Verify that there is adequate grease in the gear box. Lubricate bearing and gears with a high string utility grease (P/N 68-0024). Disassembly of a power unit voids the warranty, except when performed by a Tri Tool Technologies designated repair technician (a letter of designation is required).
Page 21
Model 208B BEVELMASTER™ Check Lubrication Figure 2: Locations That Need Grease Air Motor Lubrication No maintenance is usually required on the air motor. However, the air supply must flow through a filter/regulator/lubricator (FRL) unit or separate units before arriving at the air motor. The FRL unit must be maintained as required (frequency dependent on the basic air supply) to keep the water trap drained, filter cleaned, and the lubricator oil reservoir filled so that a drop of oil every 2 to 5 seconds is flowing.
Page 22
The air motor requires a Class 2 lubricant, viscosity of 100 to 200 SSU at 100° F (38° C) minimum aniline point of 200° F (93° C). • TRI TOOL INC. Air Tool Lubricant (P/N 68-0022) • AMOCO – American Industrial Oil No. 32 •...
Page 23
Always read the operating instructions before you operate the Model 208B BEVELMASTER™. A FRL (Filter/Regulator/Lubricator) is required to protect the warranty on all Tri Tool Technologies air or hydraulic driven tools. The motor warranty is void if damage occurs from contaminated air or lack of lubrication.

4. Select the tool bit(s) required to machine the pipe to the configuration desired. Use of dull or improperly designed tool bits or tool bits not manufactured by Tri Tool Technologies may result in poor performance and may constitute abuse of this machine and therefore voids the Tri Tool Technologies factory warranty.

Model 208B BEVELMASTER™ Tool Bit Installation 1. Adjust the counterbore tool bit radially to control counterbore diameter. 2. Adjust the bevel tool bit radially to control the counterbore depth to the bevel relationship. 3. Slide the Model 208B gently onto the Mandrel Assembly until it comes to a solid stop against the torque acceptance keys.
