Air Supply
Tools of this class operate on a wide range
of air pressures. It is recommended that air
pressure of these tools measures 90 PSI at
the tool while running free. Higher pressure
(over 90 psig; 6.2 bar) raises performance
beyond the rated capacity of the tool which
will shorten tool life because of faster wear
and could cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive
fumes and/or water in the air line will
cause damage to the tool. Drain the air
tank daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen
on at least a weekly schedule. The recom-
mended hookup procedure can be viewed
in the above figure.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply,
has standard 1/4" NPT. Line pressure
should be increased to compensate for
unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet).
Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8"
I.D. and fittings should have the same
inside dimensions and be tightly secured.
Operation
This ratchet wrench is rated at 3/8" USS
bolt size. Rating must be down graded for
spring U bolts, tie bolts, long cap screws,
double depth nuts, badly rusted conditions
and spring fasteners as they absorb much
of the impact power. When possible, clamp
or wedge the bolt to prevent springback.
Soak rusted nuts in penetrating oil and
break rust seal before removing with ratchet
wrench. If nut does not start to move in
three to five seconds use an impact wrench.
Do not use impact wrench beyond rated
capacity as this will drastically reduce tool
life.
The forward/reversing button is used to
change the rotation of the tool. When the
button is set to the right, the tool will turn
in a right hand rotation. When the button
is set to the left, the tool will turn in a left
hand rotation.
NOTE: Actual torque on a fastener is direct-
ly related to joint hardness, tool speed,
condition of socket and the time the tool is
allowed to impact.
Use the simplest possible tool-to-socket hook
up. Every connection absorbs energy and
reduces power.
Troubleshooting
Other factors outside the tool may cause
loss of power or erratic action. Reduced
compressor output, excessive drain on the
air line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes
or the use of hose connections of improper
size or poor conditions may reduce air
supply. Grit or gum deposits in the tool
may cut power and may be corrected by
cleaning the air strainer and flushing out
the tool with gum solvent oil or an equal
mixture of SAE #10 and kerosene. If
outside conditions are in order and the tool
continues to perform erratically, disconnect
tool from hose and take tool to your nearest
authorized service center.
Lubrication
Lubricate the air motor daily with quality
air tool oil. If no air line oiler is used, run
a teaspoon of oil through the tool. The oil
can be squirted into the tool air inlet or into
the hose at the nearest connection to the air
supply, then run the tool. The amount of oil
to be used is 1 ounce. Overfilling will cause
a reduction in the power of the tool.
Grease ratchet yoke as needed.
