OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
AIR SUPPLY
To use the CC-325-HP cleaner, it is necessary to use a
compressor with a capacity to supply a sustained air pres-
sure of 90 psi at 200 cfm. It is therefore necessary to use a
air supply hose with a 1” I. D. in order to be sure in having
an adequate volume to the tool. It should also be noted
that long hose runs, air hose quick connects, fittings, etc.
can cause large pressure drops between the tool and the
compressor and that is many cases, poor tool performance
can be improved by minimizing these conditions and/or in-
creasing the air line size (ID).
LUBRICATION
It is essential that an automatic (mist type) in-line filter/lu-
bricator be used and properly maintained to achieve maxi-
mum operating efficiency and motor life with these tools.
Lubricator should be set to deliver 15 to 20 drops of oil per
minute injected into the air line to assure that proper lubri-
cation is going to the motor. Application of the tool should
govern how frequently it is greased. It is recommended
that the drive shaft cavity be filled periodically through the
Zerk fitting (51) on the side of the tool and that the gear
cavity be kept about half filled through the Zerk fitting in the
front cover. Use a good quality, extreme-pressure gear
grease. If the tool is to be run for extended periods without
using water or other scavenging agent, The packing gland
nut can be temporarily loosened or the packing removed
to avoid damage to the packing. The packing should be
kept well lubricated.
FLUSHING AGENT
The model CC-325-HP condenser cleaner motor coupling
as installed upon this machine is designed to operate with
(6000 psi) pressure water or scavenging agent to assist
the mechanical cleaning action of the drill bits in condenser
tubing and similar applications. The water supply hose and
couplings,
NOT SUPPLIED WITH THE TOOL,
should only
be of a recommended type to withstand this amount of pres-
sure. Lower pressure may also be used with this supply
hose. The CC-325-HP uses standard Airetool condenser
cleaner shafting and couplings but requires the use of the
Airetool Model “ HP” condenser cleaner drills for best re-
sults.
SEE PAGE 13 FOR SELECTION.
If the tool is to be
run for extended periods without using water or other scav-
enging agent, The packing gland nut can be temporarily
loosened or the packing removed to avoid damage to the
packing. The packing should be kept well lubricated.
USING THE CC-325-HP CONDENSER
CLEANER
The CC-325-HP condenser cleaner can be used with lower
pressure on the scavenging agent satisfactorily, however,
maximum cleaning is done with pressure at 5000 psi. When
connecting the water connections and the shafting to the
cleaner,
CAUTION
should be taken to make sure that all
joints are tightened properly to prevent the possibility of
leakage of the high pressure. It is recommended that the
water be shut off when the drill bit is not inside the tube to
prevent the possibility of contacting someone with the high
pressure water spray. Therefore, it is recommended that
first the bit be placed in a tube, the water flush be turned on
and then the motor be started to drill each individual tube.
It should also be stated that the cleaner should not be run
for extended periods of time without the scavenging fluid
going through the coupling due to the close fit of the cou-
pling. It will overheat if no fluid is present to help cool the
parts. Periodically, the thrust bearing No. 16 as shown on
the parts list page 7, should be checked to see that there is
proper lubrication on this bearing.
