Lubrication

AII ball bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed. They require no further lubrication.

The hydraulic oil is the primary medium for transmitting pressure and must lubricate the running

parts of the pump.

1. Use hydraulic oil #68 SHELL BRAND or an equivalent with similar specifications.

2. Keep hydraulic reservoir filled to 90% of capacity.

3. DO NOT rely totally on the oil gauge as they can sometimes indicate an incorrect level

reading. Do a visual inspection with the oil fill cap removed as well.

4. A shortage of hydraulic oil will cause hydraulic system breakdown to major mechanical

components due to overheating.

5. Change the hydraulic oil every 12 months along with the oil filter.

Used oil products must be disposed of in a proper manner following your local regulations.

• Clean the drain screens on the machine base and the drains on the ends of the table.

• Drain and wash out the dirt and debris from the reservoir.

• Thoroughly clean the pump and pump inlet.

• Fill the tank with coolant solution.

Any 10:1 (water to coolant) solution will work, however we recommend Baileigh Coolant 20:1

(water to coolant) biodegradable metal cutting fluid. It has excellent cooling and heat transfer

characteristics, is non-flammable, and extends tool and machine life. Each gallon of concentrate

makes 21 gallons of coolant.

Start with clean and dry. Follow your compressor manufacturer's instructions for proper

maintenance, filtering, and moisture control and removal.

Use a 10W pneumatic air tool oil in an oiler set at the lowest setting to provide enough oil to the

system to maintain good lubrication. Once started, do not allow the air system to run dry.
