•
Match the air compressor size to the UTILITY AIRSPADE nozzle on the tool. To
properly size the air compressor, make sure the air compressor flow rate is equal
to, or greater than, the nozzle flow rate.
•
Check the air compressor for sufficient fuel and oil levels.
•
Make sure the air compressor is secure from accidental motion.
•
Close the air supply valve on the air compressor.
•
Make sure all air supply hose
connections are securely
made and safety clips
are installed.
•
Use air supply hose with a
pressure rating equal to, or
greater than, 150 psi.
•
Use air supply hose of an
appropriate diameter and length.

STARTING
•
Start the air compressor according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
•
The air compressor should build pressure until 100 – 120 psi is shown on the air
compressor pressure gauge.
•
Make sure that UTILITY AIRSPADE is turned off. Point the nozzle away from all
personnel or loose objects that could become airborne. Open the air supply valve
on the air compressor.
•
Securely hold the UTILITY AIRSPADE. Point the nozzle up and away from all
personnel and any loose objects, and depress the trigger. Read the air compressor
pressure gauge and the pressure gauge on the tool. During operation the air pressure
gauge on the tool should read between 80 and 100 psi (5.5 and 6.9 bar). If not,
adjust the output pressure of the air compressor.
