NOTE: Adding oil to the air motor will result in some oil being present in the exhaust air. Motor Lubrication Graco does not require lubrication beyond the grease installed at the factory or through regular maintenance. With good quality compressed air and normal ambient conditions XL air motors will run millions of cycles without additional lubrication.

Troubleshooting Ice In Air Motor When compressed air is exhausted, the sudden drop in To minimize ice build-up: pressure causes the air temperature to drop below the • Lower the dew point of the compressed air. Use a freezing point. This causes any water liquid or vapor to refrigerated air dryer, coalescing filter, or desiccant turn to ice.
