AIR SYSTEMS
OPERATING AIR PRESSURE
The correct operating air pressure is the lowest
compressed air setting that will do the job .
Using the tool at a higher pressure than required
wastes air, and over stresses the tool . Start at
90 p .s .i . and adjust the air pressure up or down
as required .
OPERATING AIR PRESSURE
MUST NOT EXCEED 120 P.S.I. WHICH IS THE
MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING FOR THE TOOL.
AIR LINE LUBRICANTS
The following lubricants are recommended for
use in the air line lubricator . Above 0C (32°F)
use a non-detergent S .A .E . No . 20 commercially
available air tool oil . Below 0°C use a mixture of
non-detergent S .A .E . No . 10, 1 part to three parts
ethylene glycol automotive anti-freeze, certified as
being compatible for use with aluminum . It should
NOT
contain any anti-leak additives .
Placing a few drops of non-detergent oil in the
tool air inlet before each use is beneficial . This is
intended to supplement an air line lubricator, not
to replace its use .
NEVER use a detergent type oil, ie . motor engine
oil, sewing machine oil, etc . Use of these types of
oils may cause deterioration to the O-rings and
cause them to swell . This in turn may cause the
tool to malfunction and create a safety hazard .
TOOL HOSE CONNECTIONS & AIR HOSE
REQUIREMENTS
Air supply hoses must have a minimum working
pressure rating of 150 p .s .i . Use a good quality
hose, with a minimum i/d bore of 8mm (5/16”) .
The air inlet fitting at the rear of the handle is
threaded to accept a male 1/4-18 NPT nipple .
Ensure a quick release air coupling and nipple
are used . The air shut-off coupling (female) must
be connected to the AIR SUPPLY . The NIPPLE
must be connected to the TOOL, so that air
cannot be trapped in the tool when released
from the air supply .
AIR FILTER/REGULATOR/LUBRICATOR
An air filter, pressure regulator, and lubricator
must be included in the air system for proper
tool operation .
The Filter:
will prevent excessive tool wear by
trapping scale, dirt and water .
The Regulator:
is very important as it sets
the correct air pressure for the tool . A regulator
positioned close to the tool assures proper and
economical operation .
The Lubricator:
replaces the heavy duty
lubrications used in routine maintenance, and
injects an oil mist into the tool’s air supply .
This greatly assists tool life .
