13. Slide Base Lubrication
NOTE: Slide base should be moved fore
and aft at least once a year to
maintain optimum performance.
IMPORTANT: If equipped with air
release, lubricate air
cylinder every three (3)
months or 30,000 miles
whichever comes first.
1. With the piston shaft in the exposed
position, clean with penetrating oil
and a clean shop towel (Figure 31).
ILS Sliders: Spray spring covered piston
shaft thoroughly with penetrating oil
(Figure 32).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use any abrasives
on the exposed shaft as
they could damage the
piston shaft.
2 Remove supply air line and add 2-4 drops
of air tool oil to cylinder through the
supply fitting. Re-install supply air line
(Figures 33 and 34 - Traditional
Sliders, Figure 35 - ILS Sliders).
3. Activate and de-activate air cylinder
2-3 times to work air tool oil into
cylinder and onto piston and verify
proper operation.

at a minimum of every 60,000 miles or if
