1.15 Lubricating Shaft
Remove wire core
(f)
from shaft casing and wipe with a
clean cloth.
Apply a liberal amount of flex-shaft grease to the entire
length of the core by hand
(g)
. Insert core into casing and
rotate it. Repeat this procedure several times.
CAUTION:
DO NOT
try to force the casing full of grease.
A tightly packed casing will put a heavy load on the motor
and could cause it to overheat.
CAUTION: DO NOT
clean casing or core with solvents.
Excess solvent on casing or core may cause grease to
break down, resulting in damage to shaft.

1.16 Lubricating Head
The bearings in the head are lubricated with oil. To
extend bearing life, change oil in head every 300 hours
of operation.
To change oil:
Place head in a vise and remove tip from casing. If
necessary, add a couple of small spot welds
(h)
on tip to
provide a better grip for wrench. Drain old oil from casing
and add correct quantity of new oil. Refer to section 1.3
Technical Data. Apply pipe sealant to threads on tip and
attach it tightly on casing.
Note:
In the interests of environmental protection, place
a plastic sheet and a container under the machine to
collect any liquid which drains off. Dispose of this liquid
in accordance with environmental protection legislation.
Use only SAE 80W140 synthetic oil or equivalent.
CAUTION: DO NOT
overfill. Too much oil in the head will
overload the motor.
