PNEUMATIC INFORMATION

AIR SUPPLY INSTALLATION

If compressor has a good dryer unit, use black pickled pipe.  When a dryer unit is not installed,
use galvanized or copper pipe. To perform reliably, a pneumatic tool requires a continuous
source of clean, water-free air at adequate pressure. 

Never operate this tool using a bottled air or gas source. 

Bottled air/gas sources do not provide consistent operating pressure

A filter-regulator-lubricator
(FRL) unit must be installed as
close to the air tool as possible,
preferably within 10 feet.  It
should be placed in a
convenient location where it
can easily be drained, adjusted,
and filled with oil.  The air hose
must have at least a 3/8" I.D.  A
quick disconnect socket fitting
is installed on the stress spring
end of the hose for convenient
hookup to the air tool.

Filter and lubricator bowls are made of polycarbonate material.  Do not install where bowls may
be exposed to materials  incompatible with polycarbonate.  Certain oils, solvents, and chemicals
or their fumes can weaken these bowls and possibly cause them to burst.  Clean only with warm
water. A cut-off valve placed ahead of the filter will be useful when cleaning the filter or
replenishing the lubricator.
