LUBRICATING THE AIR DRIVE MOTOR
After each (40) hours of operation inject 1.5 cc of Ingersoll
Rand No. 28 grease at the Zirc fitting as shown. Do not grease
excessively.
After each (8) hours of continuous operation add ten drops of
Ingersoll Rand No. 10 oil to the grease fitting location (this keeps
the grease from drying out).
