WARNING
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts, such as an impeller blade,
can pinch or amputate fingers. To
reduce risk of injury or damage to equip-
ment, always disconnect power from the agitator
before performing maintenance or service.
WARNING
HOT SURFACE HAZARD
During operation, the motor and the
shaft near the motor can get hot enough
to cause burns if touched. When working
with such equipment, wear appropriate protective
gloves and clothing. Allow the motor to cool for at
least one hour before touching either the motor or
the shaft.
Check Screw and Bolt Tightness
Within the first two weeks of operation, check all cap
screws and set screws to make sure they are tight.
Retighten as required.
Routine Periodic Maintenance
Check all cap screws and retighten them at least every
six months or during down times if they occur more
frequently.
Gear Housing Grease Check
NOTE: This procedure does not pertain to hydraulic
models.
The gear housing is factory filled with grease; this
grease normally does not need to be changed, unless
ambient air conditions are harsh, or unless some other
service is being performed.
Harsh air conditions, including high humidity, dusty or
chemical laden air, or widely varying air temperatures,
can increase the deterioration of the grease. If harsh
conditions are present, check the grease at least every
six months for deterioration. If necessary, replace the
grease. See the Gear Reducer Lubrication heading
in the Service section.

Maintenance
Use only Mobil Mobilith SHC 007 lubricant to
lubricate the gear housing. The use of any other
may cause part deterioration or inadequate
performance.
Power Supply System Check
Check your power supply system equipment regularly
and repair or replace worn or damaged parts immedi-
ately. Have supply system maintenance performed by
a qualified technician only.
Air Motor Flush
If the air motor performs sluggishly, try flushing with a
suitable solvent (recommended solvents include Gast
Flushing Solvent AH255, Loctite Safety Solvent,
Inhibisol Safety Solvent, or Dow Chemical Chloro-
thane).
to splashing in the eyes, ingestion, or bodily con-
tamination. See Toxic Fluids Hazard on page 2.
To flush the air motor:
1. Shut off air supply to the motor, and disconnect air
line from motor.
2. Pour several teaspoons of solvent directly into
motor through the air inlet.
3. Rotate the motor by hand, if possible, in both
directions, for a few minutes.
4. Reconnect the air line. Open air valve, and slowly
open needle valve until no solvent is exhausted.
If the air motor performance is still sluggish, repeat the
procedure. Continued sluggish performance may
require repair or replacement of the motor to correct
