Pneumatic Tools - Pneumat System

Air Line Installationand MaintenanceImportant requirements for the use of air tools!In order to maintain the power of a pneumatic motor, to avoid damage and to prolong the tool's life time the compressed airhas to meet certain quality standards.Its recommended to install a maintenance unit at each compressed air outlet or work place.The following conditions for operation are of great importance and should be observed closely. For each type of work placethe correctly suited maintenance unit will produce optimum conditions for the used air tools.Air PressureThe standard pressure of the supplied air should be 6.3 bar (90 psi) at the air entrance of the air tool (also when air is flowing).Air inlet pressures that are too high will lead to accessive wear and failure of the tool after a while. Tools operating with too lowair pressure are usually lacking in their full performance.Air QuantityDepending on the type of air tool the air consumption during full performance may vary.Please compare the max. air consumption values for tools indicated in our manuals and catalogues, the recommendedhose sizes (inner diamter) with the max. flow rates of the maintenance units and the effective capacity of your compressor.Condense / DirtThe water separators and filters which are integrated in our maintenance units avoid corrosion in air motors and supply clean air.A high content of water in the compressed air will lead to rust and smaller passages in steel pipes and air lines which meansair pressure losses and a lack of performance of the air tools.If no filters are used, rust and particles will damage or block the motor.LubricationPeriodical lubrication of air motors is absolutely required (daily) to maintain full perfomance of the motor, to prolong the life timeof the motor and to prevent corrosion. If a motor is not running with continuous air lubrication (lubricator), it should be lubricated manuallyevery day (approx. 2 cm³ air oil (model 1000L) . Please see also the drawing for installation in the manual.Operating ManualsPlease follow the instructions for maintenance and safe use in the operating manual (drawing for installation).When a tool was not used according to the requirements for correct operation and airpreparation we will not be able to grant any warranty in case of failure.Examples of Installation:Maintenance units withoutlubricator but with coalescing filterfor use with eg paint guns, blowguns and for oil-free operations.Maintenance units withlubricator (slim or broad design)for all tools that require permanentlubrication.Duty LevelIn order to help you selecting the correct tool we classified all RODCRAFT tools according to duty levels:normal duty heavy duty very heavy duty 4 ultra heavy duty1 2 364
