LUBRICATION
NOTE
Pneumatically actuated devices require clean, pressure regulated, and lubricated air for maximum performance
and long life. The most effective and economical way to lubricate Nexen Clutches and Brakes is with an Air Line
Lubricator, which injects oil into the pressurized air, forcing an oil mist into the air chamber.
Locate the lubricator above and within ten feet of the Clutch or Brake, and use a low viscosity oil such as SAE-10.
Synthetic lubricants are not recommended.
