Assembly of the Power Unit
Holding the handle ‘up’ and all the power unit components
together, slide them up into the handle. With all the components
together and the handle in the ‘up’ position, components are less
likely to get misaligned.
Spin and Tighten
To insure power unit components stay aligned when installed into
the handle, use the following procedure:
1. Using the spanner wrench, snug the retainer
(Figure 2)
.
This is a left-hand thread. Counter-clockwise tightens.
2. Place the driver adapter into position and rotate the air
motor back and forth a few times
(Figure 3)
.
3. Snug the retainer again, using the spanner wrench
(Figure 2)
, then rotate the driver and air motor back and
forth
(Figure 3)
with the driver adapter.
4. Repeat the process one last time.
5. The drive adapter should turn freely in the power unit.
6. Using the spanner wrench, make sure the retainer is tight after
each days use, as the retainer may loosen with time or usage.
7. When the motor is properly installed one or two threads will
be visible (Figure 4). If there are more threads the O-Ring
may be missing. No threads visible – either Step 1 or 3 was
not done correctly.
Power Unit Alignment & Installation
Align the power components and push up
inside the AirMax™ handle.
Snug the retainer using the spanner wrench.
Using the driver adapter, rotate the air motor
back and forth.
When the air motor is properly installed there
will be one or two threads visible — too many
or no threads means miss installation.

What happens with an
improperly seated power unit ...
An improperly tightened power unit will spin
inside the handle, causing a total loss of power and
damage to the handle. The procedures on this
page will prevent this.
