Air Motor Maintenance
Air motors require a normal maintenance and service inspection
at 1500 hours service. Service procedure includes replacement
of motor service kit, minor. It is suggested that one motor
service kit, major (which includes the minor kit) be kept on hand
for normal maintenance and emergency repairs. Check the
individual model’s specications for correct part numbers.
Air motors should be served with moisure free air and for this, an
airline lter / moisture separator, such as Titan Part No. 141-057
is recommended. Very cold and humid air conditions combined
with high speed and high operating pressure may require a
moisture separator and an automatic lubricator to avoid icing.
NOTE: Anairlinelter/moistureseparatorarestandard
on many models.
Best lubrication will be obtained with an automatic lubricator such
as Titan Part No. 151-055.
Fluid Pump Maintenance
If the uid pump is going to be out of service for an extended
period of time, it is recommended that following cleanup, a
kerosene and oil mixture be introduced as a preservative.
Packings may tend to dry out from lack of use. The is particularly
true of the upper packing set for which upper packing lubricant,
Lubrisolv, Titan Part No. 310-200, is recommended in normal
usage. A sample of Lubrisolv accompanies each new unit. Do
not substitute water or paint solvent for Lubrisolv. Ordinary oil
may contaminate the paint material and is not recommended.
If the uid pump has been out of service for an extended period
of time, it may be necessary to prime the suction by pouring
some of the paint solvent into the inlet siphon tube to restart.
IMPORTANT: It is very important that the threads on the
inlet siphon hose coupling are properly sealed. Any air
leakage will produce erratic operation of pump and may
damage the system.
The up and down strokes should be approximately equal in
time. That is, one should not be faster than the other. A fast up
or down stroke may indicate air in the system or malfunctioning
valve seats. See Troubleshooting guide.
Hydraulic Motor and Paint Pump Service
See the individual Technical Data Manual Sheets for
maintenance and service instructions on the reciprocating
hydraulic motor and for mechanical service and maintenance on
the uid pump.
