Step ten:
Decide if you want to ship the motor to the factory for repair, order a service kit that you can
install or purchase a new motor. Please contact the factory at the number listed on the front of this
manual to obtain parts, secure a return authorization or receive technical assistance.
REINSTALLING THE AIR MOTOR INTO THE VAF-3000P HOUSING
Step one:
Prepare motor for installation by removing the shipping plugs from the air motor ports. lay the
Vaf-3000P face down on a firm work surface.
Step two:
carefully position air motor into the housing assembly with the motor shaft through the front
mounting plate. be sure to align the air fitting holes of the motor and housing so that the fittings
can be installed into the motor through the housing.
Step three: coat threaded joints with loctite #545 Pneumatic Seal or equivalent product to insure leak free
installation of air fittings. install the two brass hex nipples into the air motor and tighten with a
9/16” deep socket.
Step four: Stand unit on base with front facing you. attach motor to front housing plate with three 7/16”
bolts while maneuvering the motor into position from the rear. tighten securely with a 7/16”
socket.
Step five:
lay unit with the rear of motor facing up. install
the rear end plate by using a nail or other object
to align end plate, grounding stud ring and
threaded hole.
Note: the bolt to which the grounding wire must be
attached is located between the two air fittings.
Secure the three mounting bolts by tightening with a
7/16” socket.
CAUTION:
failure to reattach grounding stud ring to the same location from which it was removed will
break ground continuity and allow the accumulation of static electricity.
