Symptom
Explanation/Procedure
Post lodged in the
driver
1. Remove the 2 bolts that secure the adapter and separate the driver from the adapter.
2. Slide the adapter down the post to expose the top of the post. With the proper cutting tool for the type of post, cut
through the post below the flared portion.
3. Once the deformed portion is removed, slide the adapter off the post and reassemble it to the driver. Please follow
bolt tightening procedure.
Drives post slow
or sluggish
performance
1. Inspect the chuck to see if there is any foreign material blocking the piston.
2. Check to see if piston is moving freely by disconnecting the driver from air, tipping upside down and back upright.
You should be able to hear the piston moving freely.
3. Check to ensure the rate of lubrication is adequate.
4. If using a FRL, inspect the filter on the FRL, if impacted with residue replace with new filter.
5. Inspect the filter on the Throttle. If clogged, blow off debris with air hose, or clean with a common cleaning solvent.
6. Check to see if air pressure is correct
7. Check output on compressor
8. In temperatures under 40ºF (4ºC) or high humidity conditions check air lines and tool for icing.
Noticeable air passing
through driver or
“blow by”
To confirm this condition exists, connected to air source, place driver on a post, while activating the throttle lift the
driver slightly if the piston increases in activity blow by is confirmed. This indicates there is most likely damaged or
worn parts inside the driver. In this event the driver should be sent to Rhino Tool Company to be inspected and we
will report if the driver is repairable.
