While most mags have a 500 hour inspection interval, with the Limbach mag being direct drive, and firing with wasted spark, I believe it has some interesting environmental issues. It turns much faster than other applications and fires more frequently. After seeing my last mag at 250 hours, internally it looked more like a 500 hour mag to me. Hence, I have decided on that inspection/overhaul interval. Having only one is a good incentive.
Does anyone else have any observations or thoughts on this?
