Maintenance

Head Assemblies do not require continuous lubrication.  However, careful maintenance means longer product life and hours of trouble-free operation.  Internal lubrication must be an integral part of air supply system.  It is recommended that a thorough internal cleaning and lubrication be completed between 80,000 and 90,000 cycles.  External lubrication should occur every 25,000 cycles.

The head should be removed from the die and disassembled, as outlined in “Assembly/ Disassembly.”  Clean all grease and metal particles from parts.  Coat parts with a lithium soap base grease Molykote BRZ-5 or equivalent and reassemble the head.  The lubricant is available from the following sources:
