BEARING ASSEMBLY –
It is important that the thrust bearing be lubricated with SSG-LUBE available thru
Sherex
.
The bearing assembly and mandrel (socket head cap screws) are located in the nose piece of the tool. Lubricate as needed,
bearing should not run dry. Remove the nose piece & proceed as follows:
1)
Remove the bearing & socket head cap screw.
2)
Separate the bearing from the races & lubricate. Work grease into bearing.
Replace socket head cap screw if
worn or damaged
. Use only high quality grade 8/Class 12.9 socket head cap screws, part number are listed on
page 27 of the
Sherex
catalog.
3)
Reassemble.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
–
1) LUBRICATE MANDREL
. In some applications it may be advisable to dip the first one or two threads of the
mandrel into a light oil after several installations to minimize wear.
2) HANDLE WITH ORDINARY CARE
. A large number of tool repairs can be traced to improper
handling. In spite of their durable appearance, air tools should not be used as hammers or pry bars, nor should they
be deliberately dropped or dragged along the floor.
3) IF LINE OILER
is not used, apply a small amount of Spindle Oil in the air inlet of the tool and run free for one
minute to insure proper lubrication; repeat after 8 hours of operation.
CAUTION:
An excessive amount of lubricant in a tool will affect the speed and power. Each set of planetary gearing
should contain approximately ½ ounce of grease.

AIR PRESSURE TROUBLE-SHOOTING: CHECKING SUPPLY AND FITTINGS
If recommended pressures cannot be obtained, the supply system should be checked. Some things to look for are:
1)
Inadequate compressor capacity.
2)
Improper pipe sizes (I.D. too restrictive).
3)
Restrictions caused by fittings with I.D.’s too small. See note above.
4)
Be sure hose and quick disconnect fittings have 5/16” I.D.
5)
Shut-off valves. It is best to use stop cock type, which lessens restrictions.
6)
Improper coupler and quick disconnect. Use only those with good flow characteristics and assure that they mate correctly.
7)
Filter-regulator-lubricator should be compatible, properly sized and maintained.
8)
Clogged filter.
