WARNING!
Ensure the air supply does not exceed 125psi
(8.5 bar) while operating the unit. Too high an air pressure
will shorten the life of the unit due to excessive wear and
may cause damage and/or personal injury.
3.1. Ensure the gun trigger is in the Off position before connecting
to the air supply.
3.2. Where possible the compressor should be sited in a separate
room with the connecting airline kept as short as possible.
The compressor should have an air filter and water separator (fig.1).
3.3. Drain the compressor air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the unit.
3.4. The recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1.
3.5. The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4" I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
3.6. Use correct hoses and fittings.
DO NOT
use quick change couplings as they add weight and can cause failure due to vibration. Add a
leader hose and connect coupling between this and supply hose.
3.7. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear and ensure that all connections are secure.
