Operation
Provide clean, dry air to the agitator.
CAUTION
Not lubricating the air motor will cause air motor failure.
For automatic lubrication of the agitator’s air motor, install
an air line lubricator. Set the lubricator feed rate at 1 drop
of oil per minute for high speed or continuous duty usage.
Do not overfeed oil or exhaust air may become
contaminated. To manually lubricate the air motor, see
Lubricating the Air Motor
on page 6.
To order a 3/8”
npt air line lubricator, order Part No. 214847.
Use the needle valve (201) to control the speed of the
motor. Do not exceed 0.7 MPa (7 bar, 100 psi) air
pressure. Always use the lowest agitator speed
necessary to thoroughly mix the material. Excessive
speeds cause the fluid to aerate.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious, including amputation
of fingers or splashing fluid in the eyes or on the
skin, always fully close the agitator needle valve
(201) and disconnect the agitator air line before
raising the drum cover, and before checking or
repairing the agitator.
