Maintenance and lubrication

The throttle valve, planetary gears, needle bearings and ball bearings must be lubricated with grease when the tool is dismantled at the regular maintenance. Molycote BR2 Plus gives long intervals between lubrications.

  1. Dismantle the motor, see the Dismantling and assembly section.

  2. Clean the motor parts and apply a thin layer of air lubrication oil onto the vanes and inner surface of cylinder and end plates.

  3. Assemble the motor and make sure that it is running free. Add two drops of oil through the air inlet and run the motor at idling speed for 5-10 seconds.

The strainer in the adapter should be cleaned regularly to prevent choking which will lead to a loss in capacity.
