Always turn off the air supply, bleed the air pressure and disconnect the air supply hose when not in use, before installing, removing or 

adjusting any accessory on this tool, or before performing any maintenance on this tool or any accessory.

Do not use this tool if the actual free speed exceeds the rated rpm. Check the free speed of this tool before mounting any accessories, after all 

tool repairs, before each job and after every 8 hours of use. Check speed with a calibrated tachometer, without the abrasive product installed.

Note:

 

When reading the instructions, refer to exploded diagrams in Parts Information Manuals when applicable (see under Related Documentation 

for form numbers).

Lubrication

Each time a Series 99V Vertical Air Grinder is disassembled for 

maintenance and repair or replacement of parts, lubricate the tool 

as follows:

Inject approximately 1.5 cc of 

Ingersoll Rand

 No. 50 Oil into the 

Inlet Bushing (5) after assembly. 

For models with a built-in oiler,

 

fill the chamber of the Oiler Assembly (23). After each eight hours 

of operation, replenish the oil supply.

1.

If the Grinder is used in an extremely dirty environment, 

once in each 

week or after each forty hours of operation,

 pour a liberal amount 

of a clean, suitable cleaning solution into the slots in the handle. Work 

the throttle lever vigorously to wash the cleaning solution around, and 

then pour the solution and accumulated dirt from the handle. Repeat 

this process until the cleaning solution is clean when it comes out 

of the handle. Immediately after flushing with the cleaning solution, 

inject a liberal amount of 

Ingersoll Rand

 No. 50 Oil in the slots and 

again work the throttle lever vigorously to lubricate the cleaned parts.

2.

Oiler Adjustment (for models with built-in oiler)

The built-in lubricator has been properly adjusted at the factory. If 

the oiler felts are clogged and must be replaced, proceed as follows:

Remove the grinding wheel. Remove the Cylinder Case  

Screws (52), the Lock Washers (51), the Cylinder Case Gasket (48), 

the two Motor Clamp Washers (47) and the Guard.

1.

With a thin blade screwdriver, remove the Oiler Adjusting  

Screw (25) from the Oiler Assembly (23).

Using tweezers or a piece of bent wire, remove the Oiler Felts (24) 

and install new ones.

Replace the Oiler Adjusting Screw, installing it slightly below flush.

Disassembly
General Instructions

Do not disassemble the tool any further than necessary to replace 

or repair damaged parts.

Whenever grasping a tool or a part in a vise, always use leather-

covered or copper-covered vise jaws to protect the surface of 

the part and help prevent distortion. This is particularly true of 

threaded members and housings.

Do not remove any part which is a press fit in or on a subassembly 

unless the removal of that part is necessary for repairs or 

replacement.

Do not disassemble the tool unless you have a complete set of 

new gaskets and O-rings for replacements.

Disassembly of the Motor

Grasp the Dead Handle (27) of the Grinder in leather-covered or 

copper-covered vise jaws, Guard up.

Remove the Cylinder Case Screws (52), the Lock Washers (51), the 

Cylinder Case Gasket (48), the two Motor Clamp Washers (47) and 

the Guard.

Grasp the Arbor (29) in the vise and lift the Cylinder Case to 

expose the motor.

Remove the Exhaust Silencer (39).

For models with a built-in oiler, 

take the tool from the vise and 

dump the oil from its reservoir. The Oiler Assembly (23) can be 

pulled from the Cylinder Case, if necessary.

CAUTION

Use only the special No. 99V60-950 Controller Wrench 

for removing the Controller Assembly. Do not attempt to 

disassemble the Controller. It is available only as a unit and is 

guaranteed for the life of the tool if it is not abused.

NOTICE

The Controller Assembly (42) has a left-hand thread and the 

Controller Nut (46) has a right-hand thread.

9.  Remove the Vanes (35).

10. Withdraw the Rotor (34) followed by the Rotor Key (33).

11. Lift off the Front End Plate (31).

12. If the Front Rotor Bearing (30) is to be replaced, press it and the 

Arbor from the Front End Plate. Press off the Bearing from the 

Arbor.

13. Set the Controller on blocks in an arbor press. Using a round 

piece of metal fitting the inner race of the Rear Rotor Bearing, 

press off the Rear Rotor Bearing Cage (45).

14. Insert the Controller into the 99V60-A952 Bearing Clamp and 

tighten the nut on the fixture. Insert the 99V60-A951 Seal 

Pressing Tool in the center and press off the Controller. Release 

the clamp.

Disassembly of the Throttle and Inlet for Models  

without a built-in oiler

Place the Cylinder Case in the vise to remove the Inlet Bushing (5), 

Inlet Bushing Screen (5A) and the Throttle Valve Spring (6). The 

Bushing has an interference thread and is tightly fit.

Drive out the Throttle Lever Pin (14) to release the Lever  

Assembly (15).

Using a 3/32” hex wrench, reach inside the handle and remove 

the Valve Seat Screw (13) from the Throttle Valve Seat Support 

Assembly (7).

Thread a No. 8-32 screw about 5” (127 mm) long into the throttle 

valve seat support in place of the removed valve seat screw. A 

piece of 5/32” welding rod can be threaded on one end to serve 

the same purpose.

Grasp the protruding end of the screw in a vise, and while tapping 

lightly on the housing or handle with a plastic hammer, pull on 

the housing or handle to withdraw the throttle parts.

The Air Strainer Screen (8) can now be removed and cleaned.
