Can I use wd-40 to oil it as a substitute lubricant? Can i use automotive paint and thinner as solvent and cleaning solution?

I would strongly recommend you contact Graco. Ommissions from operations and maintenance manuals do not help you or your warranty. More than once a substitution as you're suggesting has made it's way into future versions of manuals ... after confirmation by the manufacturer, of course. WD-40 is a fishoil based product. While it might not harm the sprayer, you may have difficulty with contamination afterward. Again ... I'd consult Graco.

The manual suggest to use mineral sprit-type materials only. Do not use material with a flash point lower than 70F. Paint thinner outta work for a cleaner of oil base paint. I don't know if WD 40 would have ill effects on seals, o rings, and such. Should be fine for metal parts. Remember to use the anti-freeze type liquid when planning to stow away the machine else the aluminum parts will corrode and rust togeater calling for a tear down of the parts. WD 40 is good for everything-I've never damaged anything using it.

I just use lithium grease from Walmart. A good friend of mine does small engine work for living and said that it's fine to use that. Side note, he said to grease them as often as possible.

I always use synthetic 10w30. It is a great all weather oil and you change it every 40 hours.

I finally got around to pulling out the manual on the jack hammer. They send a bottle of oil and applicator with the unit. I don't know what type is in it. The manual says to use Shell Oil, ROTELLA #40, engine oil.

non and detergent reminds me of transmission oil. In your transmission it is a problem. Never heard of such a thing in gun oil.If all else fails get some 5 or 10 weight motor oil. Do not use any oil with paraffin [wax] in it. I have a Ruger Yukon .177and have had no problems. Sorry I could not help you more. When I grew-up gun oil was gun oil.

Usually PVE or POE type oil (depending on the AC manufacturer's instructions.) Do NOT use WD40 or vacuum pump oil. It will void your AC's warranty and could cause premature compressor failure.

Red Line web site has a fantastic Application Guide. www.redlineoil.com Put your vehicle in there and it will tell you which of their oils to use and where. I sell alot of their oil. Really believe in their product! Chuck

My recommendation is a Dielectric Auto Tune-up Grease by "Permatex,"or a White Lithium Grease (spray can) or a Marine tube type used for outboard motors/trailers. Basically, a water proof/resistant type grease. If I remember correctly, the Mfr. had a preference for the auto tune -up grease. WD-40 lubricate is a fine product and will displace water, however it will wash away from the interior O-rings found in the water nozzles. Perhaps, this may assist you.

No, it cannot. This stuff is like Dexron-VI ATF.You want 75w90 gear oil, probably GL4 or GL5. Something like this:Mag 1 62378 75W-90 Full Synthetic Gear Oil - 1 Quart, (Pack of 6)orMobil 1 104361 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 QuartIt cannot be used for 75w90 diffs, but some diffs do call for Dexron-type ATF. This can be used in those, but not your application.

I'd avoid WD40. It's purpose in life is as a [W]ater [D]isplacer to flush water out of places that is harmful to metal parts. But I also use it to strip grease off bike chains. Whatever lubricant the knife had might have just been flushed out of it. I would use the penetrating oil for frozen bolts as recommended then try to get as much of that off as possible since you probably need to re-grease it which won't be easy. Try to work grease or a dry lube back into the sliding surfaces. The penetrating oil residue will probably thin the first applications of grease or lube, you may need to repeat. I'd avoid WD40.

No. WD-40 is a very light oil. It would dissipate quickly from the friction and heat generated. In addition there would be fumes for the WD-40 that would not be pleasant or healthy to breath for an extended time.

You shouldn't run anything but synthetic in your turbo model. 5w-40 is perfect. exactly what the dealer uses. you will gunk up the engine if you use conventional oil.

The answer is located in the "Amerisun Powersmart & Snow Devil Troubleshooting" Guide. Quote: "NOTE: ONLY USE 5W-30, 4-STROKE AUTOMOTIVE DETERGENT OIL WITH AN API SERVICE RATING OF SJ OR HIGHER. ENGINE OIL CAPACITY [LCT 208CC ENGINE] - 16 OZ. (0.473 LITER). THE USE OF AUTOMOTIVE SYNTHETIC OIL IS ACCEPTABLE"

You need to purchase "Treadmill belt lubricant" and apply it as directed. The lubricant is a pure silicon, you can purchase on Amazon.com. WD40 may eat up the belt material in time. It has petroleum in it.

I would give it a try since the viscosity would be similar. My unit could not maintain suction and it took a long time then it was very slow. Running the engine to heat up the oil and thin out the fluid.
