Overhaul and lubrication
The tool should be checked regularly at six-monthly intervals. If it is in heavy duty service or not running properly, it should be taken out of service more often for inspection.
Regarding instruction for dismantling and assembly, see separate Service Manual.
The throttle valve, planetary gears, needle bearings and ball bearings must be lubricated with grease when the tool is dismantled for the regular overhauls. Molykote BR2 Plus gives long intervals between lubrications.
Clean the motor parts and apply a thin layer of air lubrication
oil onto the vanes and inner surface of cylinder and end plates.
Assemble
the motor and check that it is running free. Add two drops of oil
through the air inlet and run the motor (machine) at idling speed
for 5-10 seconds.
The strainer in the adapter should be cleaned regularly to prevent choking with resultant decrease in capacity
