Operation and Maintenance Guide 6 VM Air Motor Series
Warning
Check the site to make sure that the Vane
motor will be adequately ventilated and that
there is no external heat input.
Caution
Completely turn off the Vane motor and
disconnect air supply line before attempting
any service. Read Assembly and Dis-assembly
instructions.
Warning
Do not use a hammer on the shaft or
connections.
Do Not dis-assemble in explosive atmosphere.
Warning
Take care not to exceed the supply air pressure
maximum 7kg/cm²(100 psi) for Lubricated
and maximum 5.6 kg/cm²(80 psi) for Lube-
free .
Caution
Do not exert excessive pressure against the
work surface. Keep hoses in good condition.
Check hoses for signs of wear, cracks & bulges
and ensure that they are secure. Accidental
disconnection while hose is pressurized makes
the hose whip and can be a safety hazard.
Caution
• Please check the hose connection prior to
starting motor
• Keep hands & clothing away from
moving parts.
• Store these Vane motors in secure & dry
environment.
• Do not modify this Vane motor in any way
as this will invalidate the warranty and
could lead to serious injury.
• Do not drag this Vane motor by air hose.
Installation Instructions
An automatic air line lubricator should be in-
stalled in the air line as close as possible and no
more than 18inches (1/2 meter) from the air
motor. Install the lubricator level with or above
the air motor so that the oil mist will blow direct-
ly into or fall down into the motor. Install a ilter
in the air line before the connection to the motor.
Next install an air pressure regulator to control
motor speed and torque.
Clean the compressed air connection with low
pressure air to remove any dirt from the line
before connecting to the ports. Use the proper
sized fasteners. For the most efficient output and
control of speed, use air lines that are the same
size as the motor inlet port if the connection is
less than 7 feet (2 meters). For longer connec-
tions, use the next pipe size larger than the motor
intake port. Connect lines to motor in the proper
direction
