• Use nonrestrictive 1/2" (13 mm) air lines and fittings supplied by CLI-
MAX.
• Check periodically that air pressure is 80 psi (5.5 bar).
• Adjust motor speed only by resetting the needle valve, not by changing
in-line air pressure.
• Adjust the air motor speed by opening or closing the ball valve. Do not
attempt to control motor speed by changing the air line pressure from
90 psi.
• Fill the air lubricator oil cup with Mobil Almo 525 before using the
machine. The lubricator should oil the air at a maximum rate of 20–30
drops per minute at full throttle.
To protect the pneumatic systems and maintain your warranty, only the
air filter and lubricator supplied with the machine must be used. The
lubricator should deliver oil at a minimum rate of 2–4 drops per minute.
5.3.10 KM3000/KM4000 hydraulic power systems
After 72 hours of operation, do the following:
• Replace the filter cartridge.
• Check the heat exchanger for leaks.
• Clean the filler/breather.
5.3.10.1 Hydraulic motor
The hydraulic motor is maintenance-free. Fluid passing through the motor lubri-
cates internal moving parts. To ensure long life and dependable operation, use
Mobil DTE-24 hydraulic fluid.
5.3.10.2 Hydraulic filter and fluid
Although the hydraulic power unit requires little maintenance, timely replacement
of the filter and fluid is required for proper operation.
When new, change the filter after the first 72 hours of operation to remove any
impurities in the system. From then on, replace the filter every 150–200 hours.
Use a high-quality filter. CLIMAX recommends a 10-micron industrial-grade fil-
ter. If the filtering system has a change-warning gauge, change the filter as often as
the gauge indicates. Clean hydraulic fluid will help keep the power unit and motor
running properly.
The following hydraulic filter element components are available for purchase from
CLIMAX:
• Hydraulic filter element replacement (P/N 39099)
• Haydraulic filter element upgrade kit (P/N 39250)
The hydraulic fluid should be changed under the following conditions:
