Maintenance and Inspection
5.1 Troubleshooting and Corrective Measures
If the pump operation becomes unstable or trouble is caused to its grease discharge during
operation, make a check according to the following procedure.
Symptom Cause Contents of inspection and corrective measures
5.2 Maintenance and Inspection
For lubrication of the pump, perform oiling once every 10 days with lubricating oil. Supply the
lubricating oil as following. (Fig.5)
1) Remove the air regulator.
2) Inject a few drops of lubricating oil (approx. 0.5 mL) into the oil cup as
shown in the figure at right. Use turbine oil class 1 ISO (VG-32) or
equivalent as the lubricating oil.
5.3 Consumable Parts
The hose is a consumable part. Check it periodically. If any flaw or leak
is found, replace it a little early. The parts used in the packing and slide portion of the pump will be
worn away. They must be checked and replaced once a year.
The pump cannot
be operated.
Check if the air
regulator is normally
operated.
Check if the valve on
the outlet on the pump
side is not closed.
Remove the lower pump
and operate the air
motor independently.
Check if the valve in
the course of piping is
not closed.
Clogging occurs in the
connecting hose, pipe,
outlet valve, or gun.
The lower pump is
faulty.
The packing seal of the
air motor is worn away.
Ask for servicing the
lower pump
The pump is
continuously
operated without
stop.
Check if oil does not
leak at the exhaust
port.
Check if there is any
open valve on the
material output side.
The air motor is faulty.
Ask for servicing the
air motor.
When the outlet side is
closed, check if any leak
does not occur on the
pipe, connecting hose or
its connecting portion.
The valve of the lower
pump or the packing is
worn away.
The pump can be
operated but grease
is not fed by
pressure.
The pump can be
operated but the
discharge volume is
insufficient.
Is the oil included in the
container
Check if the supply air
pressure is not lowered.
Check and re-supply, or
replace.
The air supply
volume to the pump
is insufficient.
Replace the air hose
with a thicker one or
check the air
compressor.

Increase the pressure
up to 0.7 MPa by the air
regulator. At this time,
the oil volume does not
reach the specified level.
The valve seat surface
of the lower pump is
worn away or clogging
is caused by dust or
foreign substances.
