Lubrication

Always use an air line lubricator with this motor. We 
recommend the following Filter-Regulator-Lubricator Unit 
(FRL):

For USA - No. C22-04-G00
For International - No. C26-C4-A29

After each forty hours of operation

, or as experience 

indicates, inject 1.5 cc of 

Ingersoll-Rand

 No. 28 Grease into 

the Grease Fitting (44). Do not grease excessively. Too much 
grease in the Gear Case will cause heating. Grease leakage 
from the spindle end is also an indication that an excessive 
amount of grease has accumulated within the Gear Case.

Installation

Always use clean dry air at 90 psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa) 
maximum air pressure. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or 
excessive moisture can ruin the motor of an air tool. An air 
line filter can greatly increase the life of an air tool. The filter 
removes the dust and moisture. Be sure all hoses and fittings 
are the correct size and tightly secured. See Drawing 
TPD905-2 for a typical piping arrangement. 

(Dwg. TPD905-2)

It is important that the motor be serviced and inspected at 
regular intervals to maintain safe, trouble-free operation of 
the motor.

Tools, hose and fittings shall be replaced if unsuitable for 
safe operation and responsibility should be assigned to 
ensure that all tools requiring guards or other safety devices 
are kept in operating condition. Maintenance and repair 
records should be maintained on all tools. Frequency of 
repair and the nature of the repairs can reveal improper 
application or use. Scheduled maintenance by competent 
authorized personnel should detect any mistreatment or 
abuse of the motor and worn parts. Corrective action should 
be taken before returning the motor for use.

When replacement parts are necessary, consult Maintenance 
Section for part identification.

Maintenance Instructions

When removing a Spindle Planet Gear Shaft (50) from the 
Spindle (48), always press it out so that it is ejected at the 
short hub end of these parts. Likewise, when installing a 
Shaft, start it into the narrow flange at the short hub end. This 
is important, as the shaft holes are slightly tapered, so the 
Shaft fits much tighter in the front, or wide, flange of the 
Spindle.

Spindle Planet Gear Bearings (52) must be installed with 
care to avoid distorting or fracturing the thin shell surrounding 
the needles. Use a bearing inserting tool, as shown in 
Drawing TPD786, when installing a needle bearing. Press 
only on the stamped end of the bearing. Press one bearing 
from each end of the hole when two bearings are used in one 
gear. Never use one bearing as an anchor for installing the 
second bearing.

Periodically check the Regulator Mounting Screws (29), Gear 
Case Mounting Screws (46) and Adapter Mounting Screws 
(55) for tightness.
