MARINE MOLY GREASE
Lubrication frequency is dependent on factors known only to the user. The amount of
contaminants in the work area is one factor. Tools used in a clean room environment will
obviously require less service than a tool used outdoors and dropped in loose dirt or sand.
Marine Moly Grease is formulated not to wash out of the tool in areas where
lubrication is critical.
Whenever lubrication is required, lubricate as follows:
1. Remove the drive plate, ratchet, drive segment and sleeves as instructed in the
maintenance section and wash the components in a suitable cleaning solution in a well
ventilated area.
2. Afterdryingthecomponents,wipealmofMarineMolyGreaseontothewearsurfaceof
both sleeves and the ends of the ratchet.
3. SpreadalightlmofMarineMolyGreaseontotheinnerfaceandbothsidesofthedrive
plate. Do not pack the teeth of the drive segment or ratchet with lubricant. It can prevent
the teeth from engaging properly.
4. Place a daub of Marine Moly Grease in the piston rod recess of the drive plate before
linking the piston rod to the drive plate at assembly.
CRITICAL LUBRICATION
It is imperative to lubricate the piston rod recess of the drive plate to piston rod contact area
every 80 hours of continuous duty cycling.
Lubricate as follows:
1. Remove shroud screws, shroud, and roll pin.
2. Pry the drive plate assembly forward from the piston rod to expose the recessed contact
area in the drive plate.
3. With a rag, wipe clean the area and apply a sizeable amount of Marine Moly Grease.
4. Reassemble as instructed in the maintenance section.
