Air
supply
1.
Ensure wrench air valve (or trigger)
is
in the
"off'
po~ition
before connecting to the air supply.
2.
You will require an air pressure of90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
3.
WARNING! Ensure the air supply
is
clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the
wrench. Too high
an
air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive
wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
4.
Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the wrench.
5.
Clean air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig
1.
6.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4" I.D. and fittings must have the same inside
dimensions.
7.
Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all
connections are secure.
Lubrication
An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig4)
as
it increases tool life and keeps the tool
in
sustained operation. The in-line lubricator should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil.
Proper adjustment
of
the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet
of
paper next to the exhaust ports and
holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain
of
oil collects
on the paper. Excessive amounts
of
oil should he avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period
of
time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it
should receive a generous amount
of
lubrication at that time. The tool should he run for approximately 30 seconds
to
ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool. The tool should
be
stored
in
a clean and dry
environment.
•
It
is most important that the tool be properly lubricated
by
keeping the air line lubricator filled and correctly
adjusted. Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.
• Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator should be
of
low air flow or changing air flow
type, and should be kept filled
to
the correct level. Use only recommended lubricants, specially made for
pneumatic applications. Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the tools 0-rings and other rubber
parts.
IMPORTANT!!!
If
a filter/regulator/lubricator
is
not installed on the air system, air operated tools should be lubricated at least once
a day or after 2 hours work with 2
to
6 drops
of
oil, depending on the work environment, directly through the male
fitting in the tool housing.
