General Information Regarding Air Motors
Air motors operate best with lubricated, dry, clean air at air pressures below 100psi.
Air Lubricator: Lubricated air is typically available from the air system. If not, an automatic lubricator must be installed in
the air- line ahead of the air motor. Use a pneumatic air lubricant e.g. ISO VG32 or detergent SAE #10 automotive oil.
Lubricator should be adjusted to feed one drop of oil for every 50 to 75cfm.
Moisture: Excessive moisture in the air- line can cause rust formation in the motor and ice to form in the muffler. An in-
line separator must be used on your pneumatic system to reduce this.
Air Filter: If the air is dirty this will cause the motor to run sluggishly and can break the motor vanes. An in-line filter must
be used on your pneumatic system to reduce this.
Pressure Regulator: Air motors are designed to operate with a maximum air pressure of 100 psi. If higher air pressure is
supplied, an in-line air pressure regulator should be used to reduce the pressure. This can also be used to vary the speed
of the air motor
Flushing: Should excessive dirt, foreign particles, moisture, or excess oil be permitted to enter the air motor, the unit will
act sluggish. Flushing the air motor should remove this.

WARNING!


1. Disconnect air line and muffler
2. Pour several tablespoons of solvent directly into intake port
3. Rotate shaft by hand in both directions for 3 to 4 minutes
4. Reconnect air line and slowly apply pressure until there is no trace of solvent in the exhaust air
5. Re-lubricate motor with a squirt of oil in chamber
R16 122016
Use only non-combustible solvents.
Do not use kerosene or other flammable solvents to flush the air motor.
Flushing with Flammable solvents could cause fire or explosion and result in serious
injury or property damage.
Using GAST Flushing Solvent AH255D will reduce this concern.
Wear eye protection and flush in a well-ventilated area.
