Installation
Air quality
• For optimum performance and maximum machine
life we recommend the use of compressed air with
a maximum dew point of +10°C. We also recom-
mend the installation of an Atlas Copco refrigera-
tion-type air dryer.
• Use a separate air filter of type Atlas Copco FIL.
This filter removes solid particles larger than 15
microns and also removes more than 90 % of li-
quid water. The filter must be installed as close
as possible to the machine/equipment and prior
to any other air preparation unit such as REG or
DIM (please see Air Line Accessories in our main
catalogue). Blow out the hose before connecting.
Models which need air lubrication:
• The compressed air must contain a small quantity
of oil.
We strongly recommend that you install an Atlas
Copco oil-fog lubricator (DIM). This should be
set according to air consumption by the air line
tool according to the following formula:
L = Air consumption (litre/s).
(May be found in our sales literature).
D = Number of drops per min (1 drop = 15 mm
L* 0.2 = D
this applies to the use of long work cycle air line
tools. A single point lubricator type Atlas Copco
Dosol can also be used for tools with short running
cycles.
Information about Dosol settings may be found
under Air Line Accessories in our main catalogue.
Lubrication-free models:
• In the case of lubrication-free tools it is up to the
customer to decide on the peripheral equipment
to be used. However, it is no disadvantage if the
compressed air contains a small quantity of oil

Safety and operating instructions
e.g. supplied from a fog lubricator (DIM) or Dosol
system. This does not apply to turbine tools, which
should be kept oil free.
Compressed air connection
• The machine is designed for a working pressure
of 6–7 bar = 600–700 kPa = 87–102 psi.
• Blow out the hose before connecting.
Maintenance
Rust protection and internal cleaning
Water in the compressed air, dust and wear particles
cause rust and sticking of piston, valves etc. This can
be solved by flushing with oil (some drops), running
the machine for 5-10 seconds and absorbing the oil
in a cloth. Make this preparation before longer
standstills.
Overhaul and lubrication
If the machine is normally used as a heavy-duty
machine it should be dismantled, overhauled and
cleaned after 4 months in operation. If the machine
is not running properly, it should be taken out of
service for inspection.
At the overhaul the disassembled parts should be
checked according to the spare parts list. Sliding
parts should be lubricated with oil prior to assembly.
Use lubricants of good quality. The air motor oils
and greases mentioned in the chart are examples of
lubricants which are recommended.
