Can some one tell me how to lubricate the unit?

Before each use a few drops of air tool oil in the air tube before connecting to the hose. Oil is available at any depot or lowes
1266054
ONLY use air tool oil, not something like 3in1, etc. Regular oil might "diesel", air oil will not.
1266055
Add a few drops of oil prior each use to the air inlet or install an automatic oiler to your system
1266056
drip 2-3 drops of air tool oil (or really any light oil) into the air inlet before each day of use

Thou shall oil thine air inlet daily with Air Tool Oil and Grease but once a month... Grease? Yes. The tiny ball bearing at the front of the gun, just beneath the anvil (where the 1/2" socket articulates to the tool) is a grease port that fits a "Mini" or "Needle" air tool grease gun. Just a dab will do before it back flows out of the port. Remember, you're greasing an air tool, not the ball joint of a semi truck. [The AIRCAT tools require the minimum standards below to keep your tool in good working condition. Grease/ Oil AIRCAT and NITROCAT Twin Hammer: Use Lithium or bearing grease. One pump every few weeks is all you need.} (quote from the Air Cat site). I hope you guys found this info helpful and remember, We Screw, We Nut, and We Bolt! :)

Through the air intake. Where you plug the airline in. About 3-5 drops of oil before each use.

The only lubrication I use on all my air tools is a few drops of air tool oil into the air inlet before use each day. The alternative is to use an automatic oiler on the supply air line.. The automatic oiler is only used on air lines that are used for air tools only as the oil will contaminate the hoses if they are also used for spray painting etc....I hope this is of help for you....

Add air tool oil to the air inlet port on the bottom before you connect it to an air source.

Place air tool oil just a couple drops into the air fitting of the impact located on the bottom of the grip handle

use a big pipe wrench and turn it. I had to turn on my electric heater and let it get hot to break it loose.

I've looked online and found nothing yet. Perhaps someone (even I) will find the pamphlet that comes with it and put it online somewhere. Maybe a specific question about operation or cleaning could be answered for you.

Apply lubricant to the O ring (silicon grease), and this should make it easier to put it back together

That's a good. ? Lol. I'm a tech of 10 + years and I never greased. I just push the ball of the fitting down and pour a few drops of lite oil in it.

Turn the unit on first, then submerge it completely. CAUTION- Make certain to have the O-rings lubricated sufficiently with the O-ring lubricant which is provided before every use as they may bind when you turn the switch to the ON position and thus result in not creating a water tight seal for the power port plug. You do not have to glob the lubricant on the O-rings, just make sure that there is enough for them to be able to slide around in the groove without sticking. Utilize a Q-tip to apply the lube. Also keep the lube and Q-tip in a sealable Ziploc bag for later usage. Store in a environmentally cool place, just not the fridge or freezer. Turn the unit on first, then submerge it completely.

I did so with mine and it is running like new. Do not wait to long. The grease inside turns to liquid and then just flows out of the machine with no warning. Repacked it and it is quiet. There is a video on the internet on how to do the repacking.

Just insert a little flat screwdriver by one side and pull out, don´t make to much force only a gentle pull

Always do prep....clean with wire brush as best as possible....remove any oil or grease by cleaning with denatured alcohol or some comparable solvent

I wipe it down well and let it dry. Sometimes I even use an air compressor blow gun to dry iot off and more effective cleaning. There are lots of different chain lubes out there. I use Dumonde Lube. It's greasy, not dry but not a problem for me as I clean my chain every week. (I ride 100 miles a week)

if this is like the 1 liter one I have, there should be a little insignia of an oil can right in front of the trigger on the top right before the brass rod that goes down into the cup. From what I have gathered, it is not oil that is needed but every now and then add a little petroleum jelly or other water NON-soluable grease just to keep the o-ring pliable...if it dries out, pump won't work...go to Solo site, this explanation should be there

We applied liquid soap as the lubricant and pushed it in a rotating fashion.I hope this helps.

Now that has me wondering now. I didnt know it needed oiled. I just looked at my manual. My guess is, take the tray off, turn it over, clean off the excess tobacco with warm water, dry it off and oil all the moving parts. Im just going to spray it with pam cooking spray.

Jack, This Lumax unit requires NO external power. The hose connection can be adjusted to stay on the grease fitting as long as you don't pull to hard on it. You squeese the red handle to dispense the grease. The grease comes in a tube so you don't get dirty. The grease canister has a pull tab to open, drop the grease tube in the canister, you put the top back on the grease gun, attach the hose & fitting on the zirk you want to lubricate and squeese the handle to dispence the lubricant. You can purchase air powered grease guns, their very expensive and unless you've got dozens of fittings why spend that money. The Lumax unit comes with detailed instructions.

You have to use vacuum pipe. I was told sch 40 pipe isn't smooth enough and causes to much friction

I raise the treadmill into the storage position and spray from underneath. I pull down on the belt and give it a squirt from each side. Then I manually rotate the belt a few feet and repeat 3 or 4 times. Hopefully the lubricant is getting where it needs to be.
