AIR POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION TO THE FEED
FEED LUBRICATION
A single air line connection is all that is needed for
maximum power with minimum air consumption. We
strongly recommend that an oversized air hose be
connected to the Feed with a water separator type
filter and air line oiler.
The use of a 3-Way On/Off Exhaust Valve will make
minor adjustments and strip insertion easier.
Set the Air Pressure Regulator between 80 and
120 PSI (6 to 8 Bar).
Fill the air line lubricator with a good grade of
hydraulic cylinder oil, like Shell Tellus 32. Set for one
drop per minute to properly clean and lubricate all
internal parts.
NEVER use Spindle Oils, Motor Oils, Solvents,
WD-40, or Stock Lubricating Oils. Use of these types
of oils will cause Feed performance to deteriorate, as
well as premature wear.
