Sealey SA401 - Manual (Page 3)


WARNING! Disconnect gun from air supply before performing maintenance.
5.1 Lubricate the air tool daily with a good grade of air tool oil such as Sealey ATO/500 or
ATO/1000. If the compressed air system has no oiler, a few drops of oil can be poured into
the air inlet of the gun each day.
5.2 When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof
location.
Note! Faults in the compressed air system may cause loss of power or erratic action. Reduced
compressor output, excessive drain on the air line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the
use of hose connectors of incorrect size may reduce the air supply.
Grit or gum deposits in the tool will reduce power and may be removed by flushing out the
gun with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE10 oil and kerosene.
Note! If the SA401.V2 is used with cartridges for a long period, it is possible that the rubber
plunger may become damaged. If it is then used with manual or bulk filling systems, the
plunger may allow grease to seep from the bottom of the grease tube. To prevent this
happening, check the condition of the rubber plunger, and if worn, replace before using a
different fill method.
