Section 4: Maintenance
It is highly recommended to practice regular check-ups and maintenance in accordance with the usage
frequency to keep your tool in better condition and reduces total running costs.
Complete disassembly of the Impact Wrench
is not
recommended. Return to Racine Railroad for repairs.
All maintenance must be done with the tool disconnected from a
power source.
•
Wipe all external surfaces after each use with a clean, lint free cloth to remove surface contaminants
from the tool.
•
To extend the life of the handle padding, do not allow sharp edges or foreign objects to rub on the
padding.
•
Store all tools in an enclosed area to prevent weather from contaminating their systems.
Daily
1. Wipe all tool surfaces, fittings, and couplings free of grease, dirt, and foreign materials.
Do not attempt to locate hydraulic leaks by feeling around hoses
and fittings with your hands. Pinhole leaks can penetrate the skin.
2. Inspect the tool, hydraulic system, hoses, and fittings for signs of leaks, cracks, wear, and/or damage.
Replace if necessary.
3. To prevent contamination, always install dust caps over the hydraulic ports when disconnected.
Weekly
1. Grease the impact mechanism using the grease zerk located on top of the motor adapter plate.
2. Apply 2 to 3 strokes (approximately 4 cc /ml) from a standard grease gun using a suitable grease.
Grease leakage from around the square drive is common after lubrication and during hard use. Wipe
the grease off to prevent it from splattering all over.
