Air
supply
1.
Ensure wrench air valve (or trigger) is in the
"off'
position before connecting to the air supply.
2. You will require an air pressure
of
90psi, 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
or
personal injury.
4. Drain the air tank daily. Water inthe air line will damage the wrench.
5. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
-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_,?pen approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain
of
oil collects
on the paper. Excessive amounts
of
oil should
be
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 be 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 wearprematurely.
• Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator should
be
oflow
air flow
or
changing air flow
type, and should be kept filled to the
c01/rect
level. Use only recommended lubricants, specially made for
pneumatic applications. Substitutes may
!)arm
the rubber compounds in the tools
0-rings
and other rubber
parts. I
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. ·
