Use a puller to remove pulleys, pinions and couplings. Check if the tension on the belt
pulley matches the specifications of the manufacture. Do not exceed the maximum
radial and axial forces on the shaft. If the motor shaft is connected to the part to be
driven without a coupling, check that the radial offset and axial force effect will not
cause problems.
Use only belts with <100 electrical leakage resistance to prevent static electrical
problems.
»
Air supply to the motor should always be
taken from non-hazardous area.
»
Remove the plastic shipping plugs from the
ports. Save the plugs for the future, during
shutdown.
»
Please make sure that the temperature of the
air used for air supply to the air motor don’t
exceed the following temperatures, -20°C to
+40°C.
»
Install a filter (64 micron) to make sure the air
is clean and dry and install an air pressure
regulator to control motor speed and torque.
»
A lubricator must be placed inside the main
airline near the motor. The lubricator unit
should have a bowl with enough oil for ope-
ration and should allow the user to control
the amount of oil drop per minute going to
the motor. Check airline oil every time before
starting. Air motor should be supplied with
oil of a viscosity of 32. This type of oil is
flammable at a temperature of 218°C.
»
Air quality should meet ISO 8573-1:2010
class 4 for solid particles and ISO 8473-
1:2010 class 3 for water.
»
For the most efficient power and control of
speed, all valves and the airlines should be
the same size as the air connections of the
motor. If the valves, airlines and other con-
nections have a longer distance than 2m (6
feet) of the motor we advise one size bigger.
»
Before final connection to the motor, clean the
compressed air connection with low pressure
air to remove any dirt inside the line before
connecting to the ports of the air motor.
»
A silencer is supplied with the motor. When
installed ensure that condensation cannot run
back into the motor port. Mount the air motor
with silencer pointed down or make extra
piping on the silencer.
»
If the motor unit is not used for a longer
period it is advisable to store the unit indoors
remove the silencer and plug the exhaust
port. See also shut down and long storage at
maintenance.

The airline lubricator should be replenished
when needed and set to give the following
required drop rate/min:
Do not use a hammer on the shaft or body of the motor.
