Operating Instructions
⚠
WARNING
•
Always wear the proper protective equipment, including ANSI Z87.1 compliant eye protection.
•
High Pressure Fluid Hazard. Do not use a hose pressure rating that is less than the grease gun.
•
Do not exceed the max pressure of 6000 PSI.
•
Ensure that the trigger is in the OFF position when connecting to the air supply.
Setting up the Air Line for Operation
•
Make sure that the air compressor being used for the air tool operation supplies the correct output
(CFM).
•
Have the tool in the “off” position when connecting the tool to the air supply.
•
Use normal 90 psi working pressure for best tool performance while running the tool. High
pressure and unclean air will shorten the tool life due to faster wear and also may create a
hazardous situation.
•
Drain water from air compressor tank daily, as well as any condensation in the air lines. Water in
the air line may enter the tool and damage the tool’s mechanisms.
•
Clean the air inlet filter cartridge weekly. The recommended hook-up procedure can be viewed in
the following diagram.
•
Line pressure should be increased accordingly to make up for extra-long air hoses (over 26 feet in
length). The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4 in. (inner diameter) and the fittings should
have the same inside dimensions. 3/8in. I.D. air hose is recommended for optimal performance.
Use proper hoses and fittings. A quick coupler connected directly to the tool is not recommended,
as vibrations may cause connection failure. Instead, add a leader hose and connect coupling
between air supply and hose whip.
•
Check hoses for wear before each use. Make certain that all connections are secure.
