SAFETY GUIDELINES

5224XL & 5224XLBMC 7
GENERAL INFORMATION
A clean lubricated air supply must be available at 90 to 125 psi (6.2 to 8.6 Bar), and not less than 45
cfm (1.3 M3/min.), at the point of connection to the motor. A shut-off valve should be provided at
the air supply connection source. If there is any doubt about the cleanliness of the air supply, a lter
should be installed at the supply connection.
Proper lubrication of the unit is a must for peak performance; therefore, a lubricator (preferably a lter/
lubricator) should be installed in the airline immediately downstream of the shut-off valve. A lter-
lubricator (PN 901717P) is available from Elliott Tool Technologies. For best results, use 10W/NR Lube
Oil (PN 900082P), also available from Elliott Tool Technologies in 16 oz. (0.5 L) cans.
A clean water supply must be provided (preferably city water). Water pressure should not exceed 125
psi (8.6 Bar). A ow rate of at least 30 gpm (114 L/min.) should be available. A shut-off valve should
be at the point of connection of the hose whip to the water source. (IMPORTANT: Never operate
Model 522400XL tube cleaner without water supply. Running this tool without water will damage the
shaft seal assembly and cause immediate tool failure.)
Swivel connections are provided on both of the hose whips to provide for easy hookup and eliminate
kinks in the hoses. Connect each hose whip to its corresponding connection on the motor and to its
supply source. Service ends of the hose whips are furnished with female thread connections; 1/2”
NPT (Air) and 1/4” NPT (Water). (Note: Only one hose whip connection is required for the 5224XLBMC
air-purge motor.)

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Set-Up
1. Open the air & water supply valves (air only if air-purge). Holding the motor with the
threaded shaft end away from you, slowly depress the trigger. The threaded shaft (31)
should rotate & water (or air if air-purge) should exit the opening in the threaded shaft.
The ow of the water (or air) should increase as the motor RPM increases. If this does not
occur, recheck hose connections, or refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 14.
2. After attaching the motor coupling, the motor shafting, the extension shafting (if req’d.),
and the cleaning attachment (drill or brush), insert the shaft into the tube I.D.. (NOTE: DO
NOT activate the motor while the shaft end is outside the tube. Doing so could result
in serious injury.) Maximum length of shafting outside of the tube during the cleaning
process is 5 ft. (1.5M).
(NOTE: If tubes are completely blocked by deposit close to the tube sheet, it is recommended that
only a 5 ft. (1.5M) motor shaft be used to clean all of the blocked tubes. Additional 5 ft. (1.5M) shaft
extensions can be added for deeper cleaning requirements. Operating the cleaner in completely
blocked tubes with a shaft length extending outside of the tube greater than 5 ft. (1.5M) from the tube
sheet can result in excessive whipping of the shaft, which could cause serious injury to the operator
and/or bystanders.) If a length of shafting exceeding 5 ft. (1.5M) must be used then support must be
provided for the shafting.
(NOTE: DO NOT support shafting with your hands. Keep hands & clothing clear of rotating shaft &
components to avoid serious injury.) An acceptable means of support for the shafting would be a tube
guide that is supported by a height-adjustable stand.

Elliott Tool offers a number of shafts and couplings to be used with the 5224XL and 5125 Heat Exchanger
Tube Cleaners to accommodate different tube sizes and tube lengths.
How To Order Tube Cleaner Shafting, Accessories, Drills, And Brushes:
1. Measure the tube ID behind the tube sheet in the unrolled area
2. Measure the length of the tube(s) to be cleaned
3. Identify the type of deposit to be removed. (Hard, Soft, Gummy or Powder)
4. Select proper type and size drill and/or brush for the deposit being removed.
5. To select proper size Motor Coupling, Motor Shaft, Gaskets, Extension Couplings, and
Extension Shafts refer to the cleaning shaft OD for the drills and/or brushes selected in the right
hand column on the following page. Then refer to the shaft OD in the chart above to select the
proper components.
6. It is recommended to brush the tubes after they are cleaned with a drill to remove any residual
debris and to polish the tube’s ID.
NOTE: Although Motor Shafts are available in lengths of up to 18 feet (5.5M) they are not readily available.
Motor and Extension shafting are readily available in 5’ (1.5M) and 10’ (3M) lengths for handling, storage and
shipping purposes. (Maximum length to ship UPS is 5’ (1.5M)).

5224XL & 5224XLBMC 13
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Care & Maintenance
This cleaning motor should give good performance for many hours under extreme load
provided that it is supplied with proper lubrication as described in the Operating Instructions on
page 4. All rotating parts are mounted on ball bearings, which are either pre-lubricated or get their
lubrication from the air stream. The paddles (16) are considered a standard replacement item as they
receive the most wear. A loss of power is a strong indication of paddle wear. To replace the paddles,
remove the button head screws (33), then carefully remove the Motor Cap (5), and follow with the
removal of the Rotor (15) and Rear End Plate (17). Remove the worn blades & replace with the new
set (4 req’d per set). Reassemble the removed items being careful not to over tighten the four button
head screws. Should this not restore the power to its original state, check “Troubleshooting” on page
6. If solution still cannot be found, motor may have to be returned to the factory for evaluation.
Repairs recommended to be done at factory
1. Excessive leakage of air behind the trigger (11) or the unit not shutting off indicates worn
O-Rings (28 or 29) or worn Plunger (6).
2. Water leakage around the Plunger (6), or water not shutting off completely, indicates worn
O-Rings (27).
3. Excessive gear noise with attendant loss of power, due to damaged or worn gears.
4. Water draining out of the small weep holes in the Seal Case (3) indicates a defective Shaft
Seal Assembly (14). Replacement of this seal should not be done in the eld. This is a
rugged seal, but it can easily be damaged if installed improperly.
5. Motor running rough and causing vibration indicates worn bearings in any one of four
locations (23, 24, 25, and 37).
Please note that the above repairs can be made by the customer, but should be done at a clean work
area by someone experienced with repairs of pneumatic motors. Elliott Tool Technologies cannot be
responsible for damage to the motor, or its components, when repairs are made by the customer.
Prior to returning the motor to the factory for repairs, contact our Customer Service Group for
a Returned Goods (RG) Authorization number. Upon receipt of the motor, an evaluation will be
performed, and a cost estimate will be returned to you for approval prior to any actual repairs.
