below time intervals:
EVERY 8 HOURS OF TOOL OPERATION
- Fill lubricator reser-
voir of recommended F.R.L. with spindle oil (29665).

ficiently to expose grease fitting in gear housing. Gearing should
contain approximately 1/8 oz. (3.5 g) of grease.

Loosen two screws (29) and remove cover (1).
Allow a minimum distance of 1/4” between the tap point of the
unit and the workpiece. This is necessary for the air motor to
start and reach free speed before the tap point touches the
workpiece.
Determine the TOTAL STROKE LENGTH the tap must travel
to perform the tapping operation -see illustration below.
Loosen jam nut (8) and turn adjustment screw “A” so the dis-
tance between the end of the screw and the stud (26) equals
the total stroke length.
Tighten jam nut (8).
Loosen jam nut (8) and turn adjustment screw “B” (valve in-
head models only) so the distance between the end of the
screw and the button bleed valve (25) is slightly GREATER
than the distance set for adjustment screw “A”.
Start and let the unit advance until the adjustment screw “A”
makes contact with the stud (26).
Carefully, and be aware that the unit is going to retract, turn the
adjustment screw “B” until it depresses the button bleed valve
(25) enough to cause the unit to retract.
Tighten jam nut (8).
