Installation
Hoses and connections
A. Compressed air source
B.
Water separator (optional)
C. Oiler (optional)
D.
Max. 10 feet (3 meter) compressed air hose
between the oiler and the machine.
♦ Check that you are using the correct
recommended operating pressure, 87 psig (6 bar
(e)).
♦
The maximum permissible air pressure, 90 psig
(6.2 bar (e)), must not be exceeded.
♦
Blow any impurities out of the compressed air
hose before connecting it to the machine.
♦
Select the correct dimension and length for the
compressed air hose. For hose lengths up to 100
feet (30 meters), a hose with a minimum internal
diameter of
3 ⁄
4
" (19 mm) should be used. If the
hose length is between 100 and 330 feet (30 and
100 meters), a hose with a minimum internal
diameter of 1" (25 mm) should be used.
Water flushing
For diamond bit core drilling water flushing is
required. Mount the water swivel and water hose
on the core drill as follows.
♦
Lock the spindle (A) using a 1" open spanner.
♦
Screw the water swivel (B) on to the spindle
(
45 ⁄
64
"-16 thread) using a 30 mm open spanner.
The water swivel is designed for a maximal water
pressure of 2 bar(e).
♦
Connect the ½" water hose (C) to the nipple on
the water swivel and lock it in place with a hose
clamp. To choose a suitable water swivel, see the
spare parts list.
Methods to prevent freezing
Ice formation in the machine can occur when the
ambient air temperature is 32-50 °F (0-10 °C) and
the relative humidity is high.
The machine is designed to avoid the formation of
ice. Despite this, under extreme conditions ice can
form in the machine.
The following actions can be taken to further
counteract the risk of ice formation:
♦ Use an air tool oil containing antifreeze agents.
♦
Use a water separator.
