Gear Motor Lubrication Requirements
Oil change is recommended after 2000 operation hours of operation. Use AGMA #8 gear lube or
MOBILUBE HD 80 W-90 or equivalent.
Ball Screws (If Applicable)
All ball screws should be lubricated Dura-Lith Grease (KVAL P/N Lube EP-2) for every 80 hours
of operation. At each lubrication grease should be pumped into the fitting until clean grease
comes out around the ball screw.

Important: Make sure to clean excess grease to avoid contact with feed belts, clamping areas, or
the door.
Description of Air Input System
The air input system takes in shop air and supplies clean dry air (CDA) and lubricated air to the
machine. The clean dry air is diverted to blow off nozzles. The lubricator, located after the CDA
filters, delivers the lubricated air to valve banks and air cylinders.
