 PLACING THE TOOL IN SERVICE
LUBRICATION

Marine Grade Moly Lube

Lubrication frequency is dependent on factors known only to the user. The amount of contaminants in the work
area is one factor. Tools used in a clean room environment will obviously require less service than a tool used
out-doors and dropped in loose dirt or sand. Marine Grade Moly Lube is formulated not to wash out of the tool in
areas where lubrication is critical.

Whenever lubrication is required, lubricate as follows:

1. Remove the Drive Plate, Ratchet, Segment Pawl and Drive Sleeves as instructed in the Maintenance Section
and wash the components in a suitable cleaning solution in a well–ventilated area.

2. After drying the components, wipe a film of Moly Lube (Marine Grade) onto the wear surface of both Drive
Sleeves and the ends of the Ratchet.

3. Spread a light film of Moly Lube (Marine Grade) onto the inner face and both sides of the Drive Plate.
Do not pack the teeth of the Segment Pawl or Ratchet with lube. It can prevent the teeth from engaging
properly.

4. Place a daub of Moly Lube (Marine Grade) in the piston rod recess of the Drive Plate before linking the
Piston Rod to the Drive Plate at assembly.

CRITICAL LUBRICATION

It is imperative to lubricate the piston rod recess of the Drive Plate to Piston Rod
contact area every 80 hours of continuous duty cycling.

Lubricate as follows:

1. Remove Shroud Screws, Shroud, and Roll Pin.

2. Pry the Drive Plate assembly forward from the Piston Rod to expose the recessed contact area in the
Drive Plate.

3. With a rag, wipe clean the area and apply a sizeable amount of Moly Lube (Marine Grade).

4. Reassemble as instructed in the maintenance section.
