5.3.4 Electric motor assembly
The handle (PN 75648)
clamped onto the motor acts
as a torque restraint and only
an authorized CLIMAX
representative should remove
and reinstall it. If the handle
needs to be removed, contact
CLIMAX. Failure to do this
could cause severe damage
to the machine or bodily injury.
Replace or repair any damaged or
abraded parts, including brushes.
Use only grounded, properly rated electrical outlets.
Brush wear mostly depends on the load and RPM. Depending on
operating conditions, periodically check both brush for excessive wear
and replace if necessary.
Electrical equipment can shock or cause an explosion if used near wet
or flammable materials. Do not operate the motor if it is wet or exposed
to combustible materials.
5.3.5 Air motor assembly
Do the following to increase the life of the air motor:
• Route the air supply through a lubricator and filter.
• Use nonrestrictive air lines and fittings.
• Set the air motor speed only by adjusting the air control valve.
Do not attempt to adjust air motor speed by changing the in-line air
pressure from 90 psi (6.2 bar).
• Use air oil that has antioxidants and rust inhibitors. The lubricator
should deliver oil at a rate of 20-30 drops per minute at full throttle.
• Drain water from the air filter.
