FORM NO. L-20205-C-1209

NOTE

Nexen pneumatically actuated devices require clean, pressure regulated air for maximum performance and life.

All seals in Nexen Pneumatically operated devices are lubricated for life and do not require additional lubrication.
However, some customers prefer to use an air line lubricator, which injects oil into the pressurized air, forcing an

oil mist into the air chamber. This is acceptable, but care must be taken to ensure once an air mist lubrication

system is used, it is continually used over the life of the product as the oil mist may wash free the factory

installed lubrication.
Locate the lubricator above and within ten feet of the product, and use low viscosity oil such as SAE-10.
Synthetic lubricants are not recommended.
Nexen product's bearings are shielded and pre-lubricated, and require no further lubrication.

LUBRICATOR DRIP RATE SETTINGS

1. Close and disconnect the air line from the unit.

CAUTION

Lubricator Sight Gage.

5. Connect the air line to the unit.

FACE TEETH

Lubricate Drive Flange Assembly Face Teeth, and Drive Ring
(Item 17) with “NEVER-SEEZ”

®

or equivalent whenever

visual inspection shows a need for lubrication. For breakaway
applications, Nexen recommends a continual drip or mist
lubrication of the Face Teeth.

SPLINE

Although the Spline has been lubricated at the factory
with a high temperature, anti-seize lubricating compound,
Nexen recommends periodic lubrication of this component
to insure smooth clutch engagement and disengagement.

NOTE: Clutch must be disassembled to lubricate Spline

(See Parts Replacement section for disassembly
instructions).
