PLACING MOTOR IN SERVICE
Lubrication
Ingersoll--Rand No. 50 Ingersoll--Rand No. 28
Always use an air line lubricator with this motor. We
recommend the following Filter--Regulator--Lubricator
Unit (FRL):
F o r U S A -- N o . C 2 2 -- 0 4 -- G 0 0
For International -- No. C26--C4--A29
After each forty hours of operation, or as experience
indicates, inject 1.5 cc of Ingersoll--Rand No. 28 Grease
into the Grease Fitting (55). Do not grease excessively.
Too much grease in the Gear Case will cause heating.
Grease leakage from the spindle end is also an indication
that an excessive amount of grease has accumulated
within the Gear Case.
Installation
Always use clean dry air at 90 psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa)
maximum air pressure. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or
excessive moisture can ruin the motor of an air tool. An
air line filter can greatly increase the life of an air tool.
The filter removes the dust and moisture. Be sure all hoses
and fittings are the correct size and tightly secured. See
Drawing TPD905--2 for a typical piping arrangement.

It is important that the motor be serviced and inspected at
regular intervals to maintain safe, trouble--free operation
of the motor.
Tools, hose and fittings shall be replaced if unsuitable for
safe operation and responsibility should be assigned to
ensure that all tools requiring guards or other safety
devices are kept in operating condition. Maintenance and
repair records should be maintained on all tools.
Frequency of repair and the nature of the repairs can
reveal improper application or use. Scheduled
maintenance by competent authorized personnel should
detect any mistreatment or abuse of the motor and worn
parts. Corrective action should be taken before returning
the motor for use.
When replacement parts are necessary, consult
Maintenance Section for part identification.
Maintenance Instructions
When removing a Spindle Planet Gear Shaft (61) from the
Spindle (59), always press it out so that it is ejected at the
short hub end of these parts. Likewise, when installing a
Shaft, start it into the narrow flange at the short hub end.
This is important, as the shaft holes are slightly tapered, so
the Shaft fits much tighter in the front, or wide, flange of
the Spindle.
Spindle Planet Gear Bearings (63) must be installed with
care to avoid distorting or fracturing the thin shell
surrounding the needles. Use a bearing inserting tool, as
shown in Drawing TPD786, when installing a needle
bearing. Press only on the stamped end of the bearing.
Press one bearing from each end of the hole when two
bearings are used in one gear. Never use one bearing as an
anchor for installing the second bearing.

Screws (66) for tightness.
