f) Operate the air tool with operator positions which
enhance stability, productivity and overall productivity.

g) Do not operate the air tool without a suitable
accessory tool properly installed. Damage to the air
tool can result.

h) Do not install/remove accessory tools with the air
tool connected to the air source. Properly shutting off
the air source and/or releasing air pressure from the
hose BEFORE installing/removing accessory tools will
maximize safety and overall productivity.

i) For proper operation and extended service life, the
Long Reach Air Tool will require a compressed air
source which provides:

1) Clean air free of moisture, dirt, sand and other
foreign substances.

2) Optimum air flow rate for each tool delivered at the
specified pressure level.

3) The addition of lubrication oil at specific intervals to
provide for the necessary lubrication between moving
parts.

INSTALLING THE MODEL MDF-1000 AIR CADDY.

Application: All models.

Tools Required:

1 each, small, clean funnel.
1 each, small, adjustable wrench (if required).

Parts Required:

1 each, quantity of pneumatic tool lubrication oil 

conforming to ISO 3498 HM.32. Refer to the 
Specifications section for additional 
information.

The MDF-1000 Air Caddy is an optional accessory
designed to be placed between the compressed air
source and the Long Reach Air Tool.  The function of
the Air Caddy is to provide clean, lubricated air at the
specified pressure level and is composed of the
following components:

a) An inline air filter designed to remove contaminants
such as water, dirt, etc.

b) An adjustable regulator designed to allow the air

pressure to the Long Reach Air Tool to be constantly
regulated to a maximum 90 PSI (600 kPa), regardless
of the air pressure being developed by the compressed
air source.

c) An adjustable oiler unit designed to provide the
necessary lubrication to the moving components of the
Long Reach Air Tool. Lubrication oil is utilized to
minimize component wear and to allow the tool to
produce the stated blow frequency and blow force. 

1) The filter is located at the inlet. Remove or loosen
the drain plug located on the bottom of the filter
reservoir to remove all contamination. Variances in
specific design configurations can exist. Replace or
tighten the drain plug after all the contamination has
properly drained from the reservoir. FIGURE 6.

FIGURE 6

2) Turn the screw located on the bottom of the
pressure regulator out in a counterclockwise direction
to release all air pressure from the internal diaphragm.
Variances in specific design configurations can exist.
Do not allow the screw to become loose from the
regulator. FIGURE 7.
