4 Maintenance
– We recommend maintenance after 12 months or 500 operating hours to guarantee a long service life
for the motor. The maintenance intervals should be shortened for extreme operating conditions. It is
advisable for maintenance to be carried out by the manufacturer's service technicians. If you proceed
with maintenance yourself, the planetary gears, needle bearings and motor seals must be lubricated
with a suitable grease (see lubricants). Please note that a long service life of the vanes is not guaranteed
when the compressed air is totally dry.
!
Warning
– The motor vanes contain PTFE. Please comply with the normal health and safety recommen dations
for these materials. Avoid open flames to prevent any ignition/fumes forming from particles detached
from the vanes. Fumes caused by PTFE particles can cause allergic reactions under certain conditions.
i
Important
– After you have performed any maintenance work on the motor, check that it will work properly. To do so,
drip 2 – 3 drops of oil in the air intake and let the motor run for a few seconds in idle mode.
Guarantee
– The manufacturer grants a 12 months guarantee on material and design faults for compressed air motors
used in single-shift operation. Damage caused by wear, overload or improper handling and by failure
to comply with the instructions is not covered by the guarantee.
– Complaints can only be dealt with if the motor is sent undismantled to the manufacturer and only if
original parts were used during any maintenance work.
