• A typical air line layout is shown above. If an automatic in-line filter/
regulator is used it will keep the tool in good condition. The lubricator
should be adjusted to approx 2 drops per minute and SAE 10 oil
should be used.
• Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the air tool.
Ensure that air pressure does not exceed that stated in the
specification for the tool when running. Higher pressures and
contaminated air will shorten the life of the air tool due to faster
wear and is a possible safety hazard.
INSTALLATION
For maximum life, use in conjunction with a general purpose air line filter
equipped with a 5-micron element.
Polycarbonate bowls are not recommended for use in atmospheres
containing chemicals such as acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride,
ethylene dichloride, gasoline and/or air compressor systems using synthetic
fire-resistant lubricants.
1. Ensure the compressor is turned off. Before using the airline, drain water
from the air reservoir at the compressor.
2. The filter should be installed with reasonable accessibility for service
whenever possible.
3. Keep pipe or tubing lengths to a minimum with the inside clean and free of
dirt. Pipe joint compound should be used sparingly and applied only to the
male pipe — never into the female port.
4. Take care using PTFE tape to seal pipe joints — pieces have a tendency to
break off and lodge inside the unit, possibly causing malfunction.
