• Ensure that you have available Air tool oil to fill the Lubricator to the required level.

Step 3: BEFORE COMMENCING THE OPERATION.

• Locate the section to be cleaned / de-scaled and determine if the area needs to be cleaned. Excessive
grease, dirt and other hazardous material should be cleaned from the surface area before
operation of the Rustibus® machine.
• Confirm the correct air pressure before connecting hose supply.
• Check oil level container and fill with air tool oil as required (Only fill to 75%)
• The Chain drum is rotating at high RPM, show outmost care when connecting Air hose and when
operating machine. ALWAYS THINK SAFETY FIRST!
• Connect your machine to its power source.
• Make sure the air hose is properly connected and safely located for your operation. Apply safety wire
on hose.
• ALWAYS lift up machine (push down the handle) in order for the chain drum to rotate freely when
starting the machine.
• Start and Stop the machine and check that rotation is correct according to marking on machine.

Step 4: OPERATION OF RUSTIBUS® MACHINE.

• For the best results from your Rustibus® machine you should run the machine forward and backward
over the area until appropriate result is achieved
• Do not run the machine over sharp edges, but along them. Your machine will last longer if operated
with care.

Step 5: MAINTENANCE OF RUSTIBUS® MACHINE.

• ALWAYS stop the machine and disconnect it from its air power source before carrying out any
maintenance on the machine.
• Use the Disposable Chain Drum until it is completely destroyed and then replace the entire drum with
a new one.
• When the machine is stowed away after use, the motor should be filled with 0,1 litre (3.38 US fl oz) of
lube oil to ensure functionality upon next time of use. On upright machine fill at filling cap. On the LOW
machine, place machine on its right side, detach air hose connection from motor and fill the motor.

Danger of injury if assembled under pressure!

Assembling when under pressure or electrical voltage can lead to injuries and damage to the
product or system components.
• Make sure that the relevant system part is not under voltage or pressure before you assemble
the product.
• Protect the system against being switched on.

Regularly check the oil level and refill if

the oil has reached the bottom edge of Fig1.
the largewindow (a). Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the reservoir from the

maintenance device.
2. Fill the reservoir with the specified oil
(see “Technical Data”) until oil appears
in the small window (b).
Note: If filling level is too high, oil can
reach the system and damage it.
3. Place the reservoir on the maintenance
device until it engages audibly.

Fig 2.Setting the oil amount

1. Set the oil amount using the metering

screw on the standard oil-mist lubricator’s
drop attachment.
2. Determine amounts of oil discharged by
observing the number of drops in the
drop attachment.

Fig2.

The lubricator should be set to approx. 10 drops of oil pr. min.

(Adjustment screw is located on top of the lubricator)

When using the machine make sure that the lubricator is always filled with air tool oil. Refill when
necessary.

Replacing the chain drum

The rotation unit of the Rustibus® 1200 is made of a disposable chain drum system that does not require
any spares replacement or repairs. Use the Disposable Chain Drum until it is completely destroyed and
then replace the entire drum with a new one. If one of the pins on the Disposable Chain Drum should
brake, it might create an unbalance in the rotation. To calibrate/repair the balance, the pin
opposite to the broken one should be removed.
