3. Incorrect lubrication or not enough
lubrication.
4. Blocked air inlet screen (if equipped).
5. Air leaking from loose housing.
6. Mechanism contaminated.
7. Vane wear or damage.
1. Check for loose connections and make sure
that air supply is providing enough air flow
(CFM) at required pressure (PSI) to the tool’s air
inlet. Do not exceed maximum air pressure.
2. Clean around throttle to ensure free movement.
3. Lubricate using air tool oil and grease according
to directions.
4. Clean air inlet screen of buildup.
