MT1840 3/8" Mini Air Ratchet
air Supply
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pres sures. It is
recommended that air pres sure of these tools mea sures 90 PSI at the
tool while running free. Higher pres sure (over 90 psig; 6.2 bar) raises
performance beyond the rated capacity of the tool which will short en
tool life be cause 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 rec om mend ed
hookup pro ce dure can be viewed in the above figure.
The air inlet used for con nect ing air supply, has stan dard 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 di men sions and be tightly
secured.
trOubleShOOting
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or erratic
action. Reduced compressor output, ex ces sive 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 tool continues to perform erratically, disconnect tool from
hose and take tool to your nearest MATCO au tho rized 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 con nec tion to the
air supply, then run the tool. The amount of oil to be used is 1 ounce.
Overfilling will cause a re duc tion in the power of the tool. Grease fitting
on yoke occasionally to ensure proper lubrication of the ratchet
mechanism.
