Air supply
1.
Ensure wrench air valve (or trigger) is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.
2.
You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
3.
WARNING!
Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the wrench. Too high an
air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing
damage or personal injury.
4.
Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the wrench.
5.
Clean air inlet filter weekly.
6.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum
hose diameter should be 3/8” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
7.
Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are
secure.
Lubrication
An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig4) as it increases tool life and keeps the tool in
sustained operation. The in-line lubricator should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil.
Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports and
holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects
on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it
should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool should be run for approximately 30 seconds
to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean and dry
environment.
It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by keeping the air line lubricator filled and correctly
adjusted. Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.
Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator should be of low air flow or changing air flow
type, and should be kept filled to the correct level. Use only recommended lubricants, specially made for
pneumatic applications. Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the tools O-rings and other rubber
parts.
IMPORTANT!!!
If a filter/regulator/lubricator is not installed on the air system, air operated tools should be lubricated at least once
a day or after 2 hours work with 2 to 6 drops of oil, depending on the work environment, directly through the male
fitting in the tool housing.
