AIR MOTOR LUBRICATION
Use detergent SAE #10 automotive engine oil. Consult with you local supplier of
lubricants or contact your local Spraying Systems CO
.
®
sales office.
NOTE: The air source must be water free, and be properly lubricated to prevent rust and
excessive friction from wearing out the motor prematurely. If the air motor is properly
taken care of, it should last for many cleaning cycles before repair or replacement.
Manual Lubrication:
Add 10-20 drops of oil, every 8 hours of operation, to air motor
through inlet port while air source is shut down.
Automatic Lubrication:
Inline air lubricator (page 8) should be adjusted to feed 1 drop per
minute for high speed or continuous duty use. Do not over feed oil as contamination of exhaust
air may result.
