Press/Thruster Six-Month
Periodic Maintenance
1. Disconnect the generator AC power cord from the AC
line receptacle. Then, remove the thruster left and right
side covers.
2. Check that all socket-head cap screws in the press/
thruster are tight. Check the air cylinder mounting.
3. Wipe or blow away all dirt and grease in the press/
thruster.
4. Wipe away all excess oil and any dirt accumulation,
especially at the exhaust openings in the transducer
housing. There should be very little, if any, oil accu-
mulation at the air exhaust opening. We recommend
that no oil get into the press/thruster pneumatics.
Regular accumulation of oil at the air exhaust opening
means that some oil is getting into the pneumatics. To
rectify this problem, route the air for the press/thruster
through an "oil mist reclassifier".
5. Check the press/thruster slide operation for smooth
downward motion. Wipe away any accumulated
grease, but do not apply any solvents. If movement is
not smooth, the lower bearing may be greased with
AFB lithium grease in the standard grease fitting
provided.
6. Ensure that all wire and cable connections are secure
in the press/thruster and are not rubbing or showing
wear. If they do show wear or rubbing then reroute to
eliminate the problem.
7. Remount and secure the press/thruster covers and
reconnect the generator AC power cord to the AC line
receptacle.
