3.Cleaning the Oil Tank(Fig.
30)
The oil tank is designed to prevent fine chips and dust from being sucked into
the oil pump. However, these fine chips and dust will collect in the tank,
so the interior of the tank should be cleaned often. This will improve the flow of
threading oil and prolong the life of the pump.
The tank is designed to hold 0.39gallons( l .5liters) of threading oil. For best
results, use genuine Wheeler-REX pipe threading oil.
•Procedure
(I)
Grasp the tank lid and the edges of the scrap receiver and pull up to remove.
(2) Remove tank partition and clean away any chips and dust sticking to them.
(3) Remove the drain plug to drain the threading oil from the tank.
(4) When all of the chips and dust that have collected in the tank have been
discharged, replace the drain plug. Then replace the tank partitions and fill
with threading oil.
4.Chuck Configuration and Care
(Fig.
31)
The chuck jaw insert on the end of the chuck should be kept clean. Use a wire
brush or the like to clean away any grime that clogs it. When the chuck jaw
insert needs replacing, contact your distributor or Wheeler-Rex.
Note: When replacing the chuck and chuck jaw insert, be sure to replace them
with Wheeler-Rex original parts only.
