Compressed air source
A.
Water separator (optional)
B.
C. Max. 10 feet (3 meter) compressed air hose
between the water separator and the machine.
Check that you are using the correct
♦
recommended operating pressure, 87 psi (6 bar
(e)).
♦ The maximum permissible air pressure, 90 psi
(6.2 bar (e)), must not be exceeded.
Blow any impurities out of the compressed air
♦
hose before connecting it to the machine.
Select the correct dimension and length for the
♦
compressed air hose. For hose lengths up to 100
feet (30 meters), a hose with a minimum internal
diameter of 3 ⁄ in. (19 mm) should be used. If the
4
hose length is between 100 and 330 feet (30 and
100 meters), a hose with a minimum internal
diameter of 1 in. (25 mm) should be used.

Methods to prevent freezing

Ice formation in the machine can occur when the
ambient air temperature is 32-50 °F (0-10 °C) and
the relative humidity is high.
The following actions can be taken to counteract
the risk of ice formation:
♦ Use CP Airolene Plus Tool Oil as a lubricant. CP
Airolene Plus Tool Oil counteracts freezing.
♦ Use a water separator.
Connecting a water
separator
The length of the air hose between the compressor
and the water separator must be such that the water
vapour is cooled and condenses in the hose before
reaching the water separator.
14
C
If the ambient temperature is below 32 °F (0 °C) the
hose must be short enough to prevent the water
from freezing before reaching the water separator.

Lubrication

The lubricant is important for the machine s function
and has a great impact on the useful service life.
Every day before using and after each eight hours
service, fill the integrated oil reservoir with
recommended lubricant.
Use a synthetic lubricant such as CP Airolene Plus
Tool Oil or mineral oil with the properties
recommended in the table below.
Temperature
Lubricant range °F (°C)
CP Airolene Plus -4 to +120
Tool Oil (-20 to +50)
Air tool oil -4 to +60
(-20 to +15)
Air tool oil +60 to +120
(+15 to +50)
Oiler adjustment
Every day before using and after each eight hours
service, fill the integrated oil reservoir with
recommended oil.
B
A
1. Remove the oil plug (A) and fill the integrated
oil reservoir with recommended oil.
2. If oiler adjustment is needed, adjust the oil
regulating plug (B), clockwise to reduce flow
and counter clockwise to increase flow.
Fitting and removing the
butt
Whenever fitting or removing the butt the following
instructions must be observed:
♦ To prevent an accidental start: switch off the air
supply and disconnect the machine from the
power source. Bleed the machine by pressing the
start and stop device.
