Maintenance
The accessory air line oiler (D) provides automatic air motor lubrication. For daily manual lubrication, disconnect the
air hose, place about 15 drops of light machine oil in the air inlet, reconnect the hose, and turn on the air supply to
blow oil into the motor.
Troubleshooting
Before servicing this equipment always make sure to
relieve the pressure, see Pressure Relieve Procedure,
page 7.
NOTE: Check all possible problems and solutions
before disassembling the pump.
* Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure (page 7) and disconnect the fluid line. If the pump starts when the air is
turned back on, the fluid line, hose, valve, etc., was clogged.
