GREASE
Lubrication frequency is dependent on factors known only to the user. The amount of
contaminants in the work area is one factor. Tools used in a clean room environment will
obviously require less service than a tool used out-doors and dropped in loose dirt or sand.
Grease is formulated not to wash out of the tool in areas where lubrication is critical.
Whenever lubrication is required, lubricate as follows:
1. Remove the drive plate, ratchet, drive segment and sleeves as instructed in the
maintenance section and wash the components in a suitable cleaning solution in a well
ventilated area.
2. After drying the components, wipe a film of Grease onto the wear surface of both sleeves
and the ends of the ratchet.
3. Spread a light film of Grease onto the inner face and both sides of the Drive Plate. Do
not pack the teeth of the drive segment or ratchet with lube. It can prevent the teeth from
engaging properly.
4. Spread a light film of Grease onto the inner face and both sides of the Drive Plate. Do
not pack the teeth of the drive segment or ratchet with lube. It can prevent the teeth from
engaging properly.
CRITICAL LUBRICATION
It is imperative to lubricate the piston rod recess of the drive plate to piston rod contact area every
80 hours of continuous duty cycling.
Lubricate as follows:
1. Remove shroud screws, shroud, and roll pin.
2. Pry the drive plate assembly forward from the piston rod to expose the recessed contact
area in the drive plate.
3. With a rag, wipe clean the area and apply a sizeable amount of grease.
4. Reassemble as instructed in the maintenance section.
