Requirements to the air supply
The pneumatic drill and drive unit is designed for an operation pressure of 6 bar. Pay
attention that the operation pressure is not lower. For maximum performance, the values given
in the table „Technical Specification" have to be met.
The distance to the machine should not be bigger than 5 m.
The supplied compressed air has to be free from foreign objects and humidity, in order to
protect the pneumatic drill and drive unit against damage, dirt and rust formation.
Remark: For the lubrication we recommend installing an oiler or a maintenance unit
upstream the machine. This ensures a proper functioning of the pneumatic drill and drive unit.
Always use acid and resin-free oil (SAE 5W - SAE 10W).
Oils of high viscosity cause vane sticking and impair the start and performance of the
machine. Optimal lubrication will multiply the service life time. In winter, or if the compressed air
is very moist, an antifreeze lubricant, e.g. "BP-Energol AX 10", "Kilfrost" or "Kompranol N 74"
should be used.
Pay attention that the diameters of all lines are big enough and there are no restrictions.
There must be no buckles in the hoses.
Check the supplied flow pressure. The flow pressure has to be adjusted with the pressure
control valve (see technical specifications).
Supply hoses have to be designed for a minimum operating pressure of 6 bar.
Replace hose lines regularly at preventative maintenance, even if there are no damages
(observe the instructions of the manufacturer).
Always use hoses, which have an oil resistant inner surface and an abrasion-resistant outer
surface. If you are next to electric conductors, always use hoses which are proved and specified
to be non-conductive.
For use in areas exposed to explosion hazards always use hoses and lubricating oil, which
meet the safety requirements of the owner.
Connecting the air supply to the pneumatic drill and drive unit
Remove the locking cap from the connection 3 (see fig. 2) at the air inlet.
Screw a pneumatic hose (not contained in the scope of delivery), into the connection 3 at the
air inlet.
