For operational safety and overall productivity

considerations, it is required that specific Long Reach
Air Tool components meet minimum acceptable
operational standards BEFORE utilization:

1) The air hose assemblies and coupling devices are of
proper type and structural condition that allow them to
perform their intended job function as outlined within
this manual.

2) Throttle valve control is in a proper mechanical
condition that allows it to perform its intended job
function as outlined in this manual. A throttle valve with
a damaged or bent lever, a sticking or damaged valve
mechanism must be replaced with a factory approved
replacement only.

3) The protective cover for the throttle valve control is
in proper structural condition to afford protection for the
valve in the event it comes in direct contact with a
foreign object, thereby preventing inadvertent
actuation.

4) The tool receiver is in a structural condition that
allows it to perform its intended job function of properly
containing the accessory tool shank as outlined within
this manual.

5) The tool retainer assembly (cover and retaining
bushing) is in a structural condition that allows it to
perform its intended job function of properly retaining
the accessory tool as outlined within this manual.
