7. Maintenance & Storage
•
Clean the oil suction filter regularly (located opposite the oil inlet connection).
•
Make sure the oil is clean. Contaminants will cause severe wear, and ultimately
failure, of the pump.
•
Make sure the air supply is clean and dry. An unfiltered air supply can cause the air
motor to stall or stop.
•
SKF recommends the use of SKF Mounting Fluid LHMF 300 and SKF Dismounting
Fluid LHDF 900.
•
The maximum storage time depends on the storage conditions. Recommended
storage conditions are at room temperature with dry surrounding air.
•
To prepare for storage, add a few drops of air motor oil to the air inlet of the pump.
Connect to the air supply and run the THAP...E slowly for a few strokes. The air used
should have a water vapour pressure dew point that is at least 10 ºC below the
ambient temperature where the pump is to be stored.
